Chanel is bringing a playful perspective to winter dressing with its COCO NEIGE 2026/27 collection, blending technical ski wear, retro sportswear and the French fashion house’s signature sophistication. The seasonal capsule arrives with a campaign photographed by Julien Martinez Leclerc, capturing a wardrobe designed for life on and off the slopes.

Under the creative direction of Matthieu Blazy, the collection reimagines alpine style through relaxed silhouettes, bold color and nostalgic details. Vivid red takes center stage alongside Chanel’s familiar black, white and beige palette, while graphic two-tone stripes and colorful checked tweeds add a fresh dimension to traditional winter dressing.

Texture plays a major role throughout the collection. Shearling, jersey, cashmere and wool bring warmth to the seasonal lineup, while lined mules inspired by men’s loafers, cozy mittens and chapkas complete the cold-weather accessories. Penguins and polar bears also appear throughout the designs, introducing a whimsical touch that balances the collection’s technical functionality with Chanel’s refined aesthetic.

Designed to transition seamlessly from the ski slopes to chalet dinners and city streets, COCO NEIGE 2026/27 embraces versatility without sacrificing style. The collection reflects a more relaxed, sometimes boyish approach to dressing, while maintaining the polished construction and distinctive house codes that define Chanel.

The campaign features models Elodie Guipaud, Feng Jiao Long and Lia Marie Mielke, bringing the collection’s retro-inspired mountain wardrobe to life. From statement outerwear to playful accessories, the imagery captures a winter season where performance and luxury coexist.

COCO NEIGE is one of two seasonal capsules Chanel introduces annually, alongside COCO BEACH. For 2026/27, the house delivers a fresh interpretation of alpine fashion, proving that technical winter essentials can carry the same personality and elegance as a carefully styled city wardrobe.

With its combination of vibrant color, nostalgic sportswear references and signature Chanel sophistication, the collection makes a case for taking personal style beyond the slopes.
