Chanel's New Look
It was eagerly anticipated and rarely, in the realm of fashion, had such curiosity been known. Him? The first runway show of Matthieu Blazy, the new artistic director of Chanel.
Transformed for the occasion into a grand planetarium, the nave of the Grand Palais welcomed the faithful of the house who came to witness the new breath of the Parisian maison . It stirred passions, shed tears, and was truly consecrated. Matthieu Blazy fulfilled all his promises and penned the first page of a new chapter for the house, leading it into a forthcoming era without renouncing its soul. For the codes at Chanel are precise and numerous: beige, black, white, the camellia, the double C, the masculine-feminine... Transparent tweed, tailored skirts slit for walking, men's shirts signed Charvet, feathers and frills, the famous two-tone pump revisited, and above all, a profusion of details that make Chanel's reputation, illuminated the runway. Beaming and applauding while dancing on the catwalk, top model Awar Odhiang closed the show in a burst of colorful silk and feathers, moving Matthieu Blazy to tears. /public-objects/9c71c121-7649-47ec-ab98-36331dfdd62c-32f762c6-20e4-4959-a412-7a458a9d396c-chanel_premiere_galons_interieur_01291-HD2560.webp Image sélectionnée A few days before the Chanel show, a new jewelry watch was unveiled, a fresh interpretation of the iconic Première launched in 1987. Thus, this Première Galon draws its inspiration from the couture codes of the maison and the art of the galon, a woven ribbon that has always adorned Chanel's emblematic suits. The flexible chain bracelet gives way to a rigid bangle, crafted like a twisted ribbon in 18-carat yellow gold that confidently encircles the wrist. This choice is a natural one: the galon at Chanel is never a mere ornament, it is a true element of construction. Woven, knitted, or twisted, it highlights and structures a set, whether it's a garment or a piece of jewelry. In this new timepiece creation, it becomes the very architecture of the bracelet, extending the art of couture detail that embodies Chanel's signature over time and onto the skin. The Première Galon is available in three versions: a pure gold model with an onyx cabochon, and two jewelry interpretations where diamonds set this famous galon bracelet. It is a true " lesson in style " as Arnaud Chastaingt, the director of Chanel's Watchmaking Creation Studio, puts it.
