Mark your calendars! Chanel‘s Métiers d’Art line will host its 2025/2026 runway show on December 2 in New York City. The house’s annual artisanal collection highlights the work of artisans and cultures around the world, with past international destinations including Hangzhou (China), Rome (Italy), Dakar (Senegal), and many more. The December show is a welcome return to the Big Apple for Chanel, which previously showed its viral ancient Egypt-inspired 2018 Métiers d’Art collection at the Temple of Dendur inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art under Karl Lagerfeld’s tenure. It will also mark the first Métiers d’Art collection by newly inducted artistic director Matthieu Blazy—who’s already due for a busy season after his first Chanel collection hits the runway in October during Paris Fashion Week!
