Chanel Turns the Grand Palais Into a Dark Fairy Tale for Matthieu Blazy’s 2nd Couture Show
Blazy turned Chanel icons into a fairy tale collection, ending with a little black dress instead of the house’s traditional bridal finale.
- On Tuesday morning in Paris, designer Matthieu Blazy unveiled his latest Chanel couture collection inside the Grand Palais, transforming the venue into a surreal garden with life-sized vines and fauna.
- Blazy drew inspiration after discovering a book of fairy tales in Gabrielle Chanel's original apartment library, noting parallels between 'Jack and the Beanstalk' and her historic climb upward in fashion.
- Accessories took a bric-a-brac approach with metallic minaudières and transparent pumps embellished with gold-leaf and bean-shaped pearl heels. The runway featured frayed scarecrow-inspired looks and sheer tweed skirt suits with exposed raw edges.
- Breaking with tradition, Blazy bucked Chanel convention by placing the bride mid-runway rather than closing with her, instead giving the final word to a classic little black dress.
- Blazy explained the collection aims to capture "the adventure of the everyday," reflecting life's realities like picking up children or going to work, not just serving as a pretty dress on a runway.
