Chanel Praises Matthieu Blazy for Sparking the Charvet Marriage
Bruno Pavlovsky, president of fashion and president of Chanel SAS, put the success of Friday’s announcement that Chanel has acquired the heritage shirtmaker Charvet, squarely on the shoulders of Chanel artistic director Matthieu Blazy and the almost immediate rapport that Blazy kindled with siblings Anne-Marie and Jean-Claude Colban, who today run Charvet, bought by their father in the 1960s.
There’s major romance in this Chanel buys Charvet business story, spring-boarded by the intense love affair between Coco Chanel and Arthur ‘Boy’ Capel. As a stand-alone human relationship story between the couple, the facts are cinematic.
Like Anne before him, Matthieu Blazy knew nothing of this love story until he began going throughn the Chanel archives. Armed with the knowledge that Coco Chanel bought shirts for her lover Boy Capel at Charvet — and probably borrowed them regularly — Blazy decided to introduce himself to the famous shirtmaker, then owned by siblings Anne-Marie and Jean-Claude Colban.
Read MoreCeline's 'Riding High' Fashion Culture by Francesc Planes for British Vogue July 2026
/
Is the Fashion Joy Factor Growing in Importance?
Writer Christopher Bollen takes a walk in the gardens of the Palais-Royal — and a predictable new attitude emerges to discuss Michael Rider’s newly-found fame as artistic director of Celine. That descripter calls Rider’s Celine “joyous and (even in our current moment) wildly optimistic.”
Given the supersonic success of Chanel, is it time to take a fresh look at feelings of joy and their impact on the brain and wellbeing? It’s a sacrilege among upper crust people to speak of joy in fashion, but maybe . . . just maybe New Humanism thinking is having an impact.
Anne believes that the list of Americans in Paris, housed by LVMH and other big names in fashion, may be ruffling more than a few French media and PR feathers in fashion world. Put it this way, AOC has added that filter to the context lens through which we process fashion criticism generally and, most definitely, in Paris.

Anne Shreds & Trashes Lauren Sherman Gross Attack on Pharrell Williams
When an editor bills themselves as the definitive fashion voice of a generation, the industry expects rigorous, fact-based journalism. Instead, Lauren Sherman over at Puck News has developed a predictable, cynical but also clever habit of throwing stink bombs on Pharrell Williams, creative director of Louis Vuitton Men.
Her June 2026 "Line Sheet" briefing, titled Pharrell Inc., is a prime example. In it, Sherman attempts to paint Pharrell as a slick operator taking LVMH for a ride. In her columns, Sherman treats Pharrell’s creative output as a distraction and a sideline hustle that comes at the expense of Louis Vuitton.
It is a lazy, superficial take on Pharrell Williams that collapses under the slightest scrutiny. A closer look at the actual corporate timelines, contract structures, and cultural contexts that swirl around Pharrell’s everyday life reveals that Sherman isn't just missing the point—she is entirely failing to do the homework. Sherman deserves every stink bomb we throw right back at her — except ours contain platinum level facts and analysis. She should try using some.

Paris Café Society Embraced Bad-Ass Women, Not Our Erasure
AOC knows that it annoys the hell out of Jonathan Anderson that women like Anne keep reminding him about the facts of history in his House of Dior. He complains that we are “boxing him in”.
Not really, because it’s not about him. It’s about our erasure from Dior’s history and the expectation that we will just fall in line with his alleged, Sun King genius that calls for such erasure.
The real Cafe Society heroines were true-grit women, many of them wealthy women involved in espionage with the French resistance. Christian Dior’s sister Catherine was one of its leaders; and the designer offered her and her co-conspirators refuge in his prominently-situated apartment in Paris.
Taking a well-established historical term and innocently [or not] trading it for these lovelies enjoying giggles and milkshakes is exactly how erasure works.
