Description

This exhibition has now closed

This exhibition runs from Saturday 16th September 2023 to Sunday 10th March 2024.


The first UK exhibition dedicated to the work of French couturière, Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel, charting the establishment of the House of CHANEL and the evolution of her iconic design style.

Featuring over 200 looks seen together for the first time, as well as accessories, perfumes and jewellery, the exhibition explores Chanel's pioneering approach to fashion design, which paved the way for a new elegance and continues to influence the way women dress today.

Through ten themed sections, the exhibition explores Chanel's innovative approach to fabric, silhouette and construction, and will examine how she drafted a new framework for fashion in the twentieth century. Showcasing a stunning array of some of Chanel's most notable designs
from her sixty years in fashion, the exhibition analyses her professional career, the emergence and the development of her style, and her contribution to the history of fashion.

The exhibition also highlights Chanel's British inspirations, such as her adoption of tweed, partnerships with British textile firms and textile factory in Huddersfield.
