From the shores of Lake Como to sunny Singapore, Chanel’s Cruise 2026 collection is the ultimate resort wardrobe
The collection was first presented in April 2025 at Villa d’Este in Lake Como, known for its Renaissance architecture and starry guestbook signed by Hollywood’s most elite.
From sailor collars on ecru tweed coats to belted dressing gowns and striped polo shirts, Chanel’s casual daytime offerings strike the perfect balance between nostalgic elements of resort dressing and modern preferences. A wide selection of patent leather mules, oversized black sunglasses, woven raffia totes, and mini Chanel 25 bags in incandescent yellow complement the looks.
For the evening, there are monochromatic masterpieces in slinkier silhouettes, such as a leather dress which expose the back and shoulders with sculptural poise. Elegant and glamourous, these dramatic black and white dresses still glimmer against the dark of the night, as light reflects from the intricate beading and metallic detailing.
In October 2025, Chanel also staged an intimate presentation of its Cruise 2026 collection in The Raffles Hotel, Singapore–attended by Liu Wen, Tilda Swinton, and Gemini (Norawit Titicharoenrak).
