In the first room, we were greeted by coco's first boutique and her hat designs. A soft woman’s voice thinking out loud and curating the journey was filling up the place with laughter and light.“My hats were designed to be light, not heavied by feathers, birds and fruits..."
Next room was the room of totems, they each signified an area or an item that inspired Chanel in her creations, from lucky numbers to pearls and strangely enough wheat.
The room than continued into his huge labyrinth made out of different fabrics. White sheets were suspended just under the ceiling and were hung down to create a maze of secret spaces, sounds and light installations. The first part of the room was quite pleasant to wander around and get lost in the fabrics, the second part however was an imitation of the first part, the difference being the colour of the sheets - they were black. Getting lost in there would be quite scary.Exiting the room complex on the bottom floor, we followed the arrows upstairs to a dimly lit exhibition space with black floors walls and ceiling. Down the centre of this longitudinal room (reference to the art history in 2nd year for those who can remember ;D) handmade haute couture dresses were exhibited on see though mannequins, lit with bright white light. The details on these dresses were absolutely stunning. Decorated with feathers, beads and embroidery, they were really captivating.
In the end we managed to get into a pre-booked workshop on Chanel No°5 perfume, because some of the people didn’t show up, how amazing is that. At the workshop we (me and Joey, the friend who was with me) got to explore the fragrances that come together to create the iconic perfume and also got our own bottle of the perfume, which I now use almost every day.
