Matthieu Blazy - Designer, Creative Director of Chanel

warning note : home work for Blazy ......not for all the chanel online experts this is for Blazy to catch up :)

Haven’t watched yet but hopefully, he will try not to emulate Karl.
Because first of all: which Karl?
The provocateur of the 80’s/early 90’s? The conservative of the late 90’s? The modernist of the 00’s or the Post-modernist of the 2010’s.

The only thing for me Blazy should get from Karl, beyond doing références to his work, is being constantly changing and not be stuck on his ways.

That’s the gift of Karl as a designer. He knew his game but was never stuck on his ways.

Hopefully, MGC will also remember Karl at Fendi. His body of work there is even more exceptional.

Thats why its important for him to watch it, its goes through all the versions of KL and how he changed/kept reinventing when sales went down or not recieving good press etc.

The key is to see public/press criticism as way to grow and do better or prove people wrong, not to stay stubborn and do same things over and over again.

Have not seen Blazy apply himself to do what is hard for him make a cohesive story or well tailored clothes to start with some basics.
 
The unfortunate thing about Blazy and today is the media and fashion journalists *in lock step* praised this collection. It was the number one show of the season. I don't think there were any major fashion journalists that were critical of this collection. There were Chanel customers that went on social media and criticized it.
 
The state of present journalism is so rotted because of the many interests involved that it's become more interesting to read rumours here.
Even when they are not confirmed, at least they point to something that might be real.

The bad thing about Chanel was not the show, which was fine. It was waking up and seeing Keira Knightley dressed in the pre-col (amongst other things).
