The much-anticipated conclusion to one of the most exciting seasons in contemporary fashion arrives today, with Matthieu Blazy presenting his inaugural collection as Chanel’s new creative director. Following the announcement in June of last year regarding Virginie Viard, who served tirelessly alongside Karl Lagerfeld for a quarter-century before assuming the role after his death, there ensued a whirlwind of speculation about her replacement. The anticipation culminated in December with the reveal of Blazy, who had rapidly established Bottega Veneta as a major player in fashion. Fast forward nearly ten months, and we are on the edge of our seats to witness what he has designed for Chanel. Join us as we explore the latest collection.
GRAND BOW!

Shall we dance? Perhaps the planets will transform into disco balls!
