Chanel’s Paris show harked back to brand’s first boutique, while JW Anderson pivots to lifestyle and homewares

There was no designer to take a bow after Chanel in Paris, but the creative director, Matthieu Blazy – whose first show will take place in October – had already been at the sketchbook. “It is not his collection – but it is not happening without him either,” said Bruno Pavlovsky, the president of fashion at Chanel, before the show. “You will see his touch.”

Inside the Grand Palais sat fashion’s favourite popstars, Lorde and Gracie Abrams, alongside Anna Wintour, who recently announced she was stepping back from her editor-in-chief role at American Vogue. But instead of Karl Lagerfeld’s elaborate Warholian sets, the show space had been transformed into a salon based on Chanel’s first boutique, with butterscotch carpets and floor-to-ceiling mirrors.
