The UK’s first exhibition dedicated to the work of French fashion designer Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel has opened at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum (the V&A). It is a reworking of the original Chanel exhibition at the Palais Gallieria in Paris in 2020.
Through a dazzling display of Chanel’s creations through the years, from jersey fabric, tweed, embroidery and of course little black dresses, the exhibition gives a compelling insight into the life and work of Chanel and her lasting contribution to the world of fashion.
It’s of note that ticket sales have surpassed previous blockbuster exhibitions such as Christian Dior and Alexander McQueen, making Chanel the V&A’s fastest selling exhibition.
