At Chanel's Spring 2027 show, model Dyanira Hurbuscher carried Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel's own quilted black leather 2.55 bag — pulled from the Maison's personal archives — both when she opened the show and when she closed it, according to AOL. AOL reports the bag showed visible wear and tear, driving home the layers of history in the house. Harper's Bazaar Singapore notes that with it came a gauzy white slip dress with a feathery rosette at the bust: one artifact preserved, one history stripped back to skin.

AOL reports the collection told the story of Gabrielle's life and evolving identity: Hurbuscher opened in a nod to the innovative jersey underwear of Chanel's founding years, visible beneath a gauzy outer layer, and closed in a black collarless smocked tweed jacket and knee-length pencil skirt referencing the relaxed tweed suits Chanel made famous after World War II. Harper's Bazaar Singapore adds corsetry appearing as shadowy boning, drop-waisted bouclé skirts, mismatched gold buttons, menswear-inspired raw-edged tailoring, and a sky-printed silk passage ending in a constellation dress on Anok Yai. Nicole Kidman read Virginia Woolf on the soundtrack, and 95 illuminated birds crossed the Grand Palais.

Harper's Bazaar Singapore argues that a year into his tenure, Blazy no longer needs to prove he understands Chanel; the more compelling question is what that understanding can unlock. Its answer: a house elastic enough to hold contradiction — old bags and new fabrics, corsets and T-shirts, grand craft and physical ease. The review highlights technical moves like a stretch "smocked tweed" that behaves like performance wear and a yellow knit two-piece where embroidery is part of the knit itself. AOL frames the 2.55 moment as reverence for the founder while simultaneously ushering the brand into the future — fashion that changes because women do.
