On April 18th 2019, CHANEL unveiled the fourth chapter of the “Mademoiselle Privé” exhibition at the West Bund Art Center in Shanghai. After London in 2015, Seoul in 2017 and Hong Kong in 2018, the “Mademoiselle Privé” exhibition is making a stopover in this modern and dynamic city from April 20th to June 2nd 2019, continuing an immersive journey through the origins of CHANEL’s creations capturing the charismatic personality, audacity and irreverent spirit of Mademoiselle Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld.
