PARIS — Paris Fashion Week concluded its Spring/Summer 2027 women's ready-to-wear season on Sunday with Chanel presenting a closely watched collection from new creative director Matthieu Blazy. The nine-day calendar drew buyers, editors and celebrities across the French capital.

Blazy, who previously led Bottega Veneta, was appointed to Chanel following the departure of Virginie Viard. The Sunday show marked one of the most anticipated debuts of a season already shaped by leadership changes at Dior and Balenciaga.

Chanel traditionally stages its shows at the Grand Palais. Industry publications including WWD and Vogue Business had flagged the Blazy debut as the season's defining moment.

The conclusion of Paris caps a global fashion month that ran through New York, London, Milan and Paris. Retailers and analysts at firms such as Bernstein watched the collections for signals on consumer demand as the luxury sector navigated softer sales in key markets.

A Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode spokesperson said ahead of the show: "All eyes are on how Blazy interprets the codes of the house," describing the debut as a pivotal moment for the season.
