Chanel’s Hangzhou 2024/25 Métiers d’art Show on December 3, 2024

Tilda Swinton also touched down in China, in advance of Chanel’s Hangzhou 2024/25 Métiers d’art show “on the mythical West Lake” on December 3. Hangzhou is located 125 miles south of Shanghai.

A UNESCO World Heritage site since 2011, West Lake is featured on the 19th-century Coromandel lacquer screen in Gabrielle Chanel’s office at 31 Rue Cambon in Paris. As the brand pointed out to press, this screen has been a "source of dream and creativity, fuelling the couturière’s imagination", undiminished by the fact that Coco Chanel never visited China.

German filmmaker and author ‘Wim’ Wenders, a major figure in New German Cinema, joined the project and Chanel ambassador Tilda Swinton in a short film where Wenders follows Swinton as she explores Coco Chanel’s office on Rue Cambon. It’s here where she discovers the treasured Chinese screen that so inspired the legendary designer, before the creative team journeys to the iconic lake in China. "A true invitation to travel, both in reality and with the imagination, to be fully unveiled on November 30, 2024," noted the brand.
