“The Lightest Couture Show Ever”: First Reactions to Matthieu Blazy’s Couture Debut at Chanel

Matthieu Blazy’s debut couture show at Chanel featured inclusive casting and two shows with 750 guests each, blending heritage and modern music.

  • Matthieu Blazy presented his couture debut for Chanel across two back-to-back shows attended by 750 guests each, with a star-filled front row including Penélope Cruz, Charlotte Casiraghi, Vanessa Paradis, Nicole Kidman, and A$AP Rocky.
  • Grounded in Gabrielle Chanel's approach, Bruno Pavlovsky, president of fashion and Chanel SAS, said Blazy builds on those foundations and uses couture as a field for experimentation.
  • The show's soundtrack featured millennial anthems mixed by Michel Gaubert and Fabien Leclercq, while Matthieu Blazy said the music should feel melancholic yet optimistic, hoping the moment `is not like a boom, boom, boom, but like a breath`.
  • The show's casting emphasized mature models and closed with Indian model Bhavitha Mandava, reflecting Matthieu Blazy's push for broader representation through new couture techniques.
  • Chanel signaled that the house expects a transitional year of growth, relying on five haute couture ateliers and the 12 maisons d'art at Le 19M, its Aubervilliers headquarters.
