Major Coco Chanel exhibition Just Opened In Paris

The Palais Galliera or Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris, Paris’ first permanent fashion museum, reopens its doors after renovations, where a retrospective devoted to Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel's fashion will be held, and will present several types of objects, including fashion magazines from Palais Galliera’s collections.

In the details, this Fashion Manifesto will be divided into two parts, each will take you on a trip into the designer’s iconic life and designs:

The first part is chronological. It recounts her early beginnings with a few emblematic pieces. You’ll trace the development of Chanel’s chic style: from the little black dresses and sporty models of the Roaring Twenties to the sophisticated dresses of the 1930s.

The second is a themed part where visitors will decipher her dress codes including the braided tweed suit, two-tone pumps, the 2.55 quilted bag and, of course, the costume and the fine jewelry that were intrinsic to the Chanel look.

The Fashion Manifesto covers an area of nearly 1500 m2, including the newly opened basement galleries, with more than 350 pieces from the Palais Galliera collections and Patrimoine de CHANEL.
