‘Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto’ offers a comprehensive and eye-opening look at the iconic designer.
, adding 120 rare items that chart the designer’s career from her first millinery boutique on Rue Cambon in 1910 to global prominence and, eventually, her final collection, presented weeks after her death in 1971.The showcase, however, begins some years before that: in the first room, an extended timeline lays out the major milestones of Chanel’s life, starting from her birth in 1883.
The first garment we encounter, in a room with projections designed to mimic the bustle of Rue Cambon, is one of the brand’s earliest surviving pieces: a marinière blouse from 1916, made from fine-gauge silk jersey, which is startling in its modernity. Beside it, you’ll find an early example of one of Chanel’s hats, too, as well as faded footage of one of her clients strolling down the Champs-Élysées in her designs.
