Chanel
French Brand is launching the magazine Arts and Culture, which has revisited the work of the brand with artists and cultural institutions over the past five years. The project is led by Chanel’s Cultural Foundation and Yana Peel, president of the brand’s Arts, Culture and Heritage.
To publish the publication, Chanel took over Forex news in Bayswater, London, until June 28.
The first issue of Art and Culture magazine, also known as Volume. 1 will also be available in 20 bookstores around the world, including Amsterdam, Bangalore, Bangkok, Berlin, Glasgow, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Milan, New York, New York, Paris, Sao Paulo, Sell, Shanghai, Shanghai, Sidney, Sidney, Typhoon, Tokyo and Zurich.
The magazine will be carried by Forex News, tender books, Rococo News and magazines as well as reference points in London and mature magazines in Glasgow.
The magazine is a visual feast with multiple paper types in 250 pages produced in English. Chanel asked the creatives involved to share their insights into the future.
The release of Arts and Culture magazine is part of the brand’s global push to support print and bookstores. The magazine’s cover uses items from Gabrielle Chanel’s personal collection: a statue bust of a designer produced in 1921 by Jacques Lipchitz, wearing metal Chanel sunglasses from the brand’s fall 2002 show, photographed by Roe Ethridge.
Other images in the question include a white shell-like tray with a golden interior that houses a series of pearls and a bottle of Chanel No. 5 and colored shells, as well as a collage of lion prints, a subtle hint of the founder’s Zodiac symbol.
Chanel had a 100-year toast in the UK last week, enjoying 100 cups of food and ballet performances on the Pablo Picasso stage at the V&A East Storehouse in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford.
Chanel UK President Elizabeth Anglès D’Auriac told WWD: “Everything goes back to Gabrielle, there is still a special place in the UK because we are still sourcing Tweed and Cashmere from the UK.”
“When you start to be interested in the local environment, the client and the cultural environment, things become obvious and the ideas come to light. We always think about creation, creativity and craftsmanship – this is our legacy, but it’s also what we are now and in the future,” she said.
