Among these, you’ll find attire donned by Hollywood luminaries like Lauren Bacall and Marlene Dietrich.

The exhibition is carefully curated into 10 themed sections, each unraveling Chanel’s innovative use of fabric, silhouette, and construction throughout more than 200 outfits.

Her designs were a manifestation of her desires, anticipating and addressing the needs of the modern, independent woman of the 20th century. Iconic pieces like tweed jackets, tailored trousers, the little black dress, the 2.55 handbag, and the ever-popular tweed suit are all part of the exhibition.
