Past Event
Join us for a conversation between Oriole Cullen, Senior Curator of Fashion at the V&A, and Justine Picardie, Chanel biographer, to explore the origins of Chanel’s links with Britain that began in the early 1920s, and the creation of her sartorial vision that redefined modernity and independence for women around the world.
This talk will be held on Zoom and all ticket holders will receive a link to join the morning of the event. It will also be recorded for those not able to join live.
