In Fashion’s Game of Musical Chairs, Matthieu Blazy Takes the Throne at Chanel

In Fashion’s Game of Musical Chairs, Matthieu Blazy Takes the Throne at Chanel

Published by skeptic

The long-simmering fashion vibe shift is officially underway. Matthieu Blazy, who until this morning was the creative director of Bottega Veneta, is the new creative director of Chanel. Blazy will reportedly oversee ready-to-wear, couture and accessories at the flagship French fashion house, and will make his debut in October during Paris Fashion Week. In a year where the fashion industry has undergone a profound creative upheaval, with over a dozen designers departing from high profile luxury brands, the Chanel job—vacated by Virginie Viard in June—was the biggest prize of all. Chanel is the second-biggest fashion house in the world, and among the most historically influential. Blazy beat out the competition (which is said to have included Hedi Slimane, Marc Jacobs, Simon Porte Jacquemus, and others) following a three year run at Bottega Veneta where he transformed the Kering-owned Italian luxury leathergoods brand into a beacon of creativity and craft. Following his departure, Bottega Veneta wasted no time naming a successor in Louise Trotter, whose exit from French heritage house Carven was confirmed this morning. The …

Riley Keough Left Room for “Chanel to Be Chanel” With Her Met Gala 2024 Look

Published by skeptic

Riley Keough, fresh off her film debut in the Joan Jett biopic The Runaways, attended the Met Gala for the first time in 2010. Now, nearly 15 years later, as she prepares for the Met Gala 2024, the Emmy nominee is far more calm about fashion’s biggest night. “I definitely am more relaxed at the Met Ball than I was when I was 20 years old,” she tells Vanity Fair. “I think that’s just in general, I’m not as nervous. It’s not as overwhelming…but I still treat every time like it’s the first because it’s a special event, even though I’ve been six or seven times.” This year, the Chanel ambassador interpreted the “Garden of Time” theme as “elegant, classic, and graceful,” and embodied those attributes in a custom look from the French fashion house. A floor-length dress with a black silk tulle top, fully embroidered with sequins, created a gray background that imitates tweed and camellias in shades of blue, pink, and black. The sheer midriff area was accentuated by a belted black chiffon …

Best Watches For Mothers Day 2024 from Cartier, Alpina and Chanel

Published by Sam

When seeking a Mother’s Day gift that’s sure to be appreciated, consider that a watch checks multiple boxes — the seemingly endless variety of models ensures a gift that perfectly expresses the personal style of every wife or mom, who will wear it while being reminded daily of the giver’s thoughtfulness. No matter whether your favorite mom prefers iconic elegance from Cartier, high fashion from Chanel or the status of a Patek Philippe, these and other watchmakers offer a bounty of coveted choices. Women’s timepieces are also enjoying a moment in the Swiss watch industry, which has recognized — albeit somewhat belatedly — that female consumers desire the same level of features and handcraft in mechanical designs as their male counterparts. It’s undeniably a thrilling time to be a woman who is a timepiece aficionado, as the ability to develop a watch wardrobe that’s multilayered and decidedly personal is easier than ever. With that in mind, this roundup of eight timepieces puts a spotlight on the newest releases, which combine technical craft with stunning design …

‘We need to take risks’: Chanel gets gritty with Marseille show | Chanel

Published by skeptic

Grey hoodies layered under the pastel tweed suits, a catwalk on top of an apartment building with concrete benches instead of gilt chairs, looking out over the rooftops of Marseille, France’s less manicured second city. Chanel has – in fashion speak – a New Look. In the parlance of 2024, it is in its gritty era. “If Marseille is unexpected, that’s good. We don’t want to be stuck. We need to take risks if we want to show that Chanel is for everyone,” said Bruno Pavlovsky, Chanel’s president of fashion, before the brand’s first ever show in the city. “If we were just for the happy few in the Rue Cambon [in Paris], then that would be the beginning of the end.” To be relevant and modern now means engaging with diversity and real life – even for a billion-dollar luxury brand. Coming on the heels of shows in Manchester last year and in Dakar, Senegal, in 2022, the choice of Marseille to showcase this summer’s cruise collection reflects a new strategy at Chanel. “We …

Barbie‘s global take will soon top $1.5 billion — and that’s only in box-office receipts.

11 best ballet flats for women 2024: From Chanel to Miu Miu, Zara, Mango & MORE

Published by skeptic

Last year, ballet flats were declared officially back, and now its hard to imagine our wardrobes or our Instagram feeds without them. Like the resurgence of many other Y2K trends, I was instantly transported back to my teenage years and initially sceptical, but with their comfort, elegance and versatility, what’s not to love? Of course, Chanel’s iconic two-tone pair has been around since the 1950s, but if you too still associate them with the unstylish era of wearing X and a waist belt with literally everything, just take a look at Miu Miu’s super cute logo-jacquard strap ballet flats or the .

JULIEN DE ROSA / AFP During the lenghty Paris Fashion Week exists strategic slots. For a brand, closing the fashion week is a way of signifying that the marathon can end now that it has delivered its stylistic message. Usually, it’s Louis Vuitton, the most powerful in terms of sales, that takes on this role. But for this Fall-Winter 2024-2025 women’s fashion week, the schedule for the finale on March 5 was shaken up a little. In addition to Chanel in the morning and Louis Vuitton (LVMH) in the late evening, Saint Laurent (Kering) caught everyone off guard by adding a men’s show at 9 pm, thus closing the ball. These three competing brands positioning themselves on the same day have in common the use of shows to underline their position as patrons or connoisseurs of the arts. Chanel, for example, is multiplying its investments in French cinema institutions and film …
