Mademoiselle Privé at the Saatchi Gallery
In 1932, Gabrielle Chanel presented her one and only High Jewellery collection in Paris. It was never exhibited in London because of British customs legislation… Ninety three years later, Chanel presents new editions of these pieces at the Saatchi Gallery as part of the “Mademoiselle Privé” exhibition devoted to the house.
Staged by: Karl Lagerfeld.
From October 13th to November 1st 2015.
