Bergdorf Goodman Wants You To Know The Secrets Behind Chanel

 

If you missed it over the weekend- the second floor at Bergdorf Goodman will feature "Secrets of the Chanel Jacket," an installation of archive jackets, handbags and accessories! "The exhibit tells the story of Mademoiselle Chanel's iconic creations, outlining the label's evolution from fluid jersey designs, to tweed and button and gold chain detailing." The installation aims to reveal the history behind the brand and draw a deeper connection between Coco and the way Karl Lagerfeld has beautifully expanded on her vision. 

On display will be a photo exhibit of Coco Chanel, Vanessa Paradis, Romy Schneider, Anna Mouglalis and Barbie wearing the Chanel jacket, in addition to archive selections of shoes and handbags from Coco Chanel's personal collection. Visitors can also get a glimpse of the original 1957 two toned slingback heel in beige and black. 

If interested, head on over there today because the exhibit ends This evening (October 19th).  Also through October 19, three of the department store's windows will house a Chanel tribute with oversized iconic items like the Chanel No. 5 bottle and the quilted jacket.
