The first UK exhibition being held at the Victoria & Albert Museum is dedicated to the work of French couturière, Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel, charting the establishment of the House of Chanel and the evolution of her iconic design style which continues to influence the way women dress today.

More than 200 looks may be seen together for the first time, as well as accessories, perfumes and jewellery. The show explores Chanel's pioneering approach to fashion design, which paved the way for a new elegance and continues to influence the way women dress today.

Presented in partnership with American Friends of the Victoria & Albert Museum

Due to popular demand, this sold-out exhibition Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto has been extended until Sunday 10 March.
