Matthieu Blazy - Designer, Creative Director of Chanel

[PDFSD]

But what’s the point, really?
A significant portion of regular posters here are industry insiders and the TFS community represents a more distilled, elevated segment of fashion enthusiasts, closer to the level of fashion critics with more discerning and high-standard opinions than the average fashion/luxury fan/customer.
If anything, it’s the C-suites who should have their assistants monitoring TFS to sharpen/inform brand strategy and creative director appointments, not just the PR team.

brand reports /reviews on fashion shows or adv or products etc reach ceo and c suits when these are done, TFS is there in between it all.
They even take snippets of social media comments to fashion reporters reviews or influencer blogs etc etc

its all to add or highlight or monitor a situation for call of action etc

facts.

i remain surprised years later after his bv appointment that fashion critics and various colored squares love his work and kiss his a**
i wouldnt be surprised if PP or Marc Jacobs have more depth to them behind their tacky and crazy façade respectively ...
Lee had more artistic depth and profundity in his products and vision and yet everyone was sooooo obsessed with mb because wOw he does the ceramics and chair thing within the fashion maison w0o0o0o0o0w .. not a hater of blazy whatsoever but lets be honest we know what he is gonna push in Chanel ....

honestly i think lot of love for Blazy was built because people loved so much how cool BV got with Lee and he left too soon the brand so Blazy coat tail on the hype but added more quirky artsy gimmicks to the mix and that became the thing!!!! of focus for BV cool aura..... plus the mix of Blazy kind of down to earth image against the difficult toxi wonder boy lee.

the media love an underdog to build up........ so does its audience.........myth building is part of fashion sure........ but a spade is still a spade.

the kering pr team must have had a whole party after the demna announcement and reading the reactions.

people loved so much how cool BV got with Lee

thats the whole problem with blazy, he is not lee and he did not move BV anywhere at all.

Be careful you can't be this nuanced today on an male white gay modern designer .... it's considered hate* speech in 2025

*Only for the selected short list (of mostly female designers) its aloud by the chosen mass to blindly dislike.

not worth it!!!! stay anon, people should read online & make their own assessments on given news or intel etc

you have nothing to prove ...dont fall for it

Thank you ❤️

At this point all of them are white gay male designers. Just this year alone at least 5 of them have been put in CD positions in big houses. Three replacing women, actually (4 if we count Mary leaving Dior for JWA which is what is going to happen eventually).

I wish him the best but I think the concern is that the Chanel customer is very different from BV, CK or the other brands he's worked at.

We are ready to move on! Really.
No matter how different his Chanel will be, it will still have two tone shoes, tweed jackets, pants, dresses and suits and cashmere twin-sets.
So he can come, dust it all off. If Laurence Dacade is still there, she will finally design an attractive shoe…Something she hasn’t done in years!

So sick of it
