3. SOUNDBITE (English) Thomas Adamson, The Associated Press:
"It could be called a grand bow to the future. Inside the majestic Grand Palais, Chanel’s full show unfolded beneath a giant black, swirling ribbon – a striking centerpiece that nearly scraped the top of the massive atrium. This wasn’t just any bow. It was a bold, sculptural statement, setting the stage for a collection that reveled in lightness, embellishment and nostalgia, all the while looking ahead to the upcoming debut of Matthieu Blazy in the fall. Bows and ribbons were everywhere: delicate scarves, intricate beading and soft embellishments that fluttered as models moved, while Chanel’s atelier played here with texture and form, balancing softness with structure, romance with precision. But it was one accessory that stole the show: a giant, exploded pearl handbag appearing across multiple looks and drawing instant buzz. Among the monochromatic elegance, there were flashes of color, let’s say hints of Chanel’s more flamboyant past, evoking the high energy collections of the late, great Karl Lagerfeld. This collection struck a balance between classic refinement and modern playfulness; a love letter to Chanel’s clothes, with a whisper of reinvention on the horizon. Applause filled the Grand Palais atrium as the show wrapped, all this cementing Chanel’s ability to captivate across generations."
