Matthieu Blazy set to present his anticipated second collection for Chanel

Paris - Following a successful second show by Jonathan Anderson for Dior_ it is Matthieu Blazy's turn at Chanel to overcome the 'second show' hurdle. The show will take place this Monday at Paris Fashion Week_ where the Franco-Belgian designer's collection is one of the most anticipated.

Anderson dazzled last Tuesday_ on the second day of Paris Fashion Week dedicated to autumn/winter 2026/27 womenswear. He presented his floral proposals for Dior in a show at the Tuileries Garden.

Following this acclaimed second womenswear collection from the former artistic director of Loewe_ all eyes are on another emblematic French brand_ Chanel. Its show is scheduled for this Monday at 7pm at the Grand Palais_ as is customary.

“Bold_ superb and curiously daring_” said FashionNetwork of the first collection Blazy presented in October_ having recently arrived from Bottega Veneta. His Haute Couture line_ at the end of January_ was described as “masterful” by Madame Figaro magazine.

For Jeanne Le Bault_ fashion editor-in-chief of Marie-Claire magazine_ “there was a real continuity between the first women's prêt-à-porter show and the haute couture.”

Blazy proposes “spectacular pieces that are almost Haute Couture and that remain very faithful to the house's narrative_” says Pierre Groppo_ fashion and lifestyle editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair France.

According to the journalist_ the most interesting thing about his first show in October was “the shirt taken from the men's wardrobe; the work on materials; the volumes; the idea of movement...”

This Monday_ Uruguayan Gabriela Hearst will also bring her new collection to Paris. The designs of this stylist_ a former designer for Chloé_ are based on the concept of sustainable luxury. The fabrics are often made from leftover materials from previous seasons.
