Discussion: Who Should Be The Creative Director of Chanel?

[Living Proof]

Now I want it to not be him just to see some eggs on their faces.

We've been playing this game for a while now but that WWD article definitely adds to the credibility of this latest Mathieu Blazy rumor. If the true, maybe it'll be the final nail in the coffin for Kering.

Considering his still relatively young age, Blazy has the experience (even in couture), the fashion credibility, he speaks French... His BV has been very diverse in terms of casting, image and trying to exude global appeal.
But I think most of all he seems like a nice guy, a total team player and someone without an enormous ego or diva behavior. His BV is still doing financially well in a more challenging market than before. And maybe he doesn't insist on a $10million (or more!) annual paycheck.
In short, I can see Leena Nair and co liking him. Their plan is Chanel the brand first and foremost and the CD should play second fiddle.

this was already with karl as much as he was big personality he always spoke of chanel as starting point to every thing and the point of it all , he always said he was the hired help/hired hitman.... jokingly just a illustrator.....also was smart of him as he had more than one house to take care of.

this concept of house as the center or putting the church of the center of the village is a french saying (Remettre l’église au milieu du village /they’re basically saying there is no excuse for a misunderstanding, as the details should have been clear once the following the discussing the instructions they just gave )
as this also how LV treated their LV with marc ......its not a concept that now leena & co are applying only now its been there for some houses for some time

hedi uses also this term in a interview

also its not CD is second fiddle the CD is the invited guest at the house not the owner not center of the universe ..its healthy as a guest you know your boundaries and you know why your there to not be boring and add to the stay and has the host you know you have obligation to make your guest feel welcomed and at ease it goes both ways more than master and servant idea of work relationship
