There's always a story behind an artist's work‚ a reason for their creations. Fashion designers are no exception. And our Yim Yoonhee joins me today with one of the most influential fashion designers in history.
Good afternoon. Chanel‚ is a dominant brand in fashion.
Coco Chanel‚ the original designer‚ revolutionized woman's fashion with her creations‚ but like any other artist‚ there's a story to be told behind each work of art.
One of the most recognizable brands around the world‚… Chanel is high fashion. But behind the iconic black and white‚… the tweed jackets‚… and the quilted leather hand bags‚.. is a women‚ who like many others had an idea and was determined to bring her passion to fruition.
“The Culture Chanel show has been to 5 other countries and now we would like to show Seoul the history of Coco Chanel and share her vision with the Korean people.”
Gabrielle Chanel‚ nicknamed Coco‚ was born in Saumur‚ France to a family who sold working clothes and underwear around the markets. But she was often out in the fields‚ enjoying nature‚… which is where one of her first motifs entered her life. Chanel’s early works often featured an ear of wheat‚… an image that took her back to her youth.
It’s these memories and life experiences that were woven together to define and create the prolific designs of Chanel‚… such as the 6 years she spent at an orphanage. Early Chanel designs bear a stark resemblance to the uniforms she wore at the convent of Aubazine‚… a place where she became enamoured by the image of a star‚… soon to be another prominent motif.
The next couple decades of her life included friends such as Picasso and Misia Sert‚… along with other social elites. And it’s during this time that Chanel started her career in fashion‚ designing hats. Chanel’s romantic relationships brought her into contact with things like the equestrian life‚… another theme that would continue in her style book‚… along with tweed‚… a material that she would use to make one of the most iconic pieces of women’s fashion‚ the Chanel tweed jacket.
Gabrielle Chanel traveled around the world‚ being influenced by the history of the places she’d visit‚… but she also influenced the lives around her as well. Even into the modern day‚ Chanel became immortalized through works of artists like Andy Warhol.
Chanel went against the grain from the very beginning‚ but behind each creation is a story‚… of the designer and the trials and triumphs of her life.
Because this is an exhibition about fashion‚ and because it's Chanel‚ how is the layout of the exhibition in person?
I was very surprised when first walking in because it's very dark.
And very simplistic.
There are a bunch of glass containers in straight lines across the room‚ and honestly it was a little uncomfortable in the beginning‚ but as you learn more about Chanel‚ and her dream to make more modern and simplistic woman's fashion‚ the layout of the exhibition becomes a perfect fit for the designer.
Before Chanel‚ woman's fashion involved yards and yards of fabric‚ but she truly turned the tables by using less fabric‚ more form-flattering fabric‚ and making things like pants and suit jackets trendy for women.
Why did they hold it at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza? You were telling me there's a story to that as well.
The DDP was designed by Pritzker prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid‚ and when I was talking to the curator‚ he mentioned to me how they picked this location because it was a perfect fit for the simplistic and revolutionizing style of Chanel.
He said the architect's style is also very artistic‚ and cutting edge‚ which is what Chanel established in fashion as well.
So he felt the two artists were a perfect fit for ea
