Take a look at Chanel Metiers d’Art 2026 NYC Runway

Chanel returned to New York this week for the Métiers d’Art 2026 show, the first one designed by Matthieu Blazy. Instead of choosing a museum or a classic city landmark, the house staged the event inside an abandoned subway platform at Bowery. A$AP Rocky, Solange, G-Dragon, Tilda Swinton, Kristen Stewart and many others made their way underground for a show that brought Paris craftsmanship into the everyday reality of New York.

The collection was inspired by the people you meet in the city: students, artists, commuters, journalists, and everyone in between. Blazy mixed different eras and silhouettes, from light tweeds to soft knitwear and evening looks. There were small touches of humour too, like the coffee-cup bags or the outfits printed with dogs. Throughout the show, the work of Chanel’s artisans stayed central, from embroidery to hand-woven tweeds and feathers created at le19M.

A short film by Michel Gondry, featuring A$AP Rocky and Margaret Qualley, also played a role in the presentation. It set the tone for the show and highlighted the subway as a place where all kinds of stories meet.

With this collection, Chanel looked at New York with fresh eyes and showed a more playful and relaxed side of Métiers d’Art, while still celebrating the savoir-faire that defines the house.
