Mark your calendars: On December 3, CHANEL is bringing its 2024/25 Métiers d’art show to Hangzhou’s enchanting West Lake in China. This isn’t just any backdrop—it’s the same mystical landscape depicted on a 19th-century Coromandel screen that once graced Gabrielle Chanel’s apartment at 31 rue Cambon in Paris.
That screen wasn’t merely decoration for Coco; it was a wellspring of inspiration. Now, it’s sparking creativity once again. Renowned director Wim Wenders has crafted a short film that traverses Paris and Hangzhou, featuring CHANEL ambassador Tilda Swinton. This cinematic journey, both real and imagined, premieres in full on November 30.
Can’t jet to Hangzhou? No worries. The show will be streamed live on CHANEL’s platforms at 2 p.m. Paris time on December 3. It’s a fashion rendezvous you won’t want to miss.
