Dreaming of Chanel
The exhibition runs every day from August 26 to October 16, giving you 51 chances to ogle and dream about a Chanel collection of your very own.
Overview
Charlotte Smith has a wardrobe most can only wish for. Inherited from her godmother, Doris Darnell, Smith’s collection is valued at over a million dollars, containing thousands of pieces dated from 1790 through to 1995, with originals from Dior and Chanel.
The vast collection inspired Smith to author two books, Dreaming of Dior and Dreaming of Chanel, sharing the stories of the women who wore the clothes before they came into her possession. But words are not enough – reading about a Chanel suit is not the same as being able to see a Chanel suit in the flesh. And so the QUT Art Museum is bringing these stories to life with the Dreaming of Chanel exhibition. Curated by Nadia Buick, Dreaming of Chanel showcases 40 pieces from the Darnell collection, bringing Smith’s stories to life and giving lovers of fashion a glimpse into the collection that most can only dream of.
The exhibition runs every day from August 26 to October 16, giving you 51 chances to ogle and dream about a Chanel collection of your very own.
