Yesterday I showed you what me and my friends wore to the Chanel exhibition in The Hague. Let’s look at the actual exhibition itself. 

The exhibition chronicles the life of Coco Chanel and her achievements as a design. Above are some of her designs from the 30s.

Coco Chanel is also famous for her little black dress. Here are a number of her creations. Which model is your favorite?

We also had the opportunity to channel a bit of Coco Chanel. Some of her iconic jackets were available for a special photo shoot. Lighting was already setup. All we had to do is wear the jackets and take our own photos. Here are the results!
