Chanel S/S 2026 Paris

...but for a corporate guy he is perfect, no?

The only thing you didn't mention is women's skin. How we feel. To me, this matters the most. Chanel uses synthetics in its tweed fabric, but it always adds a silk lining, not viscose. Blazy's tweed, in a few instances here, has no lining, hence the skin is directly in contact with the tweed. It will feel differently (and less pleasant).

Ah yes, the mark of a woman—being able to differentiate between silk and viscose based on skin contact. I'd love to see someone test the theory out, because I reckon even the most sensitive and cultured Chanel costumer wouldn't be able to distinguish viscose from silk in this instance.

Maybe you guys find some of us funny but they are not even close ...I don't know what else to say and I'm not even a "cultured" Chanel customer lol

I think they just gave her a direction to loosen up, but the emotion was palpable. I was watching online and felt like the world was ending lol Can't imagine how they felt.

It was a wonderful moment why must we sh*t on everything. Fashion never use to be like this.

Those bags look like a sorting hat…. Not good.

At the end of the day, you're grousing about a few viscose garments that you will probably never touch, so the distinction there between silk and viscose is moot.

My point is this: perhaps instead of there being some grand conspiracy—and you're posting about this in Hedi's thread too—to cut costs at Chanel by selling unlined viscose tweed, Mathieu Blazy was simply trying something different. Maybe instead of getting marching orders from the suits to use less expensive fabric, he thought that viscose had traits that were desirable in terms of what he was trying to achieve. Maybe the viscose tweed had a different quality of movement or sat on the body differently. Viscose is lighter than silk after all, and contrary to your earlier claims it is neither synthetic (it's a chemically altered organic material) nor less breathable than silk.

But all of this has already been pointed out by others in prior posts, and by a fabric researcher to boot. So at the end of the day, you're dressing up an individual complaint (you don't like viscose, you've had bad experiences with viscose) in fuzzy gripes about quality even though your argument doesn't hold water. Ultimately, Blazy used viscose tweed to achieve a particular effect, and this also involved the labour of a number of skilled craftspeople. There's nothing cheap in that process, and these are not cheap or lower quality garments. We'll probably see different materials (perhaps even your coveted silk-lined, non-viscose tweed) in his F/W collection, when the aesthetic and practical concerns are also different.

Im so excited to see those pieces irl and again, their translation in a more « practical RTW. A lot of suits were embroidered to look like tweed so it will be interesting to see them in those super light Lesage tweeds.
I also love the idea of organza printed to look like tweed. Actually perfect for eveningwear.

There are so many ideas that could trickle down in so many things in between obvious best sellers like the Charvet shirt.

In March, I’m sure the VIC will already wear the Chanel/Charvet with their old school Chanel accessories.

Nicole Kidman was wearing cashmere jeans, which is already an elevated version of those tacky jeans with sequins glued.
He has a sense of practicality that I think will be beneficial in the industrial aspect of the thing.

I really love the no casting stunts thing, aside from Alek that doesn’t even feel like a gimmick. It’s so fresh and modern to do so. Everyone trying to resuscitate a model from old times to be groundbreaking and special feels so, so, so passé.

With this collection I love some things, I hate some others… I don’t know.
