The Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art – the Power Station of Art (PSA), in collaboration with the Palais Galliera Paris, presents the exhibition “Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto” from July 12th to November 24th, 2024, with the exclusive support of Chanel. This exhibition marks the first retrospective of Gabrielle Chanel’s work in China, featuring more than 200 pieces from the Palais Galliera collections, perfectly illustrating the designer’s professional career, the development of her style, and her contribution to the history of fashion.
“Gabrielle Chanel devoted her long life to creating, perfecting, and promoting a new kind of elegance based on freedom of movement, a natural, relaxed attitude, a subtle elegance free from extravagance, a timeless style for a new kind of woman,” said Miren Arzalluz, the director of the Palais Galliera Paris. “This was her fashion manifesto—an inescapable heritage that is more relevant than ever in today’s world.”
ARTIK Studio is delighted to have captured the designer’s timeless creations across various fields. Through our lens, we aimed to bring out the essence of Gabrielle Chanel’s vision and the enduring appeal of her work. This project allowed us to explore the intricate details and innovative elements that define Chanel’s legacy. Each photograph is a testament to the artistry and meticulous craftsmanship that go into creating these iconic pieces.
Our team at ARTIK Studio worked closely with the Chanel team to ensure that every shot not only highlights the aesthetic beauty of Chanel’s creations but also conveys the story behind each piece. We believe that our photography will provide a fresh perspective on Gabrielle Chanel’s contributions to fashion and help viewers appreciate the depth and breadth of her influence.
This collaboration has been an incredible journey for us. We are honoured to be part of such a significant exhibition that celebrates the life and work of one of the most influential designers in fashion history. We invite everyone to visit the exhibition and experience the timeless elegance of Gabrielle Chanel through our photographs.
