Chanel presented its latest cruise collection on the beachfront of Biarritz, marking the fifth show by creative director Matthieu Blazy. The event showcased a blend of nautical motifs and classic Chanel tweeds, set against the backdrop of the Atlantic coast.
Blazy's vision for the season drew inspiration from the seaside town's surfing culture and the relaxed elegance of coastal living. Models walked a runway laid out on the sand, wearing looks that combined sporty silhouettes with the house's signature craftsmanship.
Key pieces included striped knitwear, quilted surf-inspired bags, and lightweight tweed jackets paired with board shorts. The collection explored the contrast between the formality of Chanel's tailoring and the effortless spirit of the beach, resulting in a lineup that felt both fresh and faithful to the brand's heritage.
