All things Black

Framed on the backdrop of Chelsea’s Sloane Street, The Saatchi Gallery hosts Chanel’s ‘Little Black Jacket’ Exhibition, which emulates and celebrates all that is iconic and timeless of Chanel as a brand. The location of the exhibition, with its architectural and ageless beauty runs parallel to that of Chanel’s classic tailored pieces.

The Exhibition displays 113 photographs of Chanel's favourite muses wearing the famed garment in their own way reflecting the versatility of the iconic little black jacket. Each model, singer, actress and designer adapts the jacket to echo their own personal style and personality- wore as a cape by singer Lily Allen, customized and studded on Chanel's own studio director Virginie Viard and manipulated into a vest on model Edie Campbell.  Lagerfeld's photographs typify the little black jacket they are classic through the use of black and white, chic and diverse- every image identifies a new composition of both the jacket itself and the photographic display. A truly inspirational collection of photographs and with the added bonus of gaining three free posters and sighting Pierce Brosnan from the back- what more could you want.
