In this brand new series of 3.55 podcasts for Chanel – produced by Monocle 24 – we head to the opening of Chanel’s Mademoiselle Privé Tokyo exhibition, which runs at the Japanese capital’s B&C Hall-Tennoz until 1 December and takes a journey through haute couture, high jewellery and Chanel No. 5. Monocle’s editor-in-chief, Tyler Brûlé, will meet Chanel's fashion president and ambassadors, including Pharrell Williams and Sofia Coppola, to discuss the codes and craft of the maison, as well as its relationship with Japan.

    Sofia Coppola
    Film-maker Sofia Coppola has strong ties with both Chanel and Japan. She is perhaps best known for her Tokyo-based 2003 film ‘Lost In Translation’ in which Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson befriend each other as they find themselves lost and lonely in the Japanese capital. As Coppola tells Monocle’s Tyle Brûlé, her relationship with Chanel began when she was 15, during a summer internship in Paris.
