The Elordi era
Chanel ushers in the next chapter of Bleu de Chanel with a new face — Australian actor Jacob Elordi, who fronts the campaign film for Bleu de Chanel L’Exclusif. Rising to fame with his pop-culture-shifting roles in Euphoria, Saltburn and Frankenstein, Elordi’s magnetism embodies the scent’s addictive composition.
Created as the “ultimate expression of Bleu de Chanel”, this iteration captures a sense of modern masculinity with an artfully blended, amber-woody scent profile with notes of Maré Island sandalwood and cistus labdanum.
Trend to watch: Slick control
As seen at Dolce & Gabbana, Qasimi, Saul Nash, Pronounce and Dhruv Kapoor.
The runways bid farewell to messy hair and rugged masculinity in favour of a polished, modern dandyism, with hair sharpened and slicked back. Models were sent out with hair styles that looked as though they were taken straight out of F Scott Fitzgerald’s imagination, with precision styling and sculpted side parts that Jay Gatsby would be proud of. Wet-look finishes mixed 1920s elegance with 1990s cool — think gelled slick-back textures styled with intention, old sport.
Fire & Ice
Narciso Rodriguez explores masculine duality in this woody-musky profile with notes of sandalwood, clary sage, musk and juniper.
