Maison Michel for the CHANEL Cruise 2026/27 collection.
At the heart of millinery savoir-faire, where lightness meets subtle movement.

Asymmetrical nylon filaments, mounted on cotton spheres and delicately punctuated with crystalline accents, form a composition that captures the light while adorning the hair. Set on a barrette, the piece balances precision and spontaneity.

A study of material, where technique gives rise to a sculptural accessory of singular refinement.

An expression of millinery savoir-faire, this bow with reimagined proportions explores volume with precision and control.

Crafted in silk faille and mounted on a comb, the fabric is shaped through a reinvented pattern. Finishes structure the material, while a central tie reveals its core, gathering the piece into a sculptural volume.

Between structure and suppleness, a piece where technique reveals form.

Between straw, textile, and innovation, each piece reflects a study of form, material, and construction inherent to millinery expertise.

Crafted in sewn straw — an emblematic savoir-faire of the House — this spiked swim cap explores volume through straw origami fins, created at varying scales and assembled by hand. Alternating tones of straw enhance relief and movement.

The Iconics – Act III: The Hat as Signature

There are pieces that stand the test of time, and others that shape it. At Maison Michel, the hat belongs to the latter category: it does not simply complete a silhouette—it reveals it, elevates it, tells its story.

For the final act of its Les Iconiques campaign, the Maison continues its exploration of style as a territory of expression. This season, the perspective shifts: the hat finds new incarnations. A plurality of faces, attitudes, and temperaments, all crowned with the same piece—echoing an identity that can be endlessly reinterpreted.

Each personality lends the hat its own energy, movement, and mystery. The hat asserts itself as the defining element of style—a bold punctuation, a singular breath within the composition of an allure.

Through these incarnations, Maison Michel offers a vision of contemporary style: free, fluid, instinctive. A way of telling one’s story without words, simply through presence and allure.

The Iconics – Act III thus celebrates the power of an object that has become a language. One form, a multitude of interpretations. A signature that is infinitely personal.

An encounter between a hat… and those who bring it to life.
