Ahead of the opening of Chanel's new exhibition Mademoiselle Privé in Seoul on June 23, the house has recreated the only high-jewellery collection ever designed by Chanel herself. The jewels will be on display for one of the few times since they were designed in 1932. Especially re-edited for the show, the exquisite pieces were photographed by Karl Lagerfeld and modelled by his muses.
