"After a month of shows, after quantities of clothes glimpsed so fleetingly that they had started to blur together like a landscape seen through a train window, a stop, and also the most remarkable of starts. The debut of Matthieu Blazy at Chanel on Monday night, the first true caesura at the house in over four decades, achieved something remarkable."
"It gave pause. It created space. And even, momentarily, before the unanimous plaudits began, it evoked silence. As befitted the galaxy-like mise en scène of the show itself, in the Grand Palais in Paris, the 41-year-old French-Belgian's clothes - his vision - seemed to change the very atmosphere within the room. Certainly the front row seemed to be breathing different air to usual; it quickly grew heady with the oxygen of it all."
Matthieu Blazy's debut at Chanel produced a striking pause in the fashion calendar. The collection created space and even a momentary silence among attendees. Blazy presented tweed suiting that returned easefulness to a Coco Chanel innovation while adding a 21st-century slouch. Evening skirts combined flamenco drama with Cinderella glamour. The front row reacted as if breathing different air; the atmosphere quickly grew heady. A consensus of admiration emerged, with attendees calling Blazy a genius. The show took place in the Grand Palais in Paris and marked the first true caesura at the house in over four decades.
