GABRIELLE CHANEL. FASHION MANIFESTO Opened in Shanghai

The Power Station of Art (PSA)  will present the exhibition Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto, co-organized by the Palais Galliera, Fashion Museum of Paris, Paris Musées, from July 12th to November 24th, 2024. This exhibition is the first retrospective devoted to the work of Gabrielle Chanel in China, with the exclusive support of CHANEL. The exhibition will be designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R), while Jumping He will be the graphic designer.

In the early twentieth century, the time when excessively decorative styles dominated the world of western women’s fashion, Gabrielle Chanel created garments characterised by minimalism and precision. She revolutionised the world of Haute Couture, liberating the bodies of her contemporaries with what amounted to a fashion manifesto.

This exhibition sheds a new light on the timeless style created by Gabrielle Chanel. It shows how the techniques and materials used by the “couturière” remain the tangible proof of her choices and her radical positions.<
