The Spring–Summer 2026 Collection marks a poetic dialogue between CHANEL’s new Artistic Director of Fashion Activities, Matthieu Blazy, and Gabrielle Chanel herself — a meeting of minds that transcends eras. Rooted in freedom, love, and modernity, the collection reimagines masculine tailoring and feminine elegance. Crisp shirts and trousers, once borrowed from Boy Capel, evolve into fluid silhouettes weighted with signature CHANEL chains. Tweeds are refined and agile, while knits flow effortlessly from day to night — balancing structure with sensuality. This is a celebration of freedom, of CHANEL women everywhere — timeless, powerful, and ever in motion.
Daywear celebrates lived-in sophistication — iconic 2.55 bags are intentionally crushed and cherished; crumpled camellias bloom on silk knits; frayed tweeds echo the passage of time. Architectural lines inspired by Art Deco merge with fluid silks and abstract florals, creating a vision of motion and grace.
Blazy carries CHANEL forward through innovation and intimacy — where past craftsmanship meets future form. The collection explores transparency, hand-knotted tweeds, and rich textures, adorned with baroque pearls, glass planets, and iconic two-tone footwear.
