Objects Spring Summer 2026 Jacket (Wool, Beige, Brown & Black) by Chanel

This week we are thinking about what to wear to an art fair or Culturally Curious weekend breaks, and Matthieu Blazy’s first Chanel collection is a very compelling place to start. This jacket, from the Spring Summer 2026 collection, carries the ease and assurance needed for a day drifting between booths, private views and artful conversations. It draws on the enduring appeal of Chanel tweed,with Blazy adding a lighter, more fluid attitude that gives the piece a distinctly modern inflection.
