The Chanel Ready-to-Wear Fall/Winter 2025/26 collection captured the attention of fashion lovers with model Lulu Tenney, as seen through the lens of photographer Anthony Seklaoui.
The house’s timeless signatures from bows, ribbons and pearls to tweed and its signature two-tone palette emerge anew, delicately reinterpreted through precision and restraint. Under Chanel’s masterful touch, each detail transcends ornamentation to become part of a refined aesthetic language, articulating the spirit of the season with quiet sophistication.
Layering takes centre stage, opening up unexpected pairings. A puff-sleeved blouse and black chiffon skirt are draped over an ecru suit, creating gentle depth and fluidity. Meanwhile, a blue velvet suit is treated to evoke a trompe-l’œil illusion reminiscent of denim. The interplay between opulence and ease forms a fresh dialogue, graceful yet daring, timeless yet alive with modernity.

Every element is intentional. Bows bloom at collars and cuffs, while heels appear carved from a single, minimalist pearl. The crossbody bag mimics the fluid form of an oversized pearl necklace, and a simple leather wallet is transformed into a statement purse. Sparkling crystal jewellery adds a touch of ethereal romance, completing the dreamlike mood. By blending timeless codes with a contemporary visual language, Chanel not only honours its heritage but extends its creative frontier, bridging the dialogue between classic spirit and modern allure.
