A new chapter at Chanel
Finally, I might be a Chanel fan. Previously, as I watched Chanel shows, it felt prim and proper. Like the girls with the slicked back, perfectly in place bun. Not me. But with Mathieu Blazy’s first showing for the brand for Spring/Summer 2026 there was an ease. The tailoring was there, but it felt more…

More lavishly expensive beauty
While the internet was offended and shocked by the price of Louis Vuitton’s newest beauty products, Chanel has had a $360 lip oil all along. So of course I had to try it. I walked into Nordstrom, observing the packaging, hoping it would give me some clue to the price. “Do you want to try…

A bit Chance (eau vive)
I sprayed on Chanel Chance eau vive before heading out the house for a grand opening event. I felt it was important that I be in the room, but I dreaded it. So many people, so many I don’t know, so much anxiety bubbling up. I made my way through the crowd to an open…

Chanel, the long-term, and humans
Writing about Chanel yesterday made me curious, what actually is the vision of the company. Given the long tenure of their previous artistic directors, I had a hunch that this wasn’t a fluke but tied to their mission and vision. I came across their “Report to Society” from 2018. In it, they write that because…

Chanel’s artistic director leaves the company, but…
Virginie Viard is no longer the artistic director of Chanel. Perhaps that means nothing to you. And why should it? But think of it this way, before Viard was Karl Lagerfeld who was with the brand from 30 years. Viard had been under Lagerfeld’s tutelage before assuming the role of artistic director after his passing.…

The jury in the New York district court sided with the luxury brand on all four causes of action -trademark infringement, unfair competition, false advertising, and false association. – A key issue in this case was that Chanel alleged that WGACA sold items…
