Chanel Debuts ARTS & CULTURE Magazine Vol. 1

This June, Chanel launched the first issue of its new publication, ARTS & CULTURE Magazine, further cementing its century-long commitment to the arts. More than a magazine, the project is a curated showcase of Chanel’s evolving dialogue with the global creative community.

The magazine celebrates the last five years of partnerships with artists and cultural institutions, led by Chanel Arts, Culture & Heritage and Yana Peel, President of Arts, Culture & Heritage at Chanel.

One of the standout features of ARTS & CULTURE Vol. 1 is its emphasis on artists, including essays on Cao Fei, LuYang, Savanah Leaf and Tracey Emin, as well as portfolios by the winners of the CHANEL Next Prize, offering a glimpse into emerging talents and their contributions to the arts. The magazine also explores the heritage of the House, including an interview with architect Peter Marino, an essay by art historian RoseLee Goldberg, and a unique commissioned portfolio by photographer Roe Ethridge of the Chanel History Collection.

Limited copies of the premiere issue will be available at 23 independent bookstores in 20 cities worldwide, including Bananafish in Shanghai. Published in English, the magazine is designed in a large format (32.8 cm x 24.6 cm) with multiple papers, offering a visually engaging experience across approximately 250 pages. With a curatorial lens and immersive visuals, the issue weaves together a richly layered, avant-garde portrait of the Chanel art universe—one that reflects both deep cultural insight and bold creative experimentation.
