Gabrielle Chasnel, the must catholic orphan, the singing mademoiselle de cabaret, nicknamed after her missing pussycat, mistress of Balsan, secret love of Capel, french empire, sartorial elegance icon and everlasting shelter of the most creative german queen.
I happened to visit the travelling exhibition "Culture Chanel" today, and I definitely take all comfort in writing this: That uninspiring, absolutely droughty event did not do any bit of justice to the eternal Coco Chanel. Now I don't know if this is the due way to exhibit a legend, but the MOCA Shanghai failed on every possible level to pay tribute to one of the greatest fashion influence of the century. An exhibition deadpan as the stuff they dare to call baguette in this town.
Sorry, no tribute to that one.
