The Little Black Jacket

This afternoon, far away from our usual playground, we stepped into the world of Chanel. After Tokyo, New York, London, Paris, Berlin and Milan , the photographic exhibition dedicated to Karl Lagerfeld’s latest book, The Little Black Jacket: CHANEL’s classic revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld opened on April 25th at the Venue, Downtown Dubai.

It was Luella's, first photographic exhibition. The specially constructed space with dark set up, focused lighting and elegant atmosphere was intriguing for a four years old. The exhibit showcased 109 portraits, original and new, of celebrities wearing the iconic jacket photographed by Karl Lagerfeld and styled by Mrs Roitfeld, (former editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris ). The content of the exhibit is esthetically beautiful and it's creatively amazing how versatile and timeless the Chanel jacket can be.

Not to be missed! The exhibition will be open until Saturday May 11th 2013, and admission is free. As a treat you will go home with three large scale posters as gift souvenir. It made my girl very happy.
