Chanel S/S 2026 Paris

[Nimsay]

Dior 2012? Raf got fired for that mess.

This is the debut of the century.

Only Awar seems to be genuinely enjoying herself on the runway!
The rest? Let’s call it a gentle suggestion to try harder next season.
But, Happy to see Alek back at Chanel runway!

PS
WAS THE MUSIC ONLINE THE SAME AS IN THE VENUE?!? IF YES, THIS HAD TO BE THE WORST SOUNDTRACK EVER

Try this seasons Margiela.

Won’t top Haider’s Tom Ford in my book but it’s fantastic!

This is the direction I believe Chanel needs to take in order to become relevant in fashion conversations once again. I know we all feel nostalgic about Karl, but that era is over — and if you’re truly a fan of his, you must also know how much he evolved from his very first collection onward. Chanel shaped what we now call “Karl”, and I truly believe that with all the resources and the immense legacy left by two extraordinary predecessors — Gabrielle and Karl — Matthieu will be able to balance and transform his own aesthetics to redefine Chanel once more.

Honestly, this collection feels incredibly heartfelt for a debut S/S. In my opinion, a designer’s true prime usually comes between 47 and 57 — and he’s only 41, for heaven’s sake!

Overall I find it more light and relaxed. It was not a clear and precise than I would have preferred.
He's exploring ideas I guess. But cute pieces and looks here and there.
Spectacular set. Not a fan of the music tho, too many moods.

In a business sense it makes sense to have him next Jonathan Anderson.
After all Dior and Chanel will always be up against each other and it's nice to have 2 of fashion's rising names in each house. It's like 2012 Raf and Hedi again and I'm here for it. Fashion is back I guess.

 

[Nimsay]

Raf and Hedi? Wow. Im stunned.

 

[WAVES]

extremely solid debut being the best part the fact that he we able to use the house codes and re-invent them.
definitely well done and I knew Blazy would be able to pull off a good collection.

it wasn’t 100% perfect but it was great (would’ve edited ahaha)

after Chloe I thought maybe Claudia would be front row or even walking again on the runway again (let me dream), but… and WTF Vittoria absent from this show?? it actually deserved an even stronger cast.

 

[Lola701]

And yes: fabulous soundtrack! Rythmn is a dancer and Caroline? I’m on board!

 

[nilobraz]

I liked it. I was a bit surprised by the first looks since they felt very Bottega, but then the real Chanel pieces started to appear. I think this debut feels a bit unsettling because I’ve spent years with a certain image of Chanel, and now it’s something different. Still, I don’t see the disaster everyone’s talking about. Looking forward to the haute couture show

 

[Hchloe]

A breath of fresh air!

 

[Vikingtop]

I liked it very much!

Very wearable, very 2025, good soundtrack

One of the few occasions I liked Chanel!!!!

 

[Grets]

The worst possible combination of a Raf x Phoebe Chanel. So predictable.

 

[AFWQ]

I got shock for a second, while watching first row of looks at end. My mind went automatically "WHERE IS THE TWEED?"... ahah

it was giving Ancora.

I saw a godo set of solid looks...it was light but not in a Chloé way, but younger without being too juvenile...i think a lot of people will be pleased.it is true some of the looks too much what he did for BV but i guess more and more with the seasons pass by he will develop his own language for Chanel. It is a good debut not spectacular but i think he will take Chanel to a new era.

He needs to put some order in showing the looks,a lot of part were disjointed...he needs a good stylist...

I didn't saw any ugly looks a-la-Virginie...

The finale was cute....he seemed proud...he can decompress now and then start again because he wont rest until maybe june next year..lol...

 

[GivenchyAddict]

My issue with Blazy at BV was that it always felt too heavy — the styling was over-intellectual, and I never found any real sense of fun or humour in his work.

I’m glad that’s not the case with his first show. You can clearly see the Chanel codes and how he’s decided to push them, probably even introducing new ones. The looks are rich and full of detail; they’re fun, luxurious, and genuinely modern — unlike Virginie’s work.

Virginie had all the Chanel codes, yet it was still terrible, so I won’t be too rigid about the supposed “lack” of codes here.

He’ll still need to tighten the editing, shake things up when it comes to shoes, and bring more wit to the accessories. We all knew his debut would polarise people, but at least this time, we feel something — and Chanel is back in the conversation. One task done for Matthieu.

Of everyone this season, this is the strongest debut in my opinion. Now that we’ve had Chanel, fashion week is officially over (sorry, not sorry, to those showing tomorrow).

 

[CommanderTMugler]

It felt lighter, not as stuffy and modern which are 3 things one isn’t used to at Chanel but still all the other marks of classic Chanel while keeping some of the proportions of Karl. It feels like a spring collection. The movement of the clothes is fantastic, especially that feathered red/orange skirt and the almost to the ground mermaid gown. I can’t wait to see his couture if those two pieces are a glimpse of it.

The set is also amazing but I don’t know if for this collection, but it gives off the grandeur Chanel show attendees expect. A great revamp.

 

[Lorenzogi]

So luckluste! Worse than Zara.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

i like it -- not every look but a lot of them. as many have said, it has a freshness that's been lacking.
