Paris Haute Couture Week Highlights Chanel Collection and Emerging Shoulder Jewelry Trend

Matthieu Blazy presented Chanel’s Autumn/Winter 2026‑2027 haute couture collection in Paris, emphasizing handcrafted detail, a light reinterpretation of classic tweed and iconic accessories such as pearls and camellias. The show was staged as a fairy‑tale narrative inspired by Charles Perrault’s tales.

During the same week, major jewelry houses including Boucheron and De Beers London introduced a new focus on shoulder‑mounted pieces, turning diamonds and other gems into extensions of the garment silhouette. The trend reflects a historic return to shoulder adornment dating back to antiquity.

A broader review of the couture week noted other notable presentations, such as Dior’s nature‑inspired knotted designs by Jonathan Anderson and Schiaparelli’s experimental “Call of the Void” collection, while top models were photographed in off‑duty couture attire, underscoring the season’s influence beyond the runway.
