It concentrates more than 700 artisans and 11 maisons d\u2019art such as embroiderer Lesage, silversmith Goossens and hatmaker Maison Michel under one roof. <\/p>\n \n\tIts open-to-the-public cultural program at La Galerie du 19M is structured around several key components, such as a discovery of the know-how and materials at play in its different ateliers as well as creations in dialogue with contemporary practices.<\/p>\n \n\tIt previously alighted in Dakar, in the wake of the 2023 M\u00e9tiers d\u2019Art show. For its Tokyo stop in 2025, the work of Japanese and French artists and artisans was front and center, underscoring the value of skilled labor at a time of rapid advances in artificial intelligence, generational shifts and heightened scrutiny of luxury pricing.<\/p>\n \n\tAs Pavlovsky has repeatedly argued, sustaining the house\u2019s creative ambitions and justifying the cost of its most emblematic products depend on attracting a new generation of artisans and making visible the time, training and manual expertise that go into each piece.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Shanghai arm is extending that message to a key market that it previously wooed with M\u00e9tiers d\u2019Art shows, such as the one held in the city in 2009 and, more recently, in Hangzhou in 2024. <\/p>\n \n\tSuch initiatives have also served as recruitment tools, with Le19M in Paris drawing thousands of students and young visitors into contact with m\u00e9tiers ranging from embroidery and pleating to millinery and feather work.<\/p>\n \n\t\u2013 With contributions from Lily Templeton, Paris<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SHANGHAI \u2014 Chanel will give Shanghai a full-bodied serving of the crafts with the next stop of its traveling cultural program of La Galerie du 19M, the cultural arm of its M\u00e9tiers d\u2019Art hub. Running from Sept. 25 to Nov. 15, a wide-ranging program at the Museum of Art Pudong will spotlight Chanel\u2019s network of specialist ateliers while placing them in dialogue with Chinese craftsmanship and contemporary creations from both China and France. La Galerie du 19M Shanghai will take over the entire third floor of the contemporary art museum, which boasts a panoramic view of the Bund. The French fashion house said it has planned an immersive, exploratory journey to encourage visitors to move between discovery and hands-on experimentation. \u201cWith this new international project, La Galerie du 19M extends the values of the Maisons d\u2019art \u2014 passion, transmission and generosity \u2014 beyond its Parisian walls,\u201d said Bruno Pavlovsky, president of Chanel SAS, president of Chanel fashion and president of Le19M. \u201cThrough a creative dialogue imagined for all audiences, the project offers a sensory exploration of the M\u00e9tiers d\u2019Art that combines heritage, contemporary techniques, and participatory experiences, affirming the status of savoir-faire as a universal creative language,\u201d he added. The exhibition in the Chinese metropolis will be curated by Gong Yan, artistic director of Power Station of Art in Shanghai; Beijing-based contemporary artist Lin Tianmiao; Zhang Lei, founder and director of Pinwu Design Studio and Rong Design Library in Hangzhou; and Christelle Kocher, artistic director of feather specialist Lemari\u00e9 and Atelier Lognon, which specializes in pleating. A highlight will be a retrospective exhibition dedicated to Lesage, celebrating the centenary of the storied embroidery house. Some of its most emblematic creations will go on display in Shanghai, tracing a trajectory from its founding in 1924 through to its most recent work for Chanel.
