US EditionChanel Brings Golden-Hour Glamour to Lake Como for Resort 2026
- Chanel presented its Cruise 2026 collection on April 30, 2025, at the Villa d'Este hotel in Lake Como, Italy, showcasing relaxed glamour and vacation vibes.
- This collection returned to simplicity and ease after previous heavy seasons, with some daring cuts marking a departure for the conservative brand.
- Models wore airy dresses, tweed suits, crocheted and terry cloth separates, evening pajamas, and tiered skirts, accessorized with woven totes, bejeweled minaudieres, colorful mules, and patterned silk foulards.

- The collection marked a significant improvement and was regarded as a fresh, lighter offering, suggesting renewed creative direction ahead of Matthieu Blazy’s expected October debut as creative director.
