Overview

• Blazy presented Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2026 at the Grand Palais beneath a suspended solar system of glowing planets over a mirror-bright black runway.
• The collection reworked house signatures with low-slung tailoring, softened tweeds, dropped waists and frayed edges, plus feathered evening looks and metallic “crushed” 2.55 bags with exposed linings.
• The audience of more than 2,000 delivered a standing ovation, with a front row including Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie, Pedro Pascal and newly named ambassador Ayo Edebiri.
• Appointed in December 2024, Blazy becomes only the fourth creative director in Chanel’s history and said he designed the debut “as if it was our last.”
• The debut capped a season of designer handovers across luxury, as observers watch for commercial impact following Chanel’s 2024 revenue drop and 30% slide in operating profit.
