The year of creative director debuts continues full-steam ahead, and as the spring 2026 collections near, so do expectations rise. Matthieu Blazy will introduce his new vision for Chanel this October in Paris in what is sure to be one of the most-discussed collections of the season, but already the maison is planning what comes next. Today, it announced that the Métiers d’art show will take place on Tuesday, December 2 in New York City.
“I am delighted that Matthieu Blazy has chosen New York for his first Métiers d’art show,” said Chanel president Bruno Pavlovsky in a statement. “He will make the creative energy of the city he knows so well resonate with the exceptional savoir-faire of the house.”
Chanel last held a Metiers d’art show in New York in December 2018, when Karl Lagerfeld took over the Temple of Dendur at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with a collection that fused a kind of uptown chic with Ancient Egyptian geometry—along with a trove of gold embellishments.
Although we don’t yet know where in the city Blazy will make his first Metiers d’Art statement, we can be sure that it will be another spectacular chapter in Chanel’s new era. We’ll keep our eyes peeled!
