At the Chanel Haute Couture Spring–Summer 2026 show, Matthieu Blazy elevates lightness as a new expression of luxury, highlighting the Maison’s savoir-faire through intricate craftsmanship and precious applications on weightless fabrics. Silk mousseline, sheer layers, and mosaic-like embroidery dialogue with ultra-light tailoring and fluid silhouettes, while tweed is deconstructed and reimagined.
References to the Roaring Twenties and the natural world emerge through feathers, floral textures, and dreamlike accessories. The collection confirms Blazy’s refined mastery of material and his confident reinterpretation of Chanel’s heritage.
