A wonderful surprise event when visiting London a while back. As events go, its was quite stunning. It was great to speak to members of the Chanel team and understand the construction of garments and the painstaking detail that goes into each and every garment. Inspiration behind the collection and its application into details were explained in detail and a first for me at an exhibition, we were allowed to touch the garments! Other designers take note! This was great for me as an educator, as i can explain about these process to my students so they understand construction better.
I also found it very interesting that they were moving towards more sustainable practices. The 'leather used for their millinery and shoe accessories was made from pineapple fibres. As someone who has a key interest in ecological sustainable practices in fashion, its great to see the larger companies moving towards more eco ways of working.
