Chanel Fashion Manifesto show coming to Australia for NGV summer blockbuster Alyx Gorman
Most Australians are likely to be familiar with Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, or at least with the luxury fashion empire that bears her name. But the National Gallery of Victoria’s major summer exhibition for 2021, Gabrielle Chanel: Fashion Manifesto, aims to throw that familiarity into doubt.
That is exactly what the show did last year when it made its debut at the Palais Galliera in Paris. Fashion Manifesto was the first pandemic-era exhibition for the venerable fashion museum, which had reopened after extensive renovations. It was also the first large-scale retrospective of Chanel’s work in the city she mostly called home.
“At the end of the day she invented different versions of herself and it is always difficult to get the right facts.”
Arzalluz says excluding all but that single detail of Chanel’s life, from her traumatic childhood to her many lovers, “was not a way to avoid problems, because we haven’t”.
Instead, the show “is really about her work”. It is the story of this work, not the woman, that Arzalluz hopes will yield the real surprises.
“We feel, even ourselves, that most people have a very superficial knowledge of her work. And we sort of repeat the same cliches … there is a black dress and suit. But it’s so much more than that, and so much more diverse and sophisticated and beautiful.”

Most Australians have little idea of the traditional Country on which they live, let alone the stories of the cultures who have been there for thousands of years.
A campaign launched this week called Connect to Country is trying to change that, encouraging non-Indigenous Australians to discover with a brand, old perspective the land they call home.
The campaign has been created by Aboriginal creative consultancy Creative x in partnership with Facebook, and comes in time for NAIDOC Week, the annual celebration of the culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
This year s NAIDOC theme is Heal Country! calling for greater protections for land, water and Aboriginal sacred sites and cultural heritage.
