Chanel presented its Fall/Winter 2026 collection at the Grand Palais, transforming the historic venue into an industrial “dream workshop” with giant construction cranes and a liquid-metal floor. In his second collection for the 116-year-old house, creative director Matthieu Blazy reimagined classic tweed with metallic threads, sheer fabrics, and embroidery. Structured tailoring coexisted with fluid chiffon; see-through tweed suits featured lurex and silicone, paired with two-tone pumps. Loose dresses nodded to 1920s flapper styles. Blazy recalibrated the label’s DNA — treating camellias, chains, and tweed as malleable materials. The audience included Kylie Minogue, Margot Robbie, and K-pop star Jennie.
