I came across a feature on this current exhibition on the Wallpaper Magazine website (fantastic website about everything creative). I would LOVE to go! Looks fascinating!
This exhibition is organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai with the support of the House of CHANEL and is curated by Jean-Louis Froment, a well-known figure in the contemporary art and design worlds.
"CULTURE CHANEL" highlights the historical and creative dimensions of the House of CHANEL.
The exhibition interprets Mademoiselle Chanel's universe through her designs, her iconic pieces and her literary and artistic inspirations. Throughout her life Mademoiselle Chanel was close to the greatest artists of her time, including poets Jean Cocteau and Pierre Reverdy, painters Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali and composer Igor Stravinsky.
