Nicole Kidman and Dua Lipa watch Chanel’s creative revival at Paris Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week witnessed Chanel's creative revival under the direction of Matthieu Blazy. The artistic director showcased a spring-summer 2027 collection that blended sportswear elements with traditional eveningwear, featuring Nicole Kidman, Dua Lipa, and Pedro Pascal among the audience. Blazy's vision aimed to restore a sense of unpredictability to the iconic fashion house while preserving its heritage.

The designer introduced a new "smocked tweed" fabric that stretched and moved with ease, offering a modern twist to a classic Chanel garment. The collection also featured ruffled collars, peplums, and shortened skirts, highlighting the tension between constraint and ease. The final look, carried by model Dyanira Hurbuscher, showcased Gabrielle Chanel's signature 2.55 handbag, symbolizing the balance between continuity and change that Blazy's revitalization of Chanel relies on.
