The Coco Chanel Effect

Chanel pulled off a stunning finale at Paris Fashion Week, wrapping itself up like the ultimate gift for the It-girl—though this wasn’t just
any delicate silk bow. No, Chanel embraced an industrial chic vibe, sending a clear message: this brand is all about elegance that’s built to last. But here’s the kicker: Chanel has been sailing without a creative leader for almost a year, with Matthieu Blazy named Artistic
Director of Fashion in December 2024. He will officially take over next month and release his first collection in October 2025.
This season’s collection, crafted by a studio without a designer, plays it safe, sticking closely to the legacy of a woman who’s been gone for over fifty years. Coco Chanel, forever remembered in her sharp suit, pearls, and that iconic boater hat, continues to be fashion’s
timeless ghostwriter. And yet, she continues to hold her iconic status. Here's a look at some of the pieces from the collection…

A bold plaid shirt in a rich array of colours paired with wide-legged tweed pants creates a dynamic ensemble. A statement pearl necklace and belt complete the look.
