It’s Chanel O’Clock In New York City

From 5th Avenue to the Tribeca Film Festival, good luck escaping the hottest brand in the world.

by Kevin LeBlanc

After vacuum-sealing our sweaters and dusting off our flip flops, summer is here, and with it comes the arrival of Pre-Fall collections (confusing language, we know). There are what feels like too many options to shop and peruse, but we’ve whittled down the news you need to know. From campaigns in New York to exclusive Napoleon jackets from Ann Demeulemeester in Los Angeles, see what we’re shopping, reading, watching, and looking forward to in the world of fashion below.

Is Jacob Elordi The Next Bond?

His Bleu de Chanel campaign, The Chase, is an Alfonso Cuaron-directed two-minute thriller that has Elordi fighting against a beautiful woman (tough job, we know) for a grasp of the new Bleu de Chanel L’Exclusif. It’s the most action-star role of his career to date, and could be a convincing next step for the James Bond audition process.

Chanel Loves New York

The brand presented its Métiers d’Art show in December of last year in an abandoned subway station, and now the collection is finally making its way into stores. The accompanying campaign shot by Craig McDean is an expression of joy in the city, from the Staten Island Ferry to newsstands to the train.

Chanel also teamed up with Bergdorf Goodman for another train-loving installation in the classic 5th Avenue windows, Bergdorf is giving New Yorkers an exclusive first look at the collection before its global launch (where else?).

And for those who already have their sights set East, worry not: Chanel’s seasonal boutique in the Hamptons is back on Newtown Lane in East Hampton. All the best pieces from Spring/Summer 2026 in addition to the already-almost-sold-out Coco Beach collection will be available for those taking the summer away from the city.

We’re not done yet: Chanel’s annual Tribeca Film Festival programming is around the corner, and they announced their third annual Through Her Lens conversation will feature Academy Award nominee and native New Yorker Teyana Taylor. If you’re in the city for the festival, you can catch her in conversation on June 7.
