Snaking traffic, screaming crowds, and a crush of photographers descended on the Grand Palais on Tuesday as Chanel unveiled its latest show before Matthieu Blazy's debut as creative director in the fall. Kylie Jenner led a constellation of stars, seated atop two giant interlocking C's raised like a bridge – perhaps a metaphor for the house's transition to its bold new chapter.
Critics expecting an underwhelming, designer-less show were swiftly proven wrong. Chanel's studio punched above its weight, delivering a collection of striking hues and diverse designs showcasing its couture ateliers' unrivaled artistry.
