Paris Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2027 Opens With Stretch Tweed at Chanel
Chanel introduced a collection anchored by smocked tweed that stretches like sportswear as designer Matthieu Blazy showed his spring-summer 2027 collection on Monday night, according to nbcnews.com. Staged at the Grand Palais beneath illuminated birds, the spring-summer 2027 show marked Blazy’s first anniversary at the historic fashion house, where he succeeded Virginie Viard following her tenure that drove record sales.
Front-Row Stars and Literary Readings Set the Scene
Celebrity presence defined the front row as Nicole Kidman, Dua Lipa, and Pedro Pascal watched models navigate the runway. Kidman attended alongside her daughter Faith Margaret and contributed recorded readings from Virginia Woolf’s novel “Orlando.” The evening concluded with guests singing along to a-ha’s “Take On Me” before Britney Spears’ “Gimme More” played as the final track.
Matthieu Blazy Revises Chanel Codes for Modern Movement
Blazy’s debut collection last year focused on surprising updates of familiar house symbols rather than a complete overhaul. This season, he loosened Edwardian boning, peplums, and ruffled collars, alongside men’s formal wear cut down into raw-edged vests and narrow skirt suits. Model Dyanira Hurbuscher opened and closed the show carrying founder Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s 2.55 handbag from the house archives.
Louis Vuitton Closes Paris Fashion Week With Soft Tailoring
Louis Vuitton concluded the spring runway season on Tuesday evening at the Louvre Museum with a show featuring Zendaya, Emma Stone, Saoirse Ronan, and Blackpink’s Lisa in the audience. Nicolas Ghesquière softened his typically futuristic silhouettes by introducing gauzy shift dresses, cardigans, short jackets, and sheer mesh panels on slim trousers. The collection materialized on an asphalt runway crossing the Cour Carrée beneath wedge-shaped concept cars elevated on poles.
Broader Shifts Across Paris Runways Toward Ease and Lingerie
Other major houses echoed the push for functional mobility and lighter decoration throughout Paris Fashion Week. Miuccia Prada paired pleated check skirts with running shorts and track tops at Miu Miu, while Chitose Abe incorporated swinging fringe on biker leathers and silk tassels on military jackets at Sacai. Elie Saab leaned into early 2000s nostalgia with beaded slips and lace bralettes observed by Paris and Nicky Hilton.
