Planning a trip to Seoul? Because this would be the perfect time as you get to visit the Culture Chanel exhibition that just opened at the city’s DDP
While previous installations of the Culture Chanel exhibition have been held in different corners of the world – Moscow, Shanghai and Paris – this year, it lands itself in Seoul, South Korea. More specifically, it opened on 30 August in the Zaha Hadid designed Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP).
The exhibition, titled The Sense of Places and meticulously curated by Jean-Louis Froment highlights the range of places or locations around the globe that greatly inspired the inimitable Gabrielle Chanel. Through 10 stages or sequences, the display of over 500 works – from books, perfumes, photographs and jewellery – aptly seeks to explore some of the most notable periods of Mademoiselle Chanel’s life story. Moving through the evocative exhibition, it’d be hard to not stand and marvel at the different aspects that shaped Gabrielle and at the same time gave shape to her signature collections season after season.
The opening night on 29 August saw a throng of over 700 stars, models and personalities alike, including Korea’s G-Dragon and 2NE1. Alongside them were models, Soo Joo Park, Mizuhara Kiko and French actress, Anna Mouglalis. If you’re in Korea or planning a trip soon, we say do it before October 5 and head to the DDP for a once in a lifetime visual feast into Chanel. As a perk, perhaps for some, the admission to this breathtaking experience is completely free.
The Sense of Places exhibition will run till October 5, 2014. For more information, please visit CULTURE CHANEL’s page.
