By all logic, Chanel should be floundering. A global juggernaut without a captain, the house has been in a state of limbo since the abrupt departure of Virginie Viard, drifting toward an uncertain horizon while awaiting the arrival of Matthieu Blazy in the fall.

Trim, tweed tailored suits and flowing dresses adorned by decorative black bows showcased Chanel's fall-winter runway collection in Paris on Tuesday.

Chanel ’s recent collections lack the spark of unexpected connections that comes with an outside eye. Think of Blazy’s swansong campaign for Bottega Veneta, which paired $8,400 woven leather Andiamo bags with animated stuffed animal beanbags and the soundtrack from “Beverly Hills, 90210.”

Prominent house motifs were given a playful rendition for the season ahead.

Winter 2025 collection expands beyond the French label's classic tweeds with loud accessories and see-through clothes, touched by a boho appeal.

The latest collection shown at Paris Fashion Week celebrated all things Gabrielle—and Karl.

Chanel’s Ribbon of Life runway show dazzled at the Grand Palais in Paris during Fashion Week, setting the stage for new creative director Matthieu Blazy’s upcoming debut.

Tyla attended her first-ever Chanel runway show today (wearing her first Chanel bag, too) in an outfit that paid respect to the brand’s past. The singer put a body-con spin on the Chanel skirt suit to attend the French brand’s fall 2025 show during Paris Fashion Week this morning.

Chanel has returned to its heartland of the Grand Palais in Paris for a poetic Fall Winter 2025/26 runway. Amid the grand hollows of the atrium, the maison played with proportions, colour to display a collection that was thoroughly ‘Chanel’.
