Chanel may currently lack an artistic or creative director, but that hasn’t stopped the brand’s team from delivering beauty in its purest form. Today, on the second day of Haute Couture Week in Paris, Chanel unveiled its Spring/Summer 2025 collection, a testament to its enduring legacy.

Pastel tones, a trend for the upcoming Haute Couture season, were prominent not only here but also on the men’s runways. The celebration of 110 years of Chanel Haute Couture embraced this palette wholeheartedly.

Remaining true to its DNA, Chanel reimagined its iconic silhouette—the tweed suit—elevating the skirt hems slightly and experimenting with the lengths of those jackets we all dream of owning.

This collection, as a pinnacle of Haute Couture craftsmanship, feels youthful and refreshed yet timelessly classic. It’s a pause in time, rendered in mint green, baby blue, coral, and pale yellow.

While catering to its loyal audience, Chanel has also set its sights on a younger generation—a demographic that Matthieu Blazy might aim to captivate once he assumes creative leadership.

This collection doesn’t attempt to revolutionize the industry, but it offers a comforting sense of security in the best way possible. It’s Chanel at its core, brought to life by designers and artisans who have spent decades crafting the fabrics that tell the story Coco Chanel began over a century ago.

In many ways, this collection serves as an interlude—a moment of reflection before the brand’s next chapter unfolds under its future creative powerhouse, poised to amaze us with fresh ideas that earned him this coveted role.
