On September 30th 2020, CHANEL celebrated the opening of the exhibition Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto, which will run until March 14th 2021 at the Palais Galliera, the City of Paris Fashion Museum.
Throughout the day, the House ambassadors Vanessa Paradis, Anna Mouglalis, Angèle, Caroline de Maigret, Charlotte Cardin, Gaspard Ulliel and Sébastien Tellier visited the exhibition. The actresses Karidja Touré, Lyna Khoudri and Diane Rouxel, the writer Anne Berest, the singer Clara Luciani as well as the dancer and choreographer Blanca Li were also present.
On the occasion of its reopening after major extension work, which notably saw the creation of a new set of rooms baptised the "Galeries Gabrielle Chanel", the Palais Galliera presents the first Parisian retrospective devoted to the work of Gabrielle Chanel, the visionary designer, who imagined a new allure and revolutionised the world of fashion, accessories, perfumes, beauty and fine jewellery.
This exhibition organised by the Palais Galliera with the support of CHANEL highlights the birth and evolution of Gabrielle Chanel's style, the characteristics of her work, the emergence of her codes and her contribution to the history of fashion. Drawn from the Patrimoine de CHANEL, the Palais Galliera collections and various international museums, this ensemble of more than 350 pieces, dating from 1910 to 1971, throws new light on the lasting influence of the designer who transformed women’s style forever.
