Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel Haute Couture debut transported showgoers to a fairytale garden, complete with giant mushrooms and blush-pink weeping willows. Nature permeated every aspect of the show – down to the models’ bespoke manicures. The nails were overseen by session manicurist Ama Quashie, who tells British Vogue that, initially, the plan was for models’ nails to be “clean, perfect and bare”. But Blazy ultimately pivoted, and decided that a bespoke nail design should accompany the collection. Quashie describes how the shade was undercut with “washes of iridescence”, to mimic the space between feathers.
