The Fashion Week of Paris for women, which was the last show, had the Chanel Fall-Winter collection on the runway on Tuesday. The show was different from the ones we had seen before only in terms of structure and overlapping due to the fact that incoming creative director Matthieu Blazy was absent.
The venue was the Grand Palais of central Paris, where the fashion display showcase has been held for the last few years. The runway was fixed with a huge black strip that wrapped around and even reached the glass top of the building. The most important of the clothes was a jacket made of black tweed with buttons that had precious stones, which could change it from a long coat-dress into a short jacket, while a very large poplin shirt was flowing down to the ankles.
A sporty, lightweight suit of pink color was paired with a see-through jacket and a similarly colored transparent long skirt to get the outstanding second look. Also, in the proportion division, some bag styles were such that some bags looked like large pearl necklaces and pearl rings or big clutches. Moreover, small handbags were fashionable too. Virginie Viard stepped down from the directorship of the company. A quick and very silent Blazy stepped into the directorial positions as no public announcements were made about the replacement of the rightful positions. The appointment of him as the artistic director was in December, which is six months after Virginie Viard left the fashion house. His premier collection will be for the Spring-Summer 2026 Fashion Week in September. Nevertheless, only a few pieces will be auctioned at Fashion Week, and the bidding will be in the millions.
This Fashion Week was marked by the presence of the new creative directors, who were presenting themselves. Sarah Burton's first collection at Givenchy was received well and was an album that the experts ranked at the very top for the way in which she had reinterpreted the designers' heritage.
For a few months now, insiders have been disseminating information that the creative director will be gone from Italy, and with the mention of Gucci coming into play, the rumor has gained even more credibility. The fact has some proof in it because Anderson was not present at the last men's fashion shows that were held in Milan, Paris, and London.
