Chanel Celebrates Haute Couture with an Evening at the Palais Galliera

For the occasion, the Palais Galliera’s monumental columns and white stone architecture were complemented by tall, leafy palms and rows of elegant tables. Set with lush, summery floral arrangements (reminiscent of the Impressionist artworks from which the new collection drew inspiration), guests were treated to a spread, surrounded by beautiful details like floral china, crystal glassware, and gold embellishments.

The night paid tribute to both the couture collection and the maison’s current retrospective at the museum, “Gabrielle Chanel (1883-1971),” which presents a chronological recount of Mademoiselle Chanel’s journey to becoming a fashion icon. Guests in attendance like Soo Joo Park, Sofia Coppola, Daisy Edgar Jones, Chloe Wise, Iman Perez, and Lola Nicon enjoyed a meal of sumptuous bites and a performance by the Columbian musician Ela Minus.
