Matthieu Blazy - Designer, Creative Director of Chanel

I cant believe its here either.

I love seeing Jupiter front and center.

Bruno's shade is off the charts

"I really admire anyone who can join a house and put out a full collection in a matter of days or weeks. We take a longer-term approach. The most important thing was giving Matthieu time to truly settle into the brand. That’s also what sets us apart, so I believe we made the right decision and chose the right pace."

"I’m not sure that, in 15 years’ time, there will be many creative directors with the longevity of someone like Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren or Karl Lagerfeld. They are truly exceptional. Will this new generation of designers have the same staying power? One can only hope so, but inevitably, the questions of succession and creative renewal arise, and it just so happens that it’s happening everywhere all at once."

The teasers so far remind me of the SS97 campaigns

I mean nothing Bruno said is wrong though. Dior shouldn't have rushed SS26 for either gender and the role of creative director has become a farce that gives customers whiplash.

I’m wholeheartedly keeping my fingers crossed for Blazy’s debiut ! Hope he will sneak 1-2 men’s looks (like a jacket or something, I’m not greedy haha).

Zhou Xun is wearing the 26P Spring Summer Pre-collection 2026 to the show. Could already be Blazy?

We made it! We survived NY, London, Dario Vitale and today is the day.

I really believe Blazy is going to give us a good surprise. 😚

I miss everything that couldn' t be. I miss Stella.

Ambassadors bores me. i am interested in Lagerfeld' s symbiosis with Stella or Claudia.

Grand Palais is fuuuuull of people already! Wow

So much expectation. Probably the most expected show in decades?

I’ve never seen so many cravats rouges in a show. Probably more than 130 + 70 security guys. Crazy.

^given the amount of people, the celebrities etc and to start not too late, coming now is quite ´normal’.

Very expected shows like this one have security staff to be absolutely crazy.

Yeah I mean I’ve been in lot of shows by Dior and this doesn’t even compare. It really feels like something else. It gives you a very grandiose feeling. Like if something very important was about to happen, I don’t know how to explain.

IDK I feel kind of bad for MB. I feel like the stakes are SO UNBELIEVABLY HIGH that no matter what is shown it just will not live up to expectation. Hoping he references spring 2000 and 2003 specifically, which for right now feel so modern for some reason.

THis is beyond, this might be one of the biggest shows in modern history. Karl was at chanel for thirty seven years. So this is a completely new point of view on this house.

So sad to not be able to attend! I can only imagine!
I know the clients pack came in full force!!

Yes probably. I’m sure the entire family (Weirthemers and Heilbronn) came too.

Half of the Chanel couture clients I follow on Instagram are in Paris to see Blazy's debut. Exciting times!

 

[Lola701]

Better than Balenciaga no?
