The Culture Chanel Exhibit Curates the Brand's Iconic History
Michael Hemsworth — March 22, 2013 — Luxury
When we think about high fashion houses, Chanel is usually within the top five that come to mind and the Culture Chanel exhibit at the Guangzhou Opera House in China looks to celebrate the iconic brand's history. Instead of focusing on Coco Chanel herself or current designer Karl Lagerfeld, the Culture Chanel exhibit seamlessly blends all of the designs, sketches and memorabilia into one comprehensive collection that traces the legacy from the past to the present.
The collection of captures attached here are by Jonathan Leijonhufvud, who helps to identify focal points of the exhibit and give us a better understanding of what's at work. What's more, the Culture Chanel exhibit features an expansive stage backdrop painted by the infamous Pablo Picasso in 1924, which helps to really instill the notion that Chanel isn't just clothing; it's art.
