Legendary French fashion house Chanel allegedly ha

Legendary French fashion house Chanel allegedly has selected Matthieu Blazy as its next creative director. Blazy is currently the creative director for Bottega Veneta, a role he's held since 2017.

The rumor was first divulged in mid-November by WWD, which reported that the label plans to reveal former creative director Virginine Viard's successor in mid-December.

The news recently was confirmed by Puck New reporter Lauren Sherman who added that Chanel would make the official announcement on December 16th. Sherman also noted that Carven designer Louise Trotter will likely take over Blazy's role at Bottega Veneta, part of a house of brands held by Kering Group.

Since Viard departed her role as lead creative in June, Chanel is said to have interviewed Pieter Mulier, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Jeremy Scott, Simon Porte Jacquemus and Marc Jacobs for the role.

Born in Paris, the 40-year-old Blazy is a graduate of La Cambre in Brussels. While in school, he interned at Balenciaga and John Galliano and began his career as a menswear designer for Raf Simons.

In 2011, he brought his talents to Maison Margiela where he was known to have designed the crystal mask worn by Ye during the 2013 Yeezus tour. He joined Celine under Phoebe Philo's direction in 2014 and was eventually appointed senior designer of pre-collections.

When Simons was tapped as creative director of Calvin Klein in 2016, Blazy joined his team in New York and was appointed design director of women's ready-to-wear, a role he held until 2019.

In 2020, Blazy was appointed design director of ready-to-wear at Bottega Veneta. Two weeks prior to an ugly falling out between Bottega Veneta creative director Daniel Lee and the company, Blazy quit his role. After Lee was let go, Blazy returned to the label and was announced as creative director in November 2021.

So I hope that by watching me live my dream, it gives you the audacity to be wildly magnificent."

Doechii has also earned three Grammy nominations, including Best Rap Album for Alligator Bites Never Heal, Best Rap Performance for NISSAN ALTIMA, and Best New Artist.
