CHANEL once again set a major milestone in the fashion world by transforming New York’s Bowery subway station into the runway for its Métiers d’Art collection. Under the vision of Matthieu Blazy, the show embraced the concept of real life, using the everyday rhythm of the city as the heart of its storytelling—where luxury seamlessly connects with daily living.
Breaking away from the conventions of a traditional fashion show, the spectacle began as a subway train pulled into the platform, its doors opening to reveal models stepping out as if this were simply another moment in their daily commute. Choosing Bowery Station—now largely unused—was a deliberate statement, challenging the idea that fashion must exist only within opulent catwalks. Instead, it can come alive in spaces rich with history, stories, and real human presence.
Blazy has once said that the New York subway is a place “where every class and every race shares the same space without hierarchy.” This philosophy is clearly reflected in the Métiers d’Art 2026 collection, which celebrates the diversity of women’s identities through the lens of CHANEL.
#legend_TH invites you to explore 10 looks, 10 styles from the CHANEL Métiers d’Art 2026 show—and discover the answer to: Which CHANEL Girl Are You?
01 THE ART SCHOOL GIRL
The opening look channels the effortless ease of a university student heading to class. A clean silhouette of straight-leg jeans paired with a sweater feels casual, yet elevated details—from pearl necklaces to squared-toe heels—reveal a woman with refined taste and an unmistakable sense of style.
02 THE ARCHIVE WOMAN
This look practically declares your deep love for fashion history. A leopard-print tweed suit, styled boldly with tall boots and unexpected mint-green accents, speaks to someone who isn’t afraid to stand out—and truly understands fashion.
03 THE DOUBLE DENIM GIRL
Modern, fresh, and free-spirited, this sky-blue double-denim look feels relaxed yet thoughtful, highlighted by delicate embroidery. Finished with a warm caramel-brown bag, it’s an everyday outfit that feels as natural as walking to your favorite café to meet a friend.
04 THE CITY ICON
Playful, adventurous, and alive to every beat of the city. A sequined “I ❤️ NY” T-shirt paired with pink-and-purple tweed tailoring captures the essence of a social butterfly—someone who can turn even the most ordinary day into a personal runway.
05 THE TRADITIONALIST
A modern princess of the capital, devoted to lace, grace, and perfection. From intricate embroidery featuring tiny ladybugs to a veil-adorned hat, every detail is soft, elegant, and timeless—classic beauty rendered powerful through precision.
06 THE GOTHAM READER
Fashion doesn’t always need sweetness or polish—it’s about attitude. An oversized blazer paired confidently with a tie and wide-leg trousers is given a clever twist with a nerdy Superman-logo knit underneath, proving confidence is the ultimate style statement.
07 THE PREHISTORIC IT-GIRL
The life of the party who never waits for an invitation. A fitted orange-and-black graphic dress, paired with a matching bag inspired by cartoon tiger motifs from The Flintstones, radiates camp energy—bold, fun, and unapologetically confident.
08 THE ART DECO MUSE
Romantic, vintage-loving, and infused with the spirit of the 1920s. A cream fringe dress sways beautifully with every step, reflecting the soul of a true bon vivant who adores art and music, perfectly complemented by unexpected green boots.
09 THE UNSEEN POWER
Mysterious and commanding, this woman exudes authority without saying a word. A long black coat with an oversized bow at the neck becomes a form of armor—elevating her presence to something regal, formidable, and impossible to ignore.
10 THE NIGHT-TIME DIVA
Born for spotlights and red carpets, she embraces glamour without restraint. A red sequined gown paired with a voluminous black fur coat declares confidence, clarity, and uncompromising standards—because for her, only the very best will do.
