Photo report by Yana Buzko

EN: Hi everyone! The French fashion house took over 3 levels of the Saatchi gallery in London. Me and Yana took a journey 'behind the scenes': we walked through re-creations of Coco's apartment, atelier, shop, fabric-lined sensory room, olfactory laboratory, French garden, workshops by Chanel artisans and many more. It's my pleasure to share amazing photos with you by Yana Buzko. Enjoy x 

RU: Выставка в Лондонской галереи Saatchi начинается с очереди желающих попасть внутрь. Но такая ситуация легко сглаживается камерным садом перед входом в саму галлерею, где и проходят минуты ожидания. Полевые цветы, пение птиц и еле уловимый аромат помогают забыть, что ты в центре суетливого Лондона. Три этажа галлереи претерпели большую трансформацию, рассказывая нам сюжеты развития модного дома Шанель. Проходя из имитации квартиры Коко попадаешь в ателье модного дома, на улицы Италии и Британии, в лабораторию, текстильную комнату ... Всего и не описать! Полностью погрузится в царящую атмосферу помогают мастер классы по созданию камелий, вышивки и изучению парфюма (по предварительной записи). А теперь предлагаю насладится фото от Яны Бузько.

TOTEMS  

The black line, the colour red, the camellia, the pearl, the wheat and the lucky numbers are all part of Chanel codes, symbols and icons created by Gabrielle Chanel and continued by Karl Lagerfeld. They have become emblematic of the house over the years. 

CHANEL #5 

The Chanel #5 laboratory experiments with alchemy of the revolutionary and mysterious composition of Chanel #5. Conceived by the perfumer Ernest Beaux and created in 1921, it is a complex formula made up of approximately 80 components including the famous 'aldehydes'. It was the first fragrance to ever bear the name of a fashion designer. 

LEMARIE, FEATHER AND FLOWER MAKER 

Founded in 1880, the specialist in feather and flower creations for luxury fashion houses produces handmade flower, such as Chanel's beloved camellias, over 40,000 every year. Crafted using metal forms or white-hot curling irons, the famous camellia contains a minimum of sixteen petals. Lemarie's expertise also encompasses dressmaking in its truly unique workshop where smocking, pleats and ruffles are elaborately handcrafted at the request of the most prestigious names I'm fashion. Lemarie joined Chanel's metiers d'art in 1996.

LESAGE, EMBRIDERER 

Lesage has been creating opulent embroidery requiring countless hours of work and exceptional skill for haute couture, ready-to-wear and accessories since its creation in 1924. Boasting 75,000 samples, the Lasage archives represent the biggest collection of embroidery in the world. To safeguard the future of the unique savour-faire, and to continue the perfection of its techniques, lesage opened its school of embroidery in 1992. It welcomes those who are passionate about embroidery, from all over the world. Lease became part of Chanel's Metiers D'art in 2002.

HAUTE COUTURE 

Haut couture embodies the spirit of Chanel: a unique savoir-faire, maintaining a tradition and attention to every detail that defines the exceptional quality and perfection of haute couture. It is also a thriving laboratory of ideas and creativity, and a powerful generator of dreams. Haute couture transcends time and is the ultimate union between craftsmanship and innovation.
