Chanel Métiers d’Art 2026. Key Moments from the New York Show
What comes to mind when you think of a subway? For most people, it’s a busy and noisy place where everyone is rushing somewhere, minding their own business, waiting for a train, or just trying to get through the day. But the new creative director at Chanel saw it differently. Every year, Chanel’s Métiers d’Art show holds in different cities, and for the 2026 edition, Matthieu Blazy chose New York City. He picked an abandoned subway station in Manhattan as the venue and used it to unveil his second collection.
According Matthieu Blazy, the collection felt very character-driven, with each look telling its own story. Some outfits were inspired by a journalist from the ’70s, while others like the ’80s businesswoman ready to rule. All the details were carefully crafted to match each characters.

Models didn’t walk the runway in the usual way. Instead, they appeared around the subway-themed space while some stepped out of the train and stood along the platform as if waiting for their ride. Others leaned against pillars or sat near the tracks. Their outfits were a mix of Chanel tweed sets, oversized coats, and pinstripe suits styled with hats. There were also bold pieces like animal-print skirt suits and denim-inspired sets.
The guest walked down the stairs and passed through turnstiles before entering into the platform that was used as the runway. The stairs became the red carpet. Brand ambassador Tilda Swinton made her entrance in a high-neck feathered top paired with tweed skirt. she accessorized with black pumps with a contrasting ivory trim.

The model wasn’t walking the runway, but that didn’t stop her from making a statement. She opted for an all-black outfit, a see-through knitted skirt and a transparent textured sweater. She tied the look with sheer tights, pointed-toe pumps, and a Chanel bag.
The Métiers d’Art 2026 show wasn’t the usual runway, models mingled, smiled, and moved in and out of a subway‑inspired set, turning a busy station into a playful fashion moment. From the models to the front-row stars, Chanel’s imprint was everywhere. Almost all the attendees opted for the two‑toned Chanel shoes, showing that this Métiers d’Art show left its mark both on the runway and the red carpet.
It seems green would be having a moment in 2026, appearing everywhere from runways to street style. Designers are exploring different shades of green, from deep forest and olive tones to chartreuse. Whether used in outerwear, tailored suits, or accessories, green adds an unexpected twist to any look.
Even before Pantone announced its official Color of the Year for 2026, several brands and fashion experts had pinpointed different shades of green as the go-to hue for the year.

The last time Pantone picked green as its Color of the Year was in 2017, calling it Greenery, a bright, yellow-tinged green. Since then, the color has expanded into chartreuse and more varied shades of green.
While designers favored lime and moss greens for SS26, chartreuse still carried impact. On the runways, it appeared on asymmetric skirts, inspired by the mid-century and leather accessories. Also, during Paris Fashion Week, fashion enthusiasts either layered chartreuse over neutrals or let a small pop of the color peek out from a jumper. From the runways to streets, chartreuse remained a consistent presence across SS26.

The shade also reflected on the Spring/Summer 2025 runways, where designers like Prada, Gucci, and Saint Laurent displayed various shades of green. Peter Martinez, co-founder and fashion designer at Leather Skin Shop, predicts that in 2026, menswear will favor shades like hunter, olive, and clay, while womenswear will embrace softer mineral and sea-glass greens.

Most celebrities are exploring this trend, incorporating green into their everyday style. From emerald coats paired with neutral basics to vivid green handbags adding contrast to monochrome outfits, it’s clear that green is becoming a favorite for those wanting to make an impact without relying on traditional red, blue, or black.
In 1896, Georges Vuitton introduced a design that would come to define luxury travel: the Louis Vuitton Monogram. Created as both a tribute to his father, Louis Vuitton, and a practical measure against counterfeiting, the emblem combined the interlocking LV initials with floral motifs. More than a century later, this signature motif remains instantly recognizable, a symbol of craftsmanship, heritage, and innovation.

As Louis Vuitton prepares to celebrate the Monogram’s 130th anniversary in 2026, the house is unveiling a year-long programme highlighting its most beloved silhouettes. From the Speedy and Keepall to the Noé, Alma, and Neverfull, these classics will anchor commemorative collections that reinterpret the Monogram through craft, materials, and archival references. Three capsule collections Monogram Origine, VVN, and Time Trunk will show the emblem in fresh ways while honouring its legacy.
Beyond the collections, the celebration will extend to global boutiques, curated exhibitions, and storytelling installations, tracing the Monogram’s evolution from travel trunk to cultural icon. Over the decades, designers have revisited the motif in inventive ways. In the early 2000s, Marc Jacobs incorporated graffiti, while Takashi Murakami introduced a multicolour reinterpretation that brought the Monogram into contemporary art. Recent collaborations under Pharrell Williams and Nicolas Ghesquière continue to push creative boundaries, demonstrating the design’s adaptability and enduring appeal.

The Monogram has not only shaped Louis Vuitton’s identity but also influenced wider fashion culture. It has appeared in runway shows, street style, and pop culture, reinforcing the brand’s role as a pioneer in luxury design. The anniversary programme offers an opportunity for collectors, fashion enthusiasts, and the wider public to engage with the Monogram’s history and its ongoing relevance.
By honouring 130 years of the emblem, Louis Vuitton celebrates more than a design it celebrates a story of innovation, artistry, and timeless style. The Monogram continues to bridge generations, reminding the world that true luxury lies in heritage and vision.
