In France, they do things a little differently. Instead of arcades, they have casinos, and instead of piers, they have five-star hotels, originally built for empresses and royalty. This describes the scene on France\u2019s west coast, in Biarritz, where <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/matthieu-blazy\"><span>Matthieu Blazy<\/span><\/a><span> decided to take us on a trip for his debut <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/chanel\"><span>Chanel<\/span><\/a><span> Cruise collection.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>THERE WAS SOMETHING FISHY AFOOT<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"3ebe39ee-c0b0-4521-846c-b43a014a7829\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1215\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/4\/1444113.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.84\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Chanel Cruise 2026 teaser\" class=\"img\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/4\/1444113.jpg\" width=\"1215\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Chanel Cruise <span class=\"nowrap\">2026 teaser<\/span><\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Chanel<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>As much as we all love a beach escape, nothing Blazy ever does is random. It was in Biarritz that Coco Chanel became a couturier, opening her first couture house here in 1915. Hosted inside a casino ballroom, the show space looked out over the choppy Bay of Biscay \u2013 a hotspot for surfers and mermaids alike, according to Blazy. In the days leading up to the show, the brand posted a series of black and white images teasing the collection, one of which presented us with a Chanel mermaid lounging on the rocks. Today\u2019s collection marks the Belgian designer\u2019s fifth show and first cruise collection for Chanel. It follows last month\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/fashion\/article\/69876\/1\/chanel-aw26-matthieu-blazy-butterflies-pfw-paris-fashion-week\"><span>AW26 ready-to-wear show<\/span><\/a><span>, which also, surprisingly, featured mermaids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>WHICH WAY TO THE BEACH? <\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Not even <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/asap-rocky\"><span>A$AP Rocky<\/span><\/a><span> can resist a beach holiday.

Of course there have been some exceptions \u2013 a chunky knit sweater at last December\u2019s Metiers d\u2019Art show reinterpreted Chanel\u2019s logo as the Superman emblem, while mini logos can be seen on jewellery, buttons and the heels of pointed shoes. But if today\u2019s show was anything to go by, Blazy\u2019s understanding of the Cruise customer is that they absolutely <\/span><em><span>love<\/span><\/em><span> logos \u2013 little, large and everywhere in between.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Though we began in demure fashion with two monochromatic looks, our third model entered the space in a vintage swimming cap emblazoned with the Chanel logo, before house ambassador Bhavitha Mandava appeared in a black skirt and blazer set with large white logos stitched into both pieces. From there, the logo appeared as metal belt clasps, knitted onto the front of polos, as a neckline on sweaters, and on skirts, tops and more swimming caps. At one point, it was incorporated into the loud pattern of some colour-blocked silk separates, while the most unabashed use came in the form of an off-the-shoulder dress completely covered by the interlocking logo. Is logomania back? Blazy\u2019s Chanel seems to think so.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>BLAZY\u2019S FUTURE GRAILS<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"a6b98b02-d2f2-42b4-8993-b43a0148f010\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/4\/1444110.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Chanel Cruise 2026\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/4\/1444110.jpg\" width=\"2001\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Chanel Cruise 2026<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Photography Marc Piasecki via <span class=\"nowrap\">Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Speaking of logos, throughout his 36-year tenure at Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld churned out an inordinate amount of rare, logoed pieces that would go on to become holy grails. From the infamous SS96 micro-bikins, motorcycle helmets of SS02, the giant hula hoop bag of SS13, to boxing gloves, surfboards and more, Lagerfeld\u2019s collections were littered with these iconic products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In comparison, though he\u2019s been lauded for his new take on Chanel, Blazy\u2019s collections have largely focused on reinventing wardrobe classics, rather than producing these future holy grails. This all changed at today\u2019s Cruise show, when models appeared in the retro logo swimming caps, as well as XL thigh-skimming wading boots, also branded with the double C. The showing was reminiscent of the savvy merchandising Lagerfeld used to oversee, and it all came to a head when Mona Tougaard appeared carrying an enormously large woven beach tote, its comic proportions recalling that hula hoop bag from SS13. For many, this might be the final piece of the puzzle in connecting Blazy\u2019s Chanel to Lagerfeld\u2019s playful past.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>MATTHIEU BLA-SEA<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"b7346271-7e8b-4b6d-8d65-b43a01494ccc\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/4\/1444111.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Chanel Cruise 2026\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/4\/1444111.jpg\" width=\"2000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Chanel Cruise 2026<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Photography Aurore Marechal via <span class=\"nowrap\">Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>From a distance, it was a collection made up of oversized logos and summery pastel hues. But up close, ocean-inspired details were dotted delicately throughout. Small starfishes were embroidered onto hems, while fish blew air bubbles in the shape of the double C. Swimming caps featured a cute mohawk shape, like the spine of a fish. Earrings resembled both shells and gills, and some models wore black, spiked balls on their heads, like poisonous sea urchins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>COME INTO MY UNDERWATER WORLD<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Of course, it wouldn\u2019t be a Chanel show without an obscure soundtrack.

In France, they do things a little differently. Instead of arcades, they have casinos, and instead of piers, they have five-star hotels, originally built for empresses and royalty. This describes the scene on France\u2019s west coast, in Biarritz, where <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/matthieu-blazy\"><span>Matthieu Blazy<\/span><\/a><span> decided to take us on a trip for his debut <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/chanel\"><span>Chanel<\/span><\/a><span> Cruise collection.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>THERE WAS SOMETHING FISHY AFOOT<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"3ebe39ee-c0b0-4521-846c-b43a014a7829\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1215\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/4\/1444113.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.84\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Chanel Cruise 2026 teaser\" class=\"img\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/4\/1444113.jpg\" width=\"1215\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Chanel Cruise <span class=\"nowrap\">2026 teaser<\/span><\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Chanel<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>As much as we all love a beach escape, nothing Blazy ever does is random. It was in Biarritz that Coco Chanel became a couturier, opening her first couture house here in 1915. Hosted inside a casino ballroom, the show space looked out over the choppy Bay of Biscay \u2013 a hotspot for surfers and mermaids alike, according to Blazy. In the days leading up to the show, the brand posted a series of black and white images teasing the collection, one of which presented us with a Chanel mermaid lounging on the rocks. Today\u2019s collection marks the Belgian designer\u2019s fifth show and first cruise collection for Chanel. It follows last month\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/fashion\/article\/69876\/1\/chanel-aw26-matthieu-blazy-butterflies-pfw-paris-fashion-week\"><span>AW26 ready-to-wear show<\/span><\/a><span>, which also, surprisingly, featured mermaids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>WHICH WAY TO THE BEACH? <\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Not even <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/asap-rocky\"><span>A$AP Rocky<\/span><\/a><span> can resist a beach holiday.

Of course there have been some exceptions \u2013 a chunky knit sweater at last December\u2019s Metiers d\u2019Art show reinterpreted Chanel\u2019s logo as the Superman emblem, while mini logos can be seen on jewellery, buttons and the heels of pointed shoes. But if today\u2019s show was anything to go by, Blazy\u2019s understanding of the Cruise customer is that they absolutely <\/span><em><span>love<\/span><\/em><span> logos \u2013 little, large and everywhere in between.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Though we began in demure fashion with two monochromatic looks, our third model entered the space in a vintage swimming cap emblazoned with the Chanel logo, before house ambassador Bhavitha Mandava appeared in a black skirt and blazer set with large white logos stitched into both pieces. From there, the logo appeared as metal belt clasps, knitted onto the front of polos, as a neckline on sweaters, and on skirts, tops and more swimming caps. At one point, it was incorporated into the loud pattern of some colour-blocked silk separates, while the most unabashed use came in the form of an off-the-shoulder dress completely covered by the interlocking logo. Is logomania back? Blazy\u2019s Chanel seems to think so.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>BLAZY\u2019S FUTURE GRAILS<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"a6b98b02-d2f2-42b4-8993-b43a0148f010\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/4\/1444110.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Chanel Cruise 2026\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/4\/1444110.jpg\" width=\"2001\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Chanel Cruise 2026<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Photography Marc Piasecki via <span class=\"nowrap\">Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Speaking of logos, throughout his 36-year tenure at Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld churned out an inordinate amount of rare, logoed pieces that would go on to become holy grails. From the infamous SS96 micro-bikins, motorcycle helmets of SS02, the giant hula hoop bag of SS13, to boxing gloves, surfboards and more, Lagerfeld\u2019s collections were littered with these iconic products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In comparison, though he\u2019s been lauded for his new take on Chanel, Blazy\u2019s collections have largely focused on reinventing wardrobe classics, rather than producing these future holy grails. This all changed at today\u2019s Cruise show, when models appeared in the retro logo swimming caps, as well as XL thigh-skimming wading boots, also branded with the double C. The showing was reminiscent of the savvy merchandising Lagerfeld used to oversee, and it all came to a head when Mona Tougaard appeared carrying an enormously large woven beach tote, its comic proportions recalling that hula hoop bag from SS13. For many, this might be the final piece of the puzzle in connecting Blazy\u2019s Chanel to Lagerfeld\u2019s playful past.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>MATTHIEU BLA-SEA<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"b7346271-7e8b-4b6d-8d65-b43a01494ccc\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/4\/1444111.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.67\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Chanel Cruise 2026\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/4\/1444111.jpg\" width=\"2000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Chanel Cruise 2026<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Photography Aurore Marechal via <span class=\"nowrap\">Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>From a distance, it was a collection made up of oversized logos and summery pastel hues. But up close, ocean-inspired details were dotted delicately throughout. Small starfishes were embroidered onto hems, while fish blew air bubbles in the shape of the double C. Swimming caps featured a cute mohawk shape, like the spine of a fish. Earrings resembled both shells and gills, and some models wore black, spiked balls on their heads, like poisonous sea urchins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>COME INTO MY UNDERWATER WORLD<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Of course, it wouldn\u2019t be a Chanel show without an obscure soundtrack.
