At a glance
The second part of Blazy’s conversation with Gabrielle Chanel sets everyday function beside theatrical change. The suit is the collection’s recurring canvas: work shirts in bouclé tweed, pressed-tweed blousons and light silk-jersey layers give way to beaded knits and fluid evening looks. Accessories continue the dialogue between natural and artificial materials.
The suit as canvas
The house’s most familiar form moves between ribbed knits, tweeds and lighter constructions.
Day into night
Functional clothing gradually becomes fluid and iridescent evening dress.
Natural and artificial
Colour, resin, enamel and tinted mother-of-pearl extend the collection’s interest in transformation.
The setting
FHCM dates the Fall/Winter 2026 collection to 9 March and publishes the house’s collection statement.
