In the last few seasons, Matthieu Blazy has taken us on a world tour of sorts, combining influences from all over the globe and bringing us stunning collections designed to the max. Where the last few collections have been all about the details, perfect for the maximalists among us, this season, Blazy designed for the everyday.
Don’t let that pragmatic design approach fool you. Fall 2024 is anything but minimal. However, this season, embellishments are kept to a minimum. Instead, a purposeful plainness is explored throughout the collection, and silhouettes from various eras are reinvented.
Clothes are stylish yet simplified, designed for people with somewhere to go and something to do. The bags themselves echo that same sentiment, meant to ooze a sense of inheritance. Think a stunning croc Cabat from your grandmother or a clutch near and dear to your mother.
Accessories are meant to hold meaning, transcending generations and able to stand the test of time. Silhouettes presented include new and old favorites, like the Cabat, the Hop, and Andiamo, alongside new bags like the Liberta. Big bags continue to reign, and classic details lend an archival feel with a modern appeal.
“We all watch the same news. It is hard to be celebratory at this point. Still, the idea of rebirth is beautiful, too. These are the flowers that bloom after the earth is burnt – they give a sense of hope. They come back stronger than ever. Here, elegance is resilience.” Matthieu Blazy
