on the RUNWAY

Matthieu Blazy’s Spring/Summer 2027 Ready-to-Wear collection for CHANEL was a spectacular feat of 83 looks. The collection imagined Gabrielle Chanel through the many identities she inhabited throughout her life. Rather than focusing on a single period or familiar House code, Blazy considers Chanel as a woman who was constantly evolving.

For CHANEL’s Fall-Winter 2026/27 Haute Couture collection, Matthieu Blazy drew inspiration from classic fairy tales like Goldilocks, Jack and the Beanstalk, Swan Lake, Puss in Boots and The Wizard of Oz, setting the stage with massive green vines and a rainbow of exotic colourful flowers, as if Jack’s magic beanstalk had burst through the Grand Palais ceiling. It was theatrical without being frivolous. It was Blazy.
