Matthieu Blazy - Designer, Creative Director of Chanel

[Lola701]

of course around the world women and men with luxury rtw or acc do take public transport but i think the feeling is more nuanced that the quick knee jerk comment of the tube x chanel girl /woman :
like i think if the apartment was more to the chanel client level taking the subway would be the realistic balance but it's all in a environment of a young couple starting out in the big city which is more far fetched and disconnected to have both in head to toes Chanel.
(if it was tokey ok small apartment and lots of designer stuff is more realistic like the Happy Victims by Kyoichi Tsuzuki series

over all the vid to me shows lack of refinement in concept and world building the pulling of the suit is also bad you see parts at the leg already falling apart before the effects takes place ...thing being on set you would retake with the chanel budget its just not an excuse even if talent was only available for a short amount of hours.

its a 19 billion euro a year turnover company not a side art project

Your comment is more nuanced than « someone wearing Chanel don’t take the subway ».
But I agree and that’s what I didn’t necessarily fully understood around the movie. We aren’t in the early 00’s so we cannot simply see Chanel as a HF brand but also as a bastion for luxury.

So yes for me the disconnect has more to do with their apartment and their way of living, emphasized by their way of dressing than taking the subway.

But at the same time, it’s very Gondry, so I guess we all should throw tomatoes at Matthieu for choosing him lol. It’s a harmful anecdotical film. It will probably stay anecdotical lol.

But yes, I would like to believe that in 2025, women and men who likes wearing the finest things would also like living in a fine environment.

It would have worked if she was styled in a less bourgeois way.

But I would admit it, when I’m wearing a full Chanel suit, it’s car only. And preferably, I don’t drive lol.

But Blazy could have challenged him on let say the apartment choice as Chanel is the client and with creative collaboration you should have a balance for a brand project but ...i honestly think blazy likes the arte povera belgium edition sad interiors lol

yes the look is so stiff lady and it makes the contrast juts more painfully clear even if the buttons spell chanel its too bourgeois.

look at his Bottega ads see the back grounds are always gritty and sad

But see I don’t find the contrast that shocking in the BV ads. Those looks are rather relaxed.

Karl has done campaigns in not fancy environments, I think about the one with Angela Lindvall for SS2001, the campaign for the SS2016 or even the campaign for the supermarket collection.

When the looks gives « fashion » more than luxury, the contrast can be interesting.

But when you go full on luxury, go for it!

I’m so curious to know where they will show.

They did the train station, the Chanel store and the MET.
I wonder if it will be a street thing like Virginie did in Manchester.
