Curators have brought together nearly 200 outfits seen together for the first time, charting Chanel’s long career from the opening of her millinery boutique in Paris in 1910 to her final collection in 1971. Highlights include outfits created for Hollywood stars Lauren Bacall and Marlene Dietrich, and a mirrored room filled from floor to ceiling with a stunning display of Chanel’s signature suits. “Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto” opens on Saturday, and runs until Feb. 25.
