The creative director emphasized that fashion centers on everyday adventures rather than just red-carpet appearances.
To illustrate this concept, the collection featured jacket linings hand-embroidered by the house of Lesage on yellow silk to resemble Post-it notes with daily shopping lists.

Beyond the theatrical elements, the collection highlighted broader fashion shifts. Sheer layers emerged as a dominant style, featuring visible knickers and bra tops worn beneath semi-transparent fabrics.
The silhouette shifted toward fluid skirts paired with billowing, untucked blouses.
The collection also introduced pastel shades of lilac and mint, offering a contrast to the minimal neutrals of previous seasons.
These design directions mirrored elements observed on the Dior haute couture runway.
Chanel President of Fashion Bruno Pavlovsky praised the presentation, highlighting the deep narrative elements behind the collection.
The brand has seen strong commercial demand following Blazy's appointment, particularly for the new, slouchier 25 bag.
Strategic Business Focus
Pavlovsky stated that the current focus for the fashion house involves recruiting and training the expanding workforce within the Chanel ateliers.
Despite acquiring the Parisian shirtmakers Charvet, the executive confirmed that Chanel has no plans to enter the menswear market.
"We are not dressing men. We are not in hospitality; we are not opening Chanel restaurants.
We are not trying to compete with Vuitton. We are not listed; we don’t have the pressure to do everything.
Everything we do is about fashion for women," Pavlovsky said.
