Chanel is set to unveil its highly anticipated Cruise 2026 collection in one of Italy’s most picturesque and iconic locations—Lake Como. On April 30, the French fashion house will stage its latest destination show at the historic Villa d’Este, nestled in the lush landscape of Lombardy’s celebrated lakefront. This move marks another chapter in Chanel’s tradition of selecting culturally and architecturally rich venues for its cruise presentations.
Although details about the designs to be revealed remain under wraps, Chanel offered a glimpse into the upcoming collection with a teaser film directed by longtime muse Sofia Coppola. The short visual piece hints at some of the aesthetic themes likely to appear on the runway, including layered pearl jewelry, woven crossbody bags and totes, printed silk scarves, and a variety of effortless footwear like slip-on mules and flats. These elements suggest a blend of elegance and casual sophistication, in tune with both the luxury of the villa setting and the relaxed spirit of cruise fashion.
The show is scheduled to begin on Wednesday at 2:00 PM local time in Como, or 8:00 AM EST. With its rich cinematic preview and a stunning backdrop, Chanel’s Cruise 2026 presentation is expected to offer both a visual and sartorial spectacle, adding another unforgettable moment to the brand’s storied history of global fashion showcases.
