Drawings by Jean Cocteau and Christian Bérard evoke the creative spirits in Chanel's circle at that time, offering an allegory of her life as a designer.

Vermeil boxes
"On the dressing table were the vermeil boxes given to her by the Duke of Westminster, brushes, and the chamois cloth with her jewelry for the day."

In 1937, François Kollar realized a photoshoot of Gabrielle Chanel in her suite at the Ritz Paris. Published for the first time in 1937, the picture was chosen to illustrate the only Chanel n° 5 perfume advertisement, that was embodied by the designer herself.

Quote by Gabrielle Chanel

Chanel has opened a new fashion boutique at 47, rue Vieille du Temple in the unique setting of the Hôtel Amelot de Bisseuil.

The space has a raw edge, with glass, corten steel and wood underscoring the historic monument’s mineral and radical atmosphere. The boutique showcase the Ready-to-Wear, accessory et shoes from the Cruise and Fall-Winter collections.
