Bhavitha Mandava Is Chanel's Newest Ambassador
After making history at Blazy’s debut for the house last year.
After Indian model Bhavitha Mandava made history at Matthieu Blazy’s debut Chanel show last year, she’s finally been named as an official ambassador of the house. Making her debut for the brand’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Mandava’s story is nothing short of inspiring and already, we can’t wait to see where this goes.
She was first discovered by chance in New York City, not long after graduating from NYU and in the last year, she’s become a huge part of the Chanel family.
“Since we met, Bhavitha has never ceased to amaze me. Smart, down-to-earth, she emanates a sense of deep joy. We are happy she will be part of this chapter with us at CHANEL,” said Blazy in the official announcement.
“CHANEL has long stood as a symbol of the modern working woman in motion, a spirit I deeply resonate with and am proud to embody. Matthieu’s vision for the house brings a genuine sense of joy, thoughtfully balanced with reverence for its legacy. I’m truly honoured to be part of this new chapter at CHANEL and to join as an ambassador for a House that holds a special place in my heart,” Mandava added.
