Three Weeks with Coco Chanel
by Douglas Kirkland
QueensPlaza is proud to present an exclusive photographic exhibition 'Three Weeks with Coco Chanel', featuring the work of Hollywood’s legendary photographer Douglas Kirkland.

This is the first time these images will be seen in Queensland in what promises to be an intimate insight into the life of one of the world’s most stylish fashion icons. Here is a distinctly unique look at the woman who transformed twentieth century fashion.

No stranger to photographing some of the world’s most beloved icons, including Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland, Douglas Kirkland fixed his lens on Chanel for 21 days. Sent to Paris on assignment for Look magazine, Kirkland ended up living with Chanel for three weeks, catching both the public and the intimate moments of Chanel’s daily life.

This collection of photographs is as staggeringly beautiful as it is an impassioned portraiture, shedding new light on one of the great stories of the modern age. Get the inside word on the photographer, Douglas Kirkland’s experience with Coco Chanel in Paris in 1962.

This exclusive International exhibition celebrates the arrival of the Festive Season and will be launched in conjunction with QueensPlaza’s VIP Shopping Night on 10 November.

Don’t just visit the photographic exhibition during November - go on an exclusive guided tour with Di Cant! This is an experience you will not want to miss. Please phone 3234 3906 or visit QueensPlaza Customer Service to secure your booking on one of these exclusive tours. Only available November 10, 5.30pm - 8pm.
