CHANEL takes part in the exhibition “Hidden Treasures, 250 Years of Franco-American Luxury Stories” presented by Comité Colbert at The Shed, New York, from 26ᵗʰ to 31ˢᵗ May 2026. The exhibition highlights the artistic and cultural links between France and United States through historic exchanges between 65 French luxury houses and cultural institutions, and America. Divided in five chapters, the exhibition is a journey through time thanks to objects and art pieces that are emblematic of the French-American artistic dialogue, exchanges that left their mark on both countries’ art, diplomacies, identities and pop cultures. CHANEL is featured in the exhibition’s “The Rise of Icons” chapter, illustrating the close ties between the House and cinema and its American icons. The House presents look 66 from the CHANEL Métiers d’art 2026 collection by Matthieu Blazy, unveiled last December in New York. This look features the poster for Mervyn LeRoy’s 1931 film 𝘛𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘕𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 printed on a midi skirt and a coat, paying tribute to the links between CHANEL and Hollywood; Gabrielle Chanel had, in fact, created the costumes for the film’s leading actress, Gloria Swanson. A stand dedicated to the story of the legendary CHANEL N°5 fragrance worn by Marilyn Monroe further highlights the long-standing relationship between CHANEL, American movie stars and pop culture. The exhibition “Hidden Treasures, 250 Years of Franco-American Luxury Stories” is open to visitors by booking via The Shed’s website. 𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵: 𝘋𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘥 𝘍𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘪
