Chanel has officially named Matthieu Blazy as its new Creative Director, marking a significant transition for the storied fashion house. Blazy, formerly the Creative Director at Bottega Veneta, is set to bring his distinctive vision and innovative approach to Chanel, promising to blend the brand’s timeless elegance with contemporary design.

NEWS

Blazy’s appointment follows a period of intense speculation within the fashion industry, solidifying his position as the ideal successor to Virginie Viard. With a career spanning prestigious brands such as Raf Simons, Calvin Klein, Maison Margiela, and Celine, Blazy has established himself as a visionary in the luxury fashion sector. His tenure at Bottega Veneta was particularly noteworthy, where he revitalized the brand with his sophisticated and mature aesthetic, earning acclaim for his ability to merge haute craftsmanship with modern sophistication.

I am thrilled and honoured to join the wonderful House of CHANEL. I look forward to meeting all the teams and writing this new chapter together. – said Matthieu Blazy.

Chanel, founded in 1910 by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, is renowned for its iconic tweed suits, quilted handbags, and the legendary No.5 perfume. As the fourth Creative Director in the brand’s 114-year history, Blazy will oversee all haute couture, ready-to-wear, and accessories collections. His leadership is expected to infuse Chanel with fresh perspectives while honoring its rich heritage.

Blazy’s transition to Chanel is scheduled for early 2025, with his first collection anticipated to debut in October. Over his three-year leadership at Bottega Veneta, Blazy successfully elevated the brand’s profile, attracting high-profile celebrities and fashion enthusiasts alike. His designs, including the Kalimero, Andiamo, and Sardine handbags, became symbols of understated luxury and innovative design, reflecting his ability to create pieces that resonate on both aesthetic and functional levels.

Under Blazy’s direction, Chanel aims to continue its legacy of excellence while exploring new creative avenues. The French house plans to release ten collections annually, encompassing two haute couture lines, six ready-to-wear collections, and two tactical lines, Coco Beach and Coco Neige. This comprehensive approach underscores Chanel’s commitment to maintaining its leadership in the luxury fashion market.

I am delighted to welcome Matthieu Blazy. I am convinced that he will be able to play with the codes and heritage of the House, through an ongoing dialogue with the Studio, our Ateliers, and our Maisons d’art. His audacious personality, his innovative and powerful approach to Creation, as well as his dedication to craftsmanship and beautiful materials, will take CHANEL in exciting new directions. – Bruno Pavlovsky, President of CHANEL Fashion and Chanel SAS.

Blazy’s appointment also signifies Chanel’s strategic move to embrace new talent and modernity. By selecting an external candidate for the top creative role for the first time since Karl Lagerfeld’s legendary 36-year tenure, Chanel demonstrates its dedication to evolving and staying relevant in a rapidly changing fashion landscape. Blazy’s ability to balance tradition with contemporary design aligns perfectly with Chanel’s vision of innovation without losing its quintessential identity.

Chanel continues to thrive in the global luxury market, with record revenues and an expanding international presence. The brand’s resilience and adaptability, coupled with Blazy’s creative prowess, position Chanel to navigate the evolving fashion landscape with renewed vigor and sophistication.

As Chanel embarks on this new chapter, the fashion world eagerly anticipates how Matthieu Blazy will shape the future of one of the most prestigious houses in haute couture. His leadership is expected to blend Chanel’s timeless elegance with a modern flair, ensuring the brand remains at the forefront of luxury fashion for years to come.
