Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel Debut is Finally Here—Follow Along With Vogue Editors

The most eventful season in recent fashion history comes to an end today, when Matthieu Blazy shows his first-ever collection as the new creative director at Chanel. In June of last year, Virginie Viard, who had worked as Karl Lagerfeld’s right-hand woman for 25 years before becoming creative director after his passing, would be stepping down. Her departure set off a frenzied six months of gossip and speculation about just who would be named her successor, and take on one of the most important jobs in fashion. In December we learned it would be Blazy, who in a few short seasons had turned Bottega Veneta into one of the most influential brands. Now, almost 10 months later, we finally get to see what he has in store for Chanel. Join us as we unpack the new collection.

We were trying to figure out how the set related to the collection and our colleague Sam Gasmer mentioned how it related “the big bang." “It s very…. ‘In the beginning….’” she said, and I have to agree!

Chanel steps into the future — “Rhythm Is a Dancer” sets the tone. The tips of the shoes turn (even square), and the embroidery recalls Mademoiselle Chanel’s apartment. Midi skirts are paired with oversized shirts and jackets with turned-up cuffs. The bag is left open, overflowing with life. The camellia is no longer alone but joined by giant flowers, like brooches and on skirts. Matthieu knows that here, dreaming happens in only one way: on a grand scale. And the tshirt for the night, that’s a must of the season!

Details so far—Exploded flowers, shredded organzas and tweeds, weighted hems revolutionise the button down shirt- it’s all so wearable and unbelievably chic 🖤

Trompe l’œil beaded tweed suits look almost shipwrecked with the ragged hem.

Coco Chanel always wore Charvet so Matthieu collaborated with them for the shirts in the show.

And Matthieu understands—like Karl did—that Chanel is a broad church.

I m feeling Ines-era Lagerfeld for Chanel in some of the looks.
