Dua Lipa's connection to Matthieu Blazy

Dua Lipa has a strong relationship with Belgian designer Matthieu Blazy, who is known for his creative direction at the French house. Blazy has designed several of her outfits, including a custom wedding dress and various appearances.

Recent public appearance in New York

On Thursday, October 29, Dua Lipa was spotted in New York wearing a black and white suit designed by Matthieu Blazy. She accessorized it with a black headpiece, diamond earrings from Bvlgari, and a unique glass and metal bead bracelet worn on her ankle.

Chanel's legacy with beads

The glass and metal beads have long been a signature element for Chanel, known for their timeless design. These beads have now been reimagined by Blazy, who is continuing their evolution in modern fashion.

Reinventing the preppy look

Traditionally linked to a preppy, bourgeois aesthetic, the beads are being used in more daring and unconventional ways. Blazy's designs challenge the conventional use of such accessories, moving them away from classic, elegant necklaces.

Continuing Chanel's vision

Since taking the helm at the French house, Blazy has continued the legacy of Gabrielle Chanel, who in the 1920s used pearls as a symbol of freedom and fantasy. Blazy's work reflects this ongoing democratization of style and fashion.
