Chanel’s 2026 Ready-to-Wear Collection: A New York Launch Meets Seoul’s Fashion Scene

Chanel is bringing its 2026 Métiers d’Art collection to Seoul on May 25, 2026, as part of a continuing global presentation of the line.

The collection was first unveiled in New York in December 2025. According to an announcement from Allure Korea, the Seoul event serves as a continuation of the collection’s journey following its initial premiere.

The Métiers d’Art collections are distinct from Chanel’s primary ready-to-wear and haute couture lines. These annual collections are specifically designed to showcase the work of specialized artisans and craftspeople, often focusing on the technical mastery of various workshops.

These workshops typically include specialists in embroidery, featherwork, millinery, footwear, and button-making. By dedicating a specific collection to these trades, Chanel highlights the preservation of traditional craftsmanship within the modern fashion industry.

The transition of the 2026 collection from New York to Seoul follows the brand’s practice of presenting these curated works in various global fashion hubs to demonstrate the international reach and appeal of these artisanal techniques.
