Slinky little black dresses, monochrome looks, textured tweed jackets, sparkly embroidered textures, and masculine, boxy tailoring were on fine display at Matthieu Blazy‘s Fall 2026 Chanel collection. The collection, presented on day eight of Paris Fashion Week, marked Blazy’s fourth installment as the fabled French fashion house’s creative director. Appointed in December 2024, the French-Belgian designer staged his latest against a set of towering cranes that evoked a construction site. Guests like Kylie Minogue and Teyana Taylor watched from the front row as models like Stephanie Cavalli and Anne Vyalitsyna strutted past in Blazy’s layered, colorful, and freeing Fall 2026 collection.
Review of the Chanel Fall 2026 Collection
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“It’s fabulous. I love the colors, silhouettes, the prints, the styling. It’s like Chanel codes with a modern, minimal, graphic aesthetic. I see things for the most basic, influencer girl but also the Philo fan. I loved it. Might be my favorite of the season.” [nikkuman]
“Solid sequel to the October show. I see the Asian market going crazy for the last section of the show.” [LadyJunon]
“His best collection by far. I have to say I enjoyed most of it. That’s exactly the POV and aesthetic that make the fashion critics go wild: very pretentious and intellectual but down to earth with a gimmick or a clash of colors or textures.” [FashionPower]
“Some of it was decent, but a lot of it was damn ugly, especially the dresses. OMG, yuck!” [disco54]
“It’s just there. Neither exceptional nor hideous.” [Salvatore]
“All the collections so far just simply blend together.” [brandon J pierre]
“Yeah, I am not feeling this. Marc [Jacobs] or Nicolas [Ghesquière] should’ve gotten the job.” [helmutnotdead]
