Runway: Chanel F/W 2026-27, seen at Paris Fashion Week

Discover the Chanel F/W 2026-27 RTW collection by Matthieu Blazy presented during Paris Fashion Week 2026. The F/W 2026 collection is Blazy's second RTW collection for the fashion house - a significant moment, as it showcases how Blazy is settling into Chanel and where his vision will take it in the future. "I wish to create a canvas for women to be unapologetically who they are and who they want to be,” Blazy shared in the show notes ...... I also added the Chanel video with the complete collection (16,5 min.), see below. Be Inspired ........

The Blazy Tweed Skirt Suit
Blazy revisited some of the house codes on the runway and specifically doubled down on the Chanel skirt suit. "The suit serves as the central canvas, ready to reflect whoever wears it. Boldly reimagined, it encompasses ribbed knits to classic tweeds and intricate fabrics woven with artificial fibres, lurex and silicone alongside natural gauze," the show notes shared. 
Drop Waists
A running theme on the runway: drop waists. Executed in everything from ankle-length dresses to low-slung miniskirts, the dropped-waist silhouette taps into the 1920s silhouettes that were popular in the early days of the Chanel house (low-rise skirt-trend).

Ornamental Dresses
A signature on Blazy's Chanel runway? Ornamental pieces that are instilled with a sense of joy. On the F/W 2026 runway, this resulted in embellished dresses in shades of celadon, bubblegum pink and sherbet.

Sarah Burton’s 3rd Givenchy runway show represents her intuitive portrayal of the strengths of women today.

NYFW: Michael Kors F/W 2026, Part 2

Witness the magic of Michael Kors his F/W 2026-27 Womenswear & Menswear collection, presented in New York. At the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center Michael Kors unveiled a collection that was not merely a retrospective - but a live archive of American elegance. Marking his 45th anniversary, Kors staged a celebration rooted in the very essence of his brand: New York sophistication, clean silhouettes and unapologetic glamour.

“I still feel like a kid,” he told the crowd at PJ Clarke’s after-party. Perhaps, but that ‘kid’ has built one of the most enduring empires in American fashion and tonight, he reminded everyone why. 

I also added this beautiful video below. It's almost 15 minutes and gives an excellent impression of the Michael Kors F/W 2026 collection. Be Inspired ......

Couture: Ziad Nakad F/W 2026 - Black is Beautiful (02)

 
In love with these stunning black evening gowns by Lebanese fashion designer Ziad Nakad. What a beauty, elegance, femininity and craftsmanship. With his Fall/Winter 2026 offering, Ziad Nakad refines his signature language of opulence through a lens of modern restraint. Presented as a lookbook, the collection explores the balance between couture-level embellishment and the evolving demands of contemporary dressing, where elegance is expressed with clarity rather than excess. Be Inspired ..... Earlier I wrote more blogs about Couture, SEE HERE

More about the fashion designer

Born of a Lebanese descent, Ziad Nakad knew from his very early teens that he was to work in fashion. Since his young years, he was attracted by eccentric fabrics, sheer embroideries and unconventional beadings which married his designs back then especially sketched for his family to wear. Encouraged by this genuine success, the talented young man decided to explore more his passion for fashion and embrace the dressmaking art with studies in the field. In parallel, he mastered the art of couture by working with many famous fashion designers in Beirut. In 1997, he turned his dream into a career when he was invited to take part to the Beirut International Fashion Show for Couture in Beirut and dressed renowned super models like Karen Mudler, NadjaUrman and Jennifer Driver.

His first fashion shows garnered much praise from critics and opened the doors to a whirling series of defiles sparking international interest for the designer. Such exposure led to another milestone to his career with his first international defile in Milano in 2001 followed suite by another one in Cannes in 2003… and that was only the beginning…

Celebrated for his ability to reveal the feminine side of every woman, Ziad Nakad is now a design reference in fashion shows in Lebanon, the Middle East, the Gulf, Europe, Asia, the Americas, and the world.
