Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel continues to feel like a love letter to the house, and this Fall 2026 collection made that conversation with Gabrielle Chanel even more clear. Inspired by Coco’s famous line about fashion being both “caterpillar and butterfly,” Blazy built a collection around transformation. Clothes that work for everyday life, and clothes that lift off into something more magical.

The show opened with simplicity. Black knit jackets, classic skirt suits, and quiet tweed pieces set the tone. These looks felt very “caterpillar” in spirit. Grounded, practical, and wearable. The Chanel suit acted as the foundation, but Blazy played with it in interesting ways. Sometimes the jacket became a tweed overshirt or a relaxed blouson. Silhouettes felt easier and more fluid than the traditional set.

There were clear nods to Chanel’s history, especially the 1920s. Drop waists, pleated skirts, and elongated proportions appeared throughout the collection. Belts sat low on the hips, creating a relaxed, almost flapper-like shape that felt both archival and modern.

As the show progressed, the “butterfly” side started to emerge. Fabrics became shinier, lighter, and more dramatic. Metal mesh pieces shimmered in iridescent colours, while embroidered dresses and textured coats added movement and glow. Some tweeds were reimagined in unexpected materials, including knitted mesh with pearls or metallic threads.

Blazy also seems interested in expanding the language of Chanel rather than just repeating it. Tweed jackets felt younger, bags were worn casually open, and menswear-inspired elements added ease to the wardrobe. The show closed with a simple black jersey dress featuring a camellia suspended at the back. Quiet from the front, striking from behind. It summed up the whole idea perfectly.

Honestly, it’s hard not to fall in love with Chanel again watching this. Blazy understands the codes, but he also understands the emotion. And right now, that balance feels exactly right.
