Inside the New Chanel Métiers d’Art Collection: Artisan Techniques Meet Couture
Chanel’s Métiers d’Art collection has always been about honoring the house’s artisans. This season, Virginie Viard continued that legacy with a quietly powerful presentation in Paris, blending impeccable craftsmanship with modern ease.
The collection opened with tailored coats threaded with shimmering metallic yarn, layered over delicate lace skirts. Embroidered florals and feathered trims from Lemarié added texture and romance to structured silhouettes, while muted jewel tones dominated the palette — deep garnet, smoky emerald, and soft sapphire.
On Instagram, the reaction was immediate:

While the show lacked the overblown spectacle of past seasons, it delivered something rarer: a collection focused on enduring quality and the timeless appeal of hand-finished design. Chanel’s Métiers d’Art remains, at its core, a testament to the brand’s quiet power.
