One of the most prestigious roles in global fashion has just been filled, as Chanel appointed Franco-Belgian designer Matthieu Blazy as its new artistic director, the fashion house has announced.
The 40-year-old will oversee all collections for the world's second biggest luxury brand starting in 2025, replacing Virginie Viard, who parted ways with the house earlier this year.
Blazy arrives with a reputation for innovation and craftsmanship, honed through stints at Raf Simons, Maison Margiela and Cline under Phoebe Philo. Most recently, he was creative director at Bottega Veneta.
Chanel President Bruno Pavlovsky praised his audacious and powerful approach, adding that Blazy would play with the codes and heritage of the House to take it in exciting new directions.
I am thrilled and honored," said Blazy.
Critics have noted that Blazy's relatively young age suggests Chanel may be positioning him for a long tenure, akin to the 36 years Karl Lagerfeld spent at the helm. His appointment

SpaceX is launching a new mission: making its Starbase site a new Texas city.
Billionaire Elon Musk's company on Thursday sent a letter to local officials requesting an election to turn what it calls Starbase  the South Texas site where SpaceX builds and launches its massive Starship rockets  into an incorporated city.

That is why we are requesting that Cameron County call an election to enable the incorporation of Starbase as the newest city in the Rio Grande Valley, Kathryn Lueders, the general manager of Starbase, wrote in a letter to th

The State Department said on Monday it is not actively reviewing the foreign terrorist organisation designation of the main Syrian rebel group that overthrew Bashar Assad's government this weekend. But, it said such designations are constantly under review, and that even while it's in place, the label does not bar US officials from speaking with the group.

The designation imposes numerous sanctions against those targeted, including a ban on the provision of material support to such groups, although Miller said that would not necessarily ...
