Presented at the mythical Villa d’Este, on the banks of Lake Como in Italy, the CHANEL Cruise 2025/26 collection is an an ode to cinematic glamour and to the joy of getting dressed up to be noticed. On the terrace of the legendary hotel, a radiant elsewhere takes shape. Luxurious and comfortable, the Cruise 2025/26 collection reflects the atmosphere of nonchalance, glamour and harmony that has made the Villa d’Este and Lake Como famous ever since the Renaissance.
The Creation Studio captures this magical insouciance and glamour, bringing to life its carefree elegance and celebration with short flounced taffeta ball gowns in pastel colours – peach, pink and blue, recalling the nearby lake. The sun-kissed colour palette, right up to the tweed suits, echoes that of the Villa, with its ochres, yellows and oranges.
Strings of beads, black sunglasses and long gloves, sequins and lamé reflect the Hollywood charm of the collection. Taffeta ball gowns, backless jumpsuit, and long capes: a carefree elegance and a spirit of celebration run through the collection.
