Chanel<\/a> maternitywear? It goes without saying that a lot of mothers-to-be would happily yelp, \u201cYes, please!\u201d\u2014and it appears that Matthieu Blazy is happy to provide.<\/p>\nAt least that\u2019s exactly how it played out this afternoon when New Jersey\u2013born, Norway-based model, musician, actor, and first-time mother Kaya Wilkins walked Chanel\u2019s resort 2027 runway show, accessorizing her black-and-white tweed suit with a second-trimester belly in full view. \u201cI only got the call a few days ago and was quite surprised as I\u2019m five months pregnant,\u201d Wilkins tells Vogue<\/em> just a few hours after stepping off the runway. \u201cMatthieu and Anita [Bitton], the casting director, were looking for someone pregnant, so I was quite lucky to have a little bump on me.\u201d<\/p>\nWilkins went on to explain that her agents were \u201cquite chuffed\u201d by the casting and that the Chanel team made the experience of walking in her first show for the brand\u2014complete with her own \u201cworld\u2019s youngest runway model\u201d\u2014all the more enjoyable. \u201cI just had a really nice experience being around a lot of creative, really chill people, to be honest,\u201d she says. She does add that the tasty backstage catering certainly didn\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/assets.vogue.com\/photos\/69f10af38b1c6f295f1c9b84\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/2273553521\"\/)

The styling only completed the vision. (See the adorable children\u2019s shoes strapped onto the chain of the accompanying bag.) Overlooking France\u2019s southwestern coastline, you could already picture a family\u2019s sandy walk on the beach, with barefoot kids and Mary Jane slippers in tow. (Fashion\u2019s best-dressed dad, A$AP Rocky, was seen in the audience posing with his own distressed pink flap bag and matching miniature shoes.)<\/p>\n
So was it comfortable? \u201cOh God, it was amazing,\u201d Wilkins says. As of right now, her personal style is down to her last two pairs of trousers. Sporting a classic tweed from Blazy\u2019s Chanel was a welcome change, with the gothic coastal bride being her other favorite look. \u201cI\u2019m not galumphing around with my bump out, so it was cool,\u201d she adds. \u201cIt felt quite freeing to have my flowing hair and the bump.\u201d<\/p>\n
Beyond that, the setting of today\u2019s Biarritz runway show was of particular significance for another reason: It is where Coco Chanel opened her very first haute couture boutique over a century ago. So Blazy\u2019s decision to show his debut resort collection for the brand there was both a nod to that history and a homecoming. The collection, meanwhile, was in line with what we\u2019ve seen from Blazy\u2019s Chanel thus far: deeply rooted in the brand\u2019s rich archives, where he digs around before giving his references a kooky, crafty, modern remix.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
