As a Member, we invite you to this special preview of Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto. 

Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto is the first exhibition in Australia to focus exclusively on the significant contribution to twentieth-century fashion culture by the renowned French couturière Gabrielle Chanel (1883–1971).

Curated by the Palais Galliera, Paris and presented in partnership with the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, the exhibition features over 100 outfits as well as jewellery, accessories, cosmetics and perfumes. Key designs are drawn from the rich holdings of the Palais Galliera and the Patrimoine de CHANEL, the heritage collections of the fashion house in Paris. These are complemented by works from public museums, including the NGV, and further private collections, creating this rare opportunity to see a comprehensive display of Gabrielle Chanel’s works from the full span of her long career.

Before attending the preview, learn more at an exclusive Members Exhibition Introduction with NGV Senior Curator Dr Miranda Wallace at 1pm, prior to the preview commencing at 2pm.

Separate ticket required for preview and talk.
