While the Grand Palais in Paris may seem a world away from Tomball , the influence of high fashion can be felt in the local community. Residents of Tomball who follow fashion trends may be interested in the direction Chanel is taking under designer Matthieu Blazy. The use of fairy tale elements in his latest couture show could inspire local designers and boutiques to incorporate similar themes into their own work. Additionally, the emphasis on creating clothes that women can actually live in could resonate with the practical and down-to-earth approach to fashion often seen in Tomball. As the city's own fashion scene continues to grow, it will be interesting to see if any local designers take cues from Blazy's approach and incorporate similar elements into their own designs, making high fashion more accessible to the everyday woman in Tomball.
