Chanel appoints designer Matthieu Blazy as new artistic director

Associated Press  

PARIS — 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 announced Thursday. 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 marks only the fourth designer in Chanel’s over 100-year history to lead the house, following Lagerfeld, Viard, and founder Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel. Chanel’s Global Executive Chairman Alain Wertheimer and CEO Leena Nair described Blazy as “one of the most gifted designers of his generation.”
