Matthieu Blazy - Designer, Creative Director of Chanel

[Kanzai]

I'm all in for the 1930s references.

 

[helmutnotdead]

my mental stability depends 100% on Matthieu Blazy

That is the one decade from Chanel history we should definitely skip…

 

[tourbillions]

its hard to be excited about this, he had no vision in bv and the fabric manipulation always looked undone.

 

[Kanzai]

^^^Karl was nobody until the late phase of him at Chloé, so I don't thing that's a big deal.

 

[tourbillions]

they had no youtube that time so when you were a "nobody" it just means people have not seen your work. In this times, if you have handled BV and still a "nobody" it means you will stay like that unless you turn things around.

 

[Avonlea]

To say that Karl was nobody until the late phase at Chloe is simply untrue.

His breakthrough work for Chloe was in 1965 and he already declined Chanel in 70’s but stayed at Chloe until 1983. So at what point he became somebody?
He was already well known alongside Sonia Rykiel and Kenzo.

 

[TianCouture]

cool another minimalist collection. hope thats not true.

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

I want to like it but please no more Phoebe.

 

[Grets]

It's 100% going to be another Phoebe collection with tromp l'oeil and is why the fashion world will eat it up.

 

[just me]

There is no way he lives up to the hype.

I will be happy if he somewhat matches Raf's first for Dior in terms of elegance.

 

[Kanzai]

C’mon, not people sweating because it’s gonne be “miNImalisT”, like Coco Chanel herself wasn’t on that spectrum, 2000s Karl (my favourite decade of him) was anything but extravaganza and maximalist, Alaia/Grès/Cristobal/Dior were all minimal leaning, Armani’s aesthetic was on the opposite spectrum of flamboyance and loudness etc, Issey and many more great designers!

I mean your fashion can totally be glamorous and minimal at the same time, just use dialectical methodology instead of metaphysicalizing everything.

You guys are expecting Blazy to be next Lacroix/Galliano or sth?

Show Invitation:

 

[chanelh]

ummmmm already have a bad feeling after seeing the invitation

« Our house, in the middle of the street »? Lol.
The thing about Chanel is that Karl had explore the case in such ways that I don’t expect to be disappointed. He literally explored the 20s to the 18th century. He did Dior-esque Chanel collections, 60s inspired, from minimalism to maximalism.

It’s really not like Raf for example. Galliano did 2 seasons of Minimalism for example so there was something to explore there.

Chanel is doing a dinner for the clients who travelled the day before the show. The energy is buzzing.

 

[Nimsay]

More humorous than do you dare enter the house of dior.

The whole house of chanel hanging on a chain….

[jeanclaude]

The gimmicks begin...reminded me of that cardboard Dior Maison look which Mary-Grace perpetrated years ago.
