Chanel Spring Summer 2026: A New Orbit

At the Grand Palais reimagined as a planetarium, Matthieu Blazy unveiled his first collection for Chanel — a bold reset for the maison and a poetic study in renewal. Celebrities like Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie, and Penélope Cruz lined the front row, reflecting Chanel’s enduring cultural gravity.
Blazy balanced heritage and innovation, transforming men’s shirts into eveningwear and softening classic tweedswith frayed, tactile textures. Echoing Coco Chanel’s love of menswear and the Art Deco rhythms of Paris, he distilled the brand’s DNA into something quietly revolutionary.
His debut marked a confident new orbit for Chanel — one where legacy meets modern imagination, and the house turns its gaze firmly toward the future.
