CHANEL MAJOR PATRON OF THE GRAND PALAIS As the exclusive patron of the Grand Palais since 2018, CHANEL is renewing its commitment to the Grand Palais Rmn for another five years, supporting its cultural and artistic program through the Grand Palais Rmn endowment fund. CHANEL now becomes the Major Patron of the Grand Palais. Since 2005, the Nave has hosted the House’s spectacular runway shows, becoming a creative playground for Karl Lagerfeld with iconic settings like a full-scale supermarket, a rocket and not to forget the beach setting. “The Grand Palais is an incredible machine that creates dreams. For us, it embodies the House of Chanel, just like Rue Cambon or Place Vendôme,” says Bruno Pavlovsky, President of CHANEL Fashion in a press release. “We’re proud to continue supporting this cultural landmark, which will enhance the influence of Paris and France, like the Eiffel Tower.” In 2018, CHANEL pledged to support the Grand Palais’ restoration. Now, with a new investment of 30 million euros, CHANEL will help fund its 2024-2028 artistic and cultural program. Didier Fusillier, President of the Grand Palais Rmn, highlights the restoration’s importance, noting that the Grand Palais will unveil its renewed splendor through an innovative cultural program. In April 2024, French President Emmanuel Macron inaugurated the entrance to the Nave, renamed “Gabrielle Chanel” in tribute to the House’s founder. CHANEL will return to the Grand Palais in October 2024 for its Spring-Summer 2025 Ready-to-Wear show, and the general public will be able to explore the new spaces in June 2025. A monumental curtain designed by Studio MTX will make the central space adaptable for various events, with workshops held at la Galerie du 19M for public participation. This project, alongside CHANEL’s commitment to other institutions like Palais Galliera and the Opéra national de Paris, reflects its dedication to preserving Paris’ cultural heritage. www.chanel.com
