In the great historic city and tech capital of Hangzhou, the Chanel Pre-Fall 2025 Métiers d’Art collection is inspired by antique Coromandel screens that Gabrielle Chanel loved to surround herself with and that she put it up on the study walls in her apartment at 31, rue Cambon, in Paris.

Long, shouldered coats for day and night, in precious tweeds, satin, velvet or embroidered with little flowers, are enveloping and imbued with mystery. Duffle coats, short or oversized jackets are embellished with frogging made by Paloma, and lined with silk satin. The silkiness of the pockets, pagoda sleeves, mandarin collars and phosphorescent braids embroidered by Atelier Montex radiates with gentle luminescence. A refined luxury and meticulous detailing, both visible and hidden.

Straight-cut jackets belted at the waist, jackets buttoned at the side and tuxedo jackets lined in white satin are worn over skirts with pleats for added volume, wrap skirts, culottes and cropped trousers. The travelling theme is also reflected in the bags and knitwear, including an exceptional jumpsuit with Coromandel screen motifs that appears under suits. T-shirts, bustiers, cardigans, skirts, dresses, bermuda shorts and trousers in cotton or tweed knit fabrics, floral or two-tone, are worn layered with elegance. Multiple graphic pockets featuring on bags and the fronts of jackets, suggest letter-writing thanks to their envelope-like form.

Jade green, pink and sky blue evoke the brilliance of their lacquer. Faded blue jeans recall the ripples on the surface of the lake water, while black, brown and darker tones reference the wood of the panels and velvety steps into the night.

Through the luxury of its materials, the savoir-faire, the dynamics of its layering and the romanticism of its refinement, this Métiers d’art collection is an invitation to an inner journey around the world.
