Chanel will stage a replica of its Cruise 2027 collection in Sydney on November 5, the French house’s first official runway show in Australia. The presentation will reproduce creative director Matthieu Blazy’s debut cruise collection, originally unveiled in Biarritz in late April, featuring seaside-inspired looks with marine and surfing elements. The replica show strategy, previously used in Singapore, Dubai, Miami, and Shenzhen, targets VIP clients and media. Chanel has not disclosed the Sydney venue. The brand will present its Métiers d’Art 2027 collection in Rome on December 2.
