Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto at The Kensington Hotel
Inspired by the driving passion of Gabrielle Coco Chanel, The Kensington celebrates her creativity, originality and intelligence through installation and conversation, in food and in drink.
“Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.”
Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel
The legacy of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel is one of style, elegance and innovation. Rising from a humble background, this young woman created a new life for herself and, in doing so, changed everything around her. A visionary fashion designer, she brought couture to the people and introduced the world to the little black dress. Gracing the cover of Vogue in 1926, it was nothing short of a cultural revolution; embodying luxury, simplicity and comfort.
These very same threads are woven throughout The Doyle Collection story, adding texture and tone to our own rich history. These joint passions, these shared touchstones, are fundamental to us, and they’re at the heart of our celebration of this extraordinary woman and groundbreaking exhibition.
Inspired by her driving passion, we celebrate her creativity, originality and intelligence through installation and conversation, in food and in drink.
Our campaign runs alongside the first ever UK exhibition dedicated to the incredible couturière – Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto, hosted by our partners at The V&A Museum.
“Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside”
- Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel

“I only drink Champagne on two occasions – when I am happy and when I am not” - Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel Despite her unassuming childhood, Coco became a woman of refined tastes. When it came to Champagne, nothing but the best would do – and that meant Perrier-Jouët. With that in mind, we’ve partnered with our good friends at Maison Perrier-Jouët to create a range of made-to-measure, special occasion cocktails that speak to her past while toasting her continuing legacy. |
