<p data-start="296" data-end="549" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">The opening look of the show was a guipure lace gown, evoking the idea of magical beanstalks, layered with sheer silk chiffon. The model also carried a copy of&nbsp;<em data-start="456" data-end="485">Les Fées, Contes des Contes</em>, a treasured book from <strong data-start="509" data-end="531">Gabrielle Chanel’s</strong> personal library.<br><br>“I began to wonder: was Gabrielle Chanel’s life a fairy tale? I found a small book in her library, <em data-start="101" data-end="130">Les Fées, Contes des Contes</em>, and asked myself whether, together with the Haute Couture ateliers, we could create garments that tell stories the way a book does,” reflected <strong data-start="275" data-end="293">Matthieu Blazy</strong>.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The magic of fairy tales extended beyond the salon—filled with lush plants and vibrant flowers—and was woven into the details of the collection itself. Pea-shaped buttons, heels adorned with fantastical characters, and animal-shaped handbags brought a sense of whimsy to the designs. These were vibrant creations, conceived to move with the body and accompany the wearer in action.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Matthieu Blazy reinterpreted CHANEL's signature codes—including chains, tweed, and pearls—with a more colorful, iridescent, and playful spirit. “CHANEL Haute Couture is not just a fairy tale; above all, it exists for women—for their realities and the adventures of their everyday lives,” the designer explained.</p>
