CHANEL Métiers d’Art 2026 Matthieu Blazy’s New York Subway Reverie– Cinematic Craft in Urban Harmony

In the atmospheric depths of New York’s disused Bowery subway station—transformed into a cinematic dreamscape with a vintage train car as the set—Matthieu Blazy presented his first Métiers d’Art collection for CHANEL, channeling the egalitarian energy of the city’s underground with influences from Gabrielle Chanel’s 1931 Hollywood trip. The 2026 lineup blended archival inspirations from the 1920s to 1980s, featuring hand-woven leopard tweed sets, silks mimicking Astrakhan fur, airy ombré dresses, and petal-fringed ball skirts paired with casual turtlenecks. Playful elements like graphic "Clark Kent" sweaters, bouclé check flannels with chain hemlines, and hand-painted New York skyline linings celebrated urban whimsy, while vibrant colors and sequin accents evoked a luxurious, aspirational vibe rooted in atelier craftsmanship.

Front Row Royalty:
A$AP Rocky and Margaret Qualley (stars of the pre-show Michel Gondry film), Tilda Swinton, Kristen Stewart, Solange, G-Dragon, Jessie Buckley, Linda Evangelista, Dapper Dan, Charlotte Casiraghi, Rose Byrne, Riley Keough, Jon Bon Jovi, Jenny Slate, and Emily Ratajkowski—all radiating CHANEL’s timeless allure in archival and fresh looks, turning the subway into a star-studded constellation of style.
