Chanel’s Little Black Jacket Exhibit (Seoul)

This weekend I attended the world touring exhibit The Little Black Jacket by iconic brand Chanel. From Dec 1st-16th, the exhibit showcased photos of celebrities taken by Karl Lagerfeld.

For the Seoul exhibit opening, many Korean celebrities attended including Kpop power group 2NE1’s leader CL, Taecyeon of 2pm and Sohee of Wonder Girls.

The showcase was classy and sophisticated. The dim light exhibit hall gave the area an iconic aura. It was like we stepped into Coco Chanel’s own room. And speaking of the legendary designer, a gigantic self portrait of her was hung in the very center of the hall, as if she gave approval for every detail there.

My favorite photos were one model in a Japanese girl outfit. It was very youthful but dark. As if she had demons to fight in the night. Reminded me of the movie Sucker Punch. Of course the Anna Wintor photo of her back turned was pretty cool! I also really enjoy fashion goddess Sarah Jessica Parker’s photo where she donned a crown. Very befitting.
For some reason the most popular picture there was of a model with a see through shirt on. So many gathered around that photo….lol

A reallly light hearted piece was the Yoko Ono montage. It included old footage of her “modeling” Chanel clothing. It was quite a treat.

After viewing all visitors were given a free poster copy of one of the exhibit photos. I got a really cool one from a woman named Anna Dellal who’s a model/drummer.
