The Mint Museum Randolph will present the iconic haute couture designs of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel in the special exhibition Chanel: Designs for the Modern Woman. Sponsored by U.S Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management, the exhibition will include works that have never before been on public view.

Among the major designers who shaped the landscape of women’s fashion in the 20th century, Coco Chanel (1883-1971) remains a pivotal figure. She pioneered a new look for women in the early 1900s, creating clothes that were primarily comfortable, yet lasting in both their construction and style. Replacing the restrictive corset with casual elegance, her fashion repertoire included simple suits and dresses, women’s trousers, costume jewelry, and perfume.

Chanel: Designs for the Modern Woman will present works dating from the 1920s to the present day, augmented by a selection of accessories, sketches, and other fashion-related materials. The exhibition is drawn entirely from the Mint’s Historic Costume & Fashionable Dress collection, which includes more than 50 designs from the House of Chanel.
