In April 2026, CHANEL presented Cruise 2027 in Biarritz, the Atlantic resort where Gabrielle Chanel opened a couture house in 1915.
Matthieu Blazy’s first CHANEL Cruise collection connected that history to a modern wardrobe of jackets, dresses, silk, raffia and tweed.
In Biarritz, Chanel brought her boutique, workrooms, salon and home under one roof. Jersey blouses, easy jackets and skirts could be worn by the sea and still look right at a hotel or in a salon.
This was where a millinery business became a couture house. For 27C, Biarritz was more than a nostalgic address: it was a reminder that CHANEL has always changed clothes to suit the way women live.
The first look was black, marking a century since American Vogue compared Chanel’s simple 1926 dress to the Ford. Blazy kept the deep V-neck and dropped waist, then traced the surface with crisp white geometric stitching.
A large bow from the historic sketch reappeared as a playful clutch. It was a smart shift: the memory remained, but the detail had moved somewhere new.
Marinière quarter-zips, washed cotton-canvas suits, silk scarf dresses and raffia skirts loosened the line between city and sea. Swimsuits appeared beneath polished jackets, making the collection feel dressed and relaxed at once.
Shell earrings, coral-like trims and fish-scale embroidery brought the coast into the clothes. Tweed and lace seemed lighter because every surface was allowed to move.
The double C appeared as openwork and lattice rather than a logo placed on top. It followed the fabric and helped form the silhouette—visible, but never shouting.
Later, newspaper-print skirt suits and long dresses brought graphic energy to the beach. The change of rhythm made the closing passages especially memorable.
Loïc Prigent’s film catches more than the runway: the guests, the street sounds and the quick flashes of backstage life. His humour never gets in the way of his respect for the people making the clothes.
In his hands, the runway and everything around it become one beautifully observed story.

What began in Biarritz in 1915 was not one fixed silhouette, but a way of adapting clothes to life. At 27C, that freedom returned in silk, raffia, cotton and CHANEL jackets moving in the Atlantic light.
