Have you done your Chanel homework???

Chanel enthusiasts its time to pull up your socks…

With less than 48 hours to go until the  ‘Dallas Spectacular’, 

PurseBop asks you… do you know your Chanel Métiers d’ Art trivia?

In what year did the Métiers d’ Art shows begin?

How many petals are in the camellia flower now synonymous with the brand?

‘Lognon’ pleating is…? And when was the very first beige Chanel shoe with the black toecap created? (its now etched in our minds as the Chanel ballet flat...)

From buttons to petals …with a dash of feathers and pleats…this is your crash course to the ateliers that comprise the formidable Métiers d’ Art collections. During my Paris-Dallas homework today, I discovered this fantastic study guide in Vogue France.

Lets walk through the 10 years Chanel has celebrated this event...

“The first Métiers d'Art Chanel show was held in December 2002, in the Chanel haute couture salons on the rue Cambon. A year later, Chanel Cinq à Sept was shown, followed by the house's first collection in tribute to a particular city in December 2004, with Paris-Tokyo at Tokyo's Chanel Ginza building. The following year, Chanel showed in Paris-New York at the Chanel store on 57th Street, before heading a year later to the principality of Monaco with Paris-Monte Carlo at the Monaco Opéra. In 2007, Paris-Londres was shown at 9, Place Howick and in 2008, Paris' Théâtre Le Ranelagh was the setting for Paris-Moscou. The house looked to the Far East once again in 2009 for Paris-Shanghai at Barge, in Shanghai's Bund area, followed by Paris-Byzance in December 2010, at the Chanel haute couture salons. A year later the house looked to India for Paris-Bombay at the Grand Palais' Courbe gallery, before heading North in 2012, with Paris-Edimbourg at Linlithgow Palace, near Edinburgh, Scotland.”
