Going to Seoul? Love Chanel? You’re going to want to visit the Mademoiselle Privé exhibition before it closes in a week.
CHANEL MADEMOISELLE PRIVÉ SEOUL
23rd June — 19 July 2017
D Museum, Seoul
If you’re planning a quick trip there (or you have friends who are going), here are 5 things to do and not do at Chanel’s Mademoiselle Privé exhibition in Seoul.
DO: 1) Take photos of yourself and friends in the multi-coloured glass wall outside the D Museum. No filtering required!!! (I took around 30 shots here…)
DON’T: 1) Rush into the exhibition without admiring the wrapping around the building. Take photos with the wallpaper and even poster artwork…because everything’s so pretty…
DO: 2) Stop and wait for the digital animations to appear in the recreation of Gabrielle Chanel’s first boutique. For example, the mirror appears white and blank when you first see it; then Gabrielle starts walking out!!! Just be patient.
DON’T: 2) Delete the Mademoiselle Privé app from your phone after you book your tickets. The app is still useful. Hold it in front of the studio door inside the exhibition and watch Gabrielle appear on your screen! It’s as though she’s right there in the studio doing work.
DO: 3) Smell every individual ingredient in the Chanel N°5 room. After all, that’s what you’re there for. Also, it’s actually really interesting!!!
DON’T: 3) There’s a bucket of chains at the end of the curtain of fabrics. Don’t even think of taking a strand. There’s a guard standing right there watching it like a hawk. In fact, I wouldn’t even recommend touching it (though you’ll be tempted to).
DO: 4) Try and spot and match the outfits worn by the celebrities with what’s on display. It’s all there. Eg. That yellow piece was worn by Vanessa Paradis in her photo. Fun fact: all these artistic pictures were taken by Karl Lagerfeld.
DON’T: 4) Take any photos from the room of celebrity photos! You’ll be thinking… oh wow, so many! They won’t notice if one is gone. WRONG! That’s stealing, and be warned, there are cameras everywhere.
DO: 5) Make it all the way to the end of the exhibition and watch the film by Karl Lagerfeld featuring Kristen Stewart and Geraldine Chaplin (shown above portraying Coco Chanel. Fun fact: she’s the daughter of Charlie Chaplin!).
DON’T: 5) Just watch the film… pay attention to the outfits worn by the actresses! Geraldine Chaplin’s Chanel character, in particular, wears the most delightful cardigans with brooches, matched with strings of pearls and embellished cuffs! Great style advice for revamping your wardrobe.
And here’s a video walk-through of the exhibition:
Admission to the exhibition is free, but booking is required through the Mademoiselle Privé app. Download it on iTunes and GooglePlay.
