Fashion powerhouse Chanel stacked the Paris front row like a movie premiere Tuesday, with stars from Nicole Kidman to Dua Lipa to Penélope Cruz, then handed the spotlight to its new designer, Matthieu Blazy, for his much-anticipated couture debut.

The set was a dream-garden of candy-colored trees and giant pink-and-red mushrooms: a surreal antidote to the gray January day outside, and to the even heavier mood of the world beyond the doors. Before the first look, Blazy even teased the mood with an animation film of woodland animals at work in the Chanel ateliers, “Cinderella” style: a wink that said this would be couture, but not grim.A classic skirt suit arrived as a sheer, barely-there version of itself, cut so delicately it looked like air had been tailored.Birds hovered over the collection as a guiding idea: freedom, motion, travel. Featherlike textures and flighty embroideries fluttered across silhouettes that moved like breath instead of structure. There were flashes of plumage in color and surface — at times bright, at times raven-dark — and plenty of soft, floating chiffon that made the models look as if they were gliding rather than walking.Up close, the work was meticulous: a level of handwork couture clients pay for, and ateliers live for. But the overall effect stayed easy, almost casual; as if the clothes were beautiful without demanding applause. Blazy played with the artistic technique trompe l’oeil, including a tank top-and-jeans idea reimagined in organza, and with textures that were romantic but also a little strange; couture that winked.In a brand built on total looks and strong house signatures, Blazy offered something personal: choice. Models were invited to pick symbols and messages to stitch into the clothes — a love note, a sign, a private mark. It pushed Chanel away from “uniform” and toward intimacy: couture as a wearable secret, not just a public statement.Blazy’s runways have tended to carry an open, joyful energy, and that continued here — a mix of ages, backgrounds and presences that made the clothes feel lived-in.Later she closed as a couture bride, shimmering and feathered, smiling as if she knew she was ending the scene exactly on the right note.The soundtrack shifted moods like a DJ set, moving from Disney sweetness to millennial nostalgia — including Moby’s “Porcelain,” and a mashup that blended Oasis’ “Wonderwall” with The Verve’s “Bitter Sweet Symphony.”Big sets are easy. Blazy’s debut didn’t try to overpower Chanel with noise or force a new era with aggression. Instead, he made it feel alive. Copyright 2026 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
