The modern company is a privately held luxury house controlled by the Wertheimer family, not by Coco Chanel’s descendants and not by Dior or LVMH. In 2026, Leena Nair is Global CEO and Matthieu Blazy is Artistic Director of Fashion Activities. That short answer reveals why Chanel history is often muddled. There are three connected stories: Coco Chanel the designer, the couture house, and the perfume business built around Chanel No. 5. They did not always have the same…
