Chanel exhibition at the V&A — in pictures

The Victoria and Albert Museum has finally unveiled their long-awaited Chanel exhibition.

Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto is the first ever UK exhibition to examine the life of Coco Chanel, and it brings together 200 looks from the fashion icon, including those in the V&A's own collection.

The reviews of the Chanel exhibition have been positive, with particular praise being showered on the "eye-widening displays" and the "artful" spaces.

So here's a peek inside the year's biggest fashion exhibition.

Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto is at the V&A in London until 25 February 2024.
