Chanel Spring/Summer 2025 Haute Couture: A Fresh Prelude to a New Era
In the transitional phase between Virginie Viard’s departure and Matthieu Blazy’s anticipated arrival, Chanel’s Spring Summer 2025 Haute Couture collection offered a light, fresh, and effortlessly pretty vision.
At a time when neutral tones dominate the fashion landscape, Chanel infused the runway with a refreshing palette of uplifting pastels. The show opened with an iridescent, hand-painted pastel jacket, paired with a playful, box-pleated A-line skirt—a prelude to a lineup of mint greens, fondant pinks, corals, mauves, and yellows, evoking a sense of joy and optimism.A modern reimagination of the iconic Chanel tweed suit anchored the collection. Skirts were cut above the knee, styled with cropped jackets, long-line silhouettes, and chic cardigan jackets lined with emerald satin. The result? A youthful yet sophisticated take on the 1960s Chanel aesthetic, designed with a fresh, contemporary audience in mind.
Though haute couture’s signature craftsmanship—delicate embroidery, featherwork, and meticulous detail—was present, the collection leaned into wearability. A sleek yellow satin shirtdress and a silver lamé gown paired with a structured coat stood out for their effortless elegance.
The runway, staged at the Grand Palais, featured a flowing white Mobius band—a symbol of Chanel’s timeless fluidity. Subtly shaped into a giant CC logo, the structure embodied the house’s infinite legacy and quiet sophistication.
While this collection steered away from theatrical grandeur, it celebrated relatable, wearable couture, setting the stage for an exciting new era. With Matthieu Blazy poised to take the helm, Chanel’s enduring craftsmanship and effortless elegance remain stronger than ever.
