Matthieu Blazy grew up in Paris. His father was an art expert and his mother a historian and researcher.[2] He graduated from La Cambre fashion school in Brussels. He did his internships at Balenciaga and John Galliano.[3] Raf Simons was a member of the jury of Blazy's graduate collection and hired him on the spot.[2] Blazy brought bolder geometrical patterns to Simons' collections.[4]

In 2011, Blazy became a designer at Maison Margiela, at a time when the design team was anonymous, and where he experimented with advanced collage techniques.[5] In July 2014, Vogue's Suzy Menkes revealed Blazy after the presentation of Margiela's Artisanal collection he had designed, stating "you can't keep such a talent under wraps."[6][7] He then designed the Ye encrusted mask worn by Kanye West during the 2013 Yeezus tour.[8] In November 2014, he joined Phoebe Philo's team as senior designer of Celine working on pre-collections.[3][9] In August 2016, he was appointed design director of women's ready-to-wear of Calvin Klein.[10] He left Calvin Klein in 2019.[11]

In 2020, he became design director of ready-to-wear at Bottega Veneta. In November 2021, he was appointed creative director of Bottega Veneta to drive the brand's new chapter.[1] Blazy brought an inclusive management style ("egalitarian" according to Anne Collier[4]), shrank the design team, and got the craftspeople involved in the creative process.[12] He introduced the trompe-l'œil denim leather pants (2021),[13] the intrecciato-woven handbags Kalimero (2022)[14] and Andiamo (2023),[15] and the knitted leather sock-slippers (2023).[16] He was dubbed the "Magician of Milan" by Vanessa Friedman.[12] In September 2023, the brand opened its flagship store in Paris on avenue Montaigne, the first designed by Blazy.[17] As part of his duties, he designed the costumes of the Venice Dance Biennale.[18]
