Chanel Spring Summer 2026 Pre collection : Matthieu Blazy presents a new vision
Chanel Spring Summer 2026 : Pre Collection preview
The Spring Summer 2026 Pre Collection from Chanel, available starting friday the 16th in stores, immediately asserts its style. The collection reveals a rich and varied wardrobe : ready to wear, bags, shoes, accessories, reimagined tweed, lightweight knits, and flowing silks coexist in perfect harmony. Denim blends with deep burgundy, bright white, signature black, and other subtle shades, while each piece is designed to be worn daily with elegance and ease, perfectly embodying the balance between heritage and modernity.
Matthieu Blazy : modernity and heritage
2025 was a year of major shifts in fashion, and the highly anticipated arrival of Matthieu Blazy as Artistic Director of Chanel made a strong impression. A designer recognized for his sensitivity and contemporary vision of luxury, he brings fresh energy to the House while respecting its historical ADN.
His first shows were very well received. In Paris, for Spring Summer 2026, he presented a poetic and cosmic staging with planets suspended above the runway, while in New York, for the Métiers d’Art 2026 show, his original presentation captivated the international press and audience. These events confirmed his ability to reinterpret the House’s heritage without freezing it.
With this Pre Collection, Blazy asserts a clear vision : Chanel does not need a rupture to reinvent itself. Iconic codes such as couture, camellias, sequins, and signature proportions are present but subtly reinterpreted, offering a fluid and natural elegance designed for today’s woman. Each piece tells a story of craftsmanship, movement, and style, confirming a desirable and coherent artistic direction.
A complete collection designed for the contemporary woman
The Chanel Spring Summer 2026 bags embody this new approach to luxury. Iconic shapes are preserved but softened with supple materials and functional volumes. Denim adds a contemporary dimension to models designed to accompany everyday life. Leathers, soft nappa, and innovative textures enhance this fluidity, while colors such as deep burgundy, black, bright white, and soft pastels allow the bags to complement both daytime silhouettes and more dressed up looks.
The ready to wear emphasizes freedom of movement. Lightweight tweed, flowing silks, sporty knits, and refined denim create a wardrobe built to last. Cuts are sharp without stiffness, prioritizing comfort and style. Each piece reflects Chanel’s craftsmanship in details, seams, finishes, and proportions, and can be mixed to create a personal and versatile style.
Shoes complete the silhouette with precision. Clean lines, natural wear, and discreet finishes reflect a vision of functional luxury designed to accompany the day without constraint.
Accessories, including jewelry, belts, and small leather goods, punctuate the looks with finesse. Chanel’s iconic codes appear as signatures rather than statements. Every detail contributes to the overall harmony, from bags to shoes, creating a complete and coherent wardrobe.
Chanel today : wearable luxury and instant desire
With this Pre Collection, Chanel offers a more immediate form of luxury, designed to be worn while staying true to its heritage. Silhouettes, accessories, and couture details become the pillars of style, embodying the relaxed elegance that Matthieu Blazy champions. Garments adapt to the demands of the active modern woman, combining comfort with sophistication.
