ICYMI, Chanel just debuted its cruise 26/27 collection in Biarritz, a seaside town on the Basque Coast. It’s far from the brand’s Parisian headquarters, but it has deep historical significance. Gabrielle Chanel chose Biarritz to open her couture house in 1915. Now, 111 years later, Matthieu Blazy used it as the backdrop of his first Cruise Collection.

Using the sun, sea, and sand as motifs, Chanel sent models down the runway wearing silk foulards, “rustling” raffia skirts, and cotton-canvas suiting. The accompanying beauty look wasn’t far behind—think dewy, sun-kissed skin, windswept hair, and shimmering, mermaid-inspired manicures.
