Chanel Names Bhavitha Mandava as House Ambassador<\/strong>
\nChanel<\/a> has tapped Bhavitha Mandava<\/a> as a house ambassador, cementing her as an official muse of creative director Matthieu Blazy.<\/a> Mandava was an exclusive at Chanel’s S\/S 26 show <\/a> and made history as the first Indian model to open a Chanel show, which she did for the M\u00e9tiers d\u2019Art collection<\/a> in New York City last December & she most recently closed Blazy’s first ever Spring couture show<\/a>. Mandava was studying for a master\u2019s degree in integrated design and media at New York University\u2019s Tandon School of Engineering when she was scouted on the subway by 28Models<\/a>. Two weeks later, she walked the runway for Bottega Veneta\u2019s S\/S 25 show <\/a>and has been a muse for Blazy ever since. Blazy said, \u201cSince we met, Bhavitha has never ceased to amaze me. Smart, down-to-earth, she emanates a sense of deep joy. We are happy she will be part of this chapter with us at Chanel.\u201d [WWD<\/a>]<\/p>\n
