Overview
- Chanel held two presentations at Barangaroo in Sydney as the brand’s first runway activations on Australian soil, using seaside choreography to echo the collection’s oceanic references.
- Australian icons Kylie Minogue and Cathy Freeman and model Mia Hewitt attended the daytime show, while Margot Robbie, Nicole Kidman and Jacob Elordi were reported as expected front‑row guests for the evening presentation.
- The house ran related private events, including a gathering at Shelly Beach in Manly and a pre‑show at The Hermitage hosted by Justin Hemmes, which preceded the Barangaroo presentations.
- Guests received handwritten invitation packages that included a silver clamshell necklace engraved with the Sydney show’s name as a themed keepsake tied to the collection.
- Chanel framed the shows as a local extension of Blazy’s recent runway momentum—rooted in Biarritz and earlier Paris innovations—to boost press attention and commercial interest across the Asia‑Pacific market.
