Paris – Venise

Venice was a revelation for Gabrielle Chanel. It changed her life. Shattered by the death of her lover Boy Capel, she drew strength from the bustling energy of this richly contrasted city and its mix of people and influences from around the world. There, she discovered a taste for the treasures of Byzantine and Baroque art that caught her eye and became a major source of inspiration for her style. Paris-Venise evokes this legendary, captivating city that marks the boundary between East and West.
