Chanel has revealed the venue for its next Métiers d’Art 2025/26 exhibition. Matthieu Blazy, the newly appointed creative director of the company, has selected New York City for his inaugural show showcasing the house's handcrafted expertise under his leadership.

The Métiers d’Art 2025/26 exhibition by Chanel is scheduled for December 2, 2025. The press statement stated that this decision "continues the historical connection between Chanel and New York since the 1930s, beginning with Gabrielle Chanel's initial transatlantic journeys to the Paris-New York Métiers d’Art collection exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2018."

“I am pleased that Blazy has selected New York for his inaugural Métiers d’Art show,” stated Bruno Pavlovsky, president of fashion activities at Chanel. “He will harmonize the city's creative energy, which he knows intimately, with the house's exceptional expertise.”

Blazy dedicated several years to New York while collaborating with Calvin Klein, serving on the design team under Raf Simons from 2016 to 2019.

The exact venue of the event has not yet been disclosed.
