Matthieu Blazy's Chanel Debut Was Out of This World
Attended by the likes of Jennie and Margot Robbie, the moment the fashion world has been waiting for, finally happened.
It finally happened. The moment that all of fashion has been waiting for: Matthieu Blazy‘s debut for Chanel. Presented at the Grand Palais, the showcase immediately felt otherworldly, and that’s only partly because it was backdropped by several glowing planets.
Attended by a star-studded guest list of supporters, including BLACKPINK‘s Jennie, Margot Robbie, Lily-Rose Depp, Kendall Jenner and newly-appointed house ambassadors, Ayo Edebiri and Nicole Kidman, the highly-anticipated show closed out the penultimate day of Paris Fashion Week, and the Spring/Summer 2026 season.

Across over 70 looks, Blazy’s debut was heritage-inspired, texture-focused and above all else: incredibly joyful. Seemingly focused on the way that clothes actually move when you wear them, the result was a masterclass in tactility and fabric manipulation.
Following the debut, Blazy’s show notes read: “Chanel is about love. The birth of Modernity in fashion comes from a love story. This is what I find most beautiful. It has no time or space; this is an idea of freedom. The freedom worn and won by Gabrielle Chanel.”
Reimagining house signatures like tailoring and tweed for a new audience, the classics were interspersed by playful gowns, vibrant colors and a worn-in feel. Clothes designed to be worn and loved.
