Installed on all three floors of the Gallery, the exhibition brings to mind, says Saatchi Gallery, “the House’s essential elements: audacity, freedom and innovation whether it is the history of Gabrielle Chanel’s inspirations or Karl Lagerfeld‘s inimitable take on CHANEL’s codes, symbols and icons.” A corresponding app allows visitors to witness a total inside look to the history of the luxury Maison.

“We felt we wanted, and needed, to say something about what goes on behind the scenes; about creativity,” commented Chanel CEO Bruno Pavlovsky. “When you see Chanel, you see Mademoiselle, you see her apartment, you see the magnificent shows, but you don’t see much about what’s happening behind the scenes. We felt it was a good time for the brand to give away some secrets.”
