For the Chanel Resort 2026 collection show at Villa d’Este, the Creation Studio captures the magical insouciance and glamour, bringing to life its carefree elegance and celebration.

Guided by the joy of getting dressed up to be noticed, the collection is also imbued with a more dance-inspired aspect. A supple disco vibe takes over a trouser suit – or evening pyjamas – with a very lightweight tweed swathed in multicolored sequins. Easy-going life and beautiful summer evenings are evoked with braid embroidered with beads and rhinestones and voluminous sleeves. The splendor of the Villa d’Este is equally reflected in the magnificence of its grounds, both by day and night. The magnolias, wisteria, camellias, rhododendrons and oleanders in the gardens inspire the lacework.

Strings of pearls, minaudières and big poolside bags, Hollywood movie star long gloves, black sunglasses, patent leather mules and silk foulard scarves tied in the hair, around the wrist or the ankle on sandals, contribute to a timeless allure, a bold attitude.

Luxurious and comfortable, the Cruise collection reflects the atmosphere of nonchalance, glamour and harmony that has made the Villa d’Este and Lake Como famous ever since the Renaissance.
