A Closer Look At Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel Métiers D’Art Debut

May 28, 2026 2 min read

Chanel Métiers d’Art continues to be one of the brand’s most anticipated collections of the year, and this year is especially poignant as it marks Matthieu Blazy’s pre-fall debut. While the collection typically hits stores in June, Chanel fans are in for a treat this year, as it arrives in select boutiques today, May 27, and we’ve got the scoop!

Back in December, Matthieu Blazy took Chanel to the New York City subway, presenting a jaw-dropping collection full of artful details, bold colors, intricate embroidery, and more. It was everything you would expect from a Métiers d’Art collection—and then some.

Today, as the collection arrives in select boutiques, we’re celebrating with a look at the Chanel Métiers d’Art 2026 campaign, which, like the runway show, is a celebration of New York’s unmatched vibrancy and the eclectic personalities that make up the city.

Inside Chanel’s New York-Inspired Métiers d’Art Campaign

Shot by photographer Craig McDean in New York, the campaign captures the essence of the city by bringing together many different interpretations of the Chanel woman.

These personalities are distinguished by the pieces they wear—a quarter-zip and denim traverse the subway, while elevated eveningwear appears outside a diner, evoking New York night owls stopping for a late-night bite after a grand evening out.
