Aussie Screen Queens Spotted at Chanel’s Sydney Runway
The house is restaging its Cruise 2026/27 collection, with Australian models on the shoreline and no other luxury brand having staged a show of this scale locally.
On Thursday, Chanel staged its first-ever runway show in Australia, presenting the Cruise 2026/27 collection at Barangaroo's The Cutaway in Sydney.
Creative director Matthieu Blazy's collection first debuted in Biarritz, France, in April, drawing inspiration from ocean-side life and surf culture that resonates with Sydney's coastal identity.
High-Profile guests including Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kidman, and Margot Robbie attended, viewing designs ranging from marine-themed jackets to sea-creature-inspired accessories and rubber wading boots.
Bruno Pavlovsky, Chanel's president of fashion, said the brand chose Australia to mark a significant growth step: "We just want to make people happy, make people feel joyful."
The presentation coincides with a new Chanel flagship store opening in Sydney, while a renovated Melbourne outlet is scheduled for unveiling later this month.
