Chanel presents Cruise 2026/27 collection in Sydney

Chanel has held its Cruise 2026/27 collection presentation in Sydney, Australia, marking the first time the French fashion house has staged a runway show in the country. The event, held at The Cutaway within the Barangaroo Reserve, serves as the second chapter of a journey that began in Biarritz, France, in April 2026.

Under the artistic direction of Matthieu Blazy, the collection seeks to bridge the heritage of Gabrielle Chanel with modern mobility. The designs reinterpret classic house codes, such as the little black dress, nautical references, and the double C logo, using materials intended for contemporary life and movement. The Sydney presentation follows the initial debut in Biarritz, a location significant to the brand as the site where Gabrielle Chanel established her first couture house outside of Paris.
