I feel like I'm maybe not cool enough to understand Blazy's aesthetic? I don't like BV RTW currently. At this point I'd prefer Marc Jacobs to him (and yes, I know what I said earlier but that was in a vacuum).

I agree with you completely. His style is very edgy and I don't know how that will translate to chanel.
Agree with @chanellover333 and @skybluesky . I dislike BV rtw which was sad for me bc my first Chanel SA from 2001 ended up a regional manager there.
But, WWD reported that Chanel is interviewing a lot including Pieter Mulier, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Jeremy Scott and Marc Jacobs… from all those, perhaps MB has the best rounded background.
I mean Chanel DNA won’t be ignored, and VV was criticized for not being innovative enough. (I happened to like VV ) MB was a disciple of raf Simons and also has an impressive resume including alaia. So, his ironic aesthetic at BV could also be part of his brief there.
A pic from BV 2024^ I think from Financisl Times. I can see this translated into an update of the Chanel archive. So even if I am not personally fond of MB to date, I will look forward to his collections. And, of course, Chanel does have a strong in house design team
ETA:
I’m not a fan of Marc Jacob’s (mainly bc I remember his days at LV where I thought his silhouettes were Chanel inspired snd ended up reminding of Tory Burch, with LV monogram… but my recollection could be off
ETA:
I’m ignoring the fact that MB is associated with this below (pretending it just doesn’t exist lol). This kind of furnishing was definitely not at design Miami in Paris at ones of KL’s homes

I love your encyclopedic knowledge, it's always a pleasure to read your posts here! I agree that the picture from BV can definitely be translated into Chanel. I also liked VV, her fun aesthetic was what made me pay attention to Chanel as something actually wearable and she's spent most of her career (if not all) at Chanel. I'm surprised no one has been announced yet, probably in negotiations and waiting on right timing.Agree with @chanellover333 and @skybluesky .

I also picked up the same sweater (23B) as @Suesue99 and @880’s mom. It is very cropped and I will need a shirt under unless wearing high waisted pants, and even then a bit of skin shows (on me at least).

I love this combo on you and with the jeans! Very classic and it fits you perfectly, no alterations necessary!!!!
It was mesmerising. Really impressed with the set up which was atop the lake! Agree with wearability but it felt for a moment we were back in Karl’s days, dreamy and whimsical pieces of a show. Would need to see how they translate to commercial and the details/close up. With the happenings these days, a fantasy escapade is greatly needed albeit for an ephemeral moment.

@880 always envious of the sale selections where you are. I see some really good pieces which were all sold out where I am. Good choices and picks. And thank you for sharing your insights on fashion and news, really enjoy the discussions.
