His work there focused on refined, modern designs that resonated with both critics and consumers. Now, Blazy takes on the challenge of leading Chanel, a brand known for its deep history and global influence.

Blazy’s appointment continues the trend of male designers leading the industry’s most prestigious houses.

Chanel’s new direction under Blazy will be closely watched, as the brand balances its iconic legacy with the need to stay relevant in a rapidly changing industry.

Soaring Through Time and Terrain

This week, Taylor Stitch’s journal features a fascinating article on Ward Air, the Alaskan seaplane company that has been connecting people to remote wilderness for decades with its vintage fleet and skilled pilots:

Operating out of Juneau since 1974, the company has built its legacy on vintage seaplanes and the intrepid skill of those who fly them. Their fleet, which includes storied artifacts of aviation like the DeHavilland Beaver, dating from the late 1940s, echoes the rugged charm of a bygone era. Meticulously maintained and brimming with history, these aircraft offer the kind of rich character you only find in machines that have stood the test of time.

Preceded by the unmistakable roar of a nine-cylinder radial engine, these planes offer lifelines to remote cabins, fishing lodges, and glacial vistas inaccessible by road. At the controls are pilots who embody the pioneering spirit of The Final Frontier—resourceful, daring, and deeply connected to the land and sky.
