Bottega Veneta’s announcement that it has appointed Louise Trotter as its new creative director, replacing Belgian designer Matthieu Blazy, almost coincided with an announcement from Chanel that Mr Blazy is to become the artistic director for its fashion business. By Leatherbiz.
Chanel has explained that Mr Blazy will join it in 2025 and will take responsibility for all of its accessories, haute couture and ready-to-wear collections.
The company’s chief executive, Leena Nair, described Matthieu Blazy as “one of the most gifted designers of his generation”. She said his vision and talent would “reinforce the energy of the brand”.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
