Gabrielle Chanel: Timeless Yet Visionary Fashion

Gabrielle Chanel: Timeless Yet Visionary Fashion

I'm back with another blog post for you this week, something a little different, all about Gabrielle Chanel!

I visited the incredible Chanel exhibition at the V&A last week, it was like going on a visual journey into the life and work of Gabrielle Chanel, where the designer's legacy unfolds.?

I was lucky enough to go to the lunchtime lecture to learn all about the inspiration and sourcing of the exhibition, as well as Gabrielle's life. She was certainly a colourful character and created the most incredible life after an early upbringing in an orphanage. It was also great to hear that sustainability is a key consideration, one of the curator's explained they reused display cases from previous exhibitions where possible.?

Read the blog to discover more about Chanel and the lasting impact she's had on the way we dress today.

I'd love to know your thoughts if you manage to grab a cuppa and read the blog HERE.

I absolutely loved chatting with Tigz Rice and Penny Joyner-Platt (produced by Connor Wells) on the fabulous Diaries Of Badass Bosses Podcast recently.

We talked all about style, sustainability and the ups and downs of being a female entrepreneur.

I’d love you to watch/listen on the link HERE.
