Chanel & The Little Black Jacket was an exhibit that debuted in the city of Tokyo back in March, as a collection of 113 images that featured the world's top tastemakers in every element of life and entertainment. The exhibit's next destination will be in London...expected sometime in the Fall but for those of us who cannot visit it in person, Chanel was nice enough to release the collection for virtual visitation.
Riccardo Tisci
Joan Smalls
Zhang Ziyi
Theophilus London
Uma Thurman
Kirsten Mcmenamy
Aymeline Valade
Kanye West
I hope people, specifically people like myself who come from small towns or even inner city kids, can understand how significant it is for both Theophilus London & Kanye West to be featured in this exhibit...because it is major. One was a kid from Brooklyn and one was a kid from the southside of Chicago but now, they are both musical greats featured in a Chanel exhibit. That's astounding and provides living proof that anything is possible as long as you believe and persevere. Anything.
