"In a mirrored salon jutting like a promontory into the Biarritz ocean, Matthieu Blazy presented his first ever cruise collection for Chanel, literally framed by the sea. Cruise connects innately to Chanel's heritage, as it was in Biarritz that Gabrielle Chanel made her first haute couture clothes."
"The first look was a little black dress, crissed with topstitching, fittingly a throwback to 1926 and the style Vogue dubbed 'Chanel's Ford'. Blazy had reproduced a lost design from the 1920s, showcasing the double-C logo at each hip before breaking into pleats."
"We call them blasts from the past. They are things that are so, so good, you don't need to do anything. Blazy's collection reflects a modern ease influenced by the leisurely, thrill-seeking clothes of Chanel's early days."
Matthieu Blazy presented his inaugural cruise collection for Chanel in Biarritz, a location significant to Gabrielle Chanel's fashion beginnings.

Key pieces include a little black dress reminiscent of 1926 and a skirt inspired by 1920s sketches.
