The hottest job in fashion has finally been filled. After six months without an artistic director, Chanel, the second-largest luxury fashion brand in the world and the only couture house in the top three, has named a new designer: Matthieu Blazy.
Most recently the man behind Bottega Veneta, Blazy will be in charge of all fashion, couture and accessories for Chanel, creating 10 collections a year.
