Chanel to stage Galerie du 19M in Tokyo this fall
Chanel has unveiled plans to stage Galerie du 19M in Tokyo this fall, promoting its unique array of multiple "Métiers d'art" to the greater public. The brand has chosen an elevated space—on top of a noted Tokyo skyscraper—to display the inimitable skills of 19M craftspeople. Founded by Chanel in 2021 in Paris, 19M is a unique constellation of skilled métiers and specialist suppliers bringing together nearly 700 craftsmen and experts from the worlds of fashion and decoration. The Galerie du 19M is an open space dedicated to the transmission and promotion of Métiers d'art through a multi-disciplinary program showcasing emerging creative scenes. Previously, the Galerie du 19M moved for several weeks to a naval fort in Marseilles when Chanel staged its cruise collection in the Mediterranean city last year. From September 30 to October 20, 2025, Galerie du 19M will be staged on the 52nd floor of the Mori Tower. A giant skyscraper with nearly 400,000 square meters of floor space, Mori Tower is also home to a famed art museum, one floor above the Chanel event. 'Visitors of all ages will marvel at the richness of the Japanese and French heritages and the modernity of their contemporary interpretations,' Chanel underlined in its release. In January 2022, French President Emmanuel Macron celebrated the opening of 19M, Chanel's unique couture and fashion skills campus in northern Paris, praising it as an expression of a cultural revolution in France. It is an impressive building uniting wide-ranging skills from embroiderers (Lesage) and bootmakers (Massaro) to milliners (Maison Michel), pleat makers (Lognon) and feather suppliers (Lemarié) in a truly unique constellation of skills and know-how. 'The Galerie du 19M Tokyo is a new milestone in the history that links Chanel and Japan, founded on respect, mutual admiration and shared inspiration. While Japanese aesthetics have permeated many collections since the days of Gabrielle Chanel, the House has also paid tribute to Japan through many important events, from its first fashion show in Tokyo in 1978 to its first Métiers d'art exhibition abroad, at the Ginza flagship in 2004,' noted Chanel. The Galerie du 19M Tokyo will offer a free, inspiring and playful tour, open to all, in three chapters: The Festival, a monumental installation showcasing the unique know-how of the Maisons d'art du 19M, designed by the ATTA agency, headed by renowned architect Tsuyoshi Tane; and 'Beyond Our Horizons,' an immersive exhibition featuring creations by nearly 30 Japanese and French craftsmen and artists — many of them created in collaboration with the Maisons d'art du 19M — curated by five personalities from the creative world: Momoko Ando, Yoichi Nishio, Shinichiro Ogata, Kayo Tokuda and Aska Yamashita. Finally, "Lesage, 100 years of fashion and decoration," is a retrospective celebrating the centenary of the embroidery and weaving house, unveiling its most impressive creations.

Cheltenham festival 2025: Gold Cup countdown and more
Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Official going news from the Jockey Club. Friday 14th March The going for day four of The Cheltenham Festival 2025 today, Gold Cup Day, is: Good to Soft Action takes place on the New Course today, which was also in use yesterday (St Patrick's Thursday). The first two days of The Festival, Champion Day and Style Wednesday, took place on the Old Course. Jon Pullin, Clerk of the Course at Cheltenham Racecourse, said this morning: 'We have had three fantastic days of racing so far. We are very much looking forward to another good one today and hoping to see Galopin Des Champs join greats of the past in winning three Cheltenham Gold Cups. 'There are seven races again today, with the first off at 1.20pm and the first six races live on ITV. 'The going for today is Good to Soft. Temperatures dipped down to -3.5C overnight, but we had covered yesterday's racing lines, so it's all systems go for the day ahead.' Share Greg Wood And unlike Mullins's Al Boum Photo, who came up short as a 9-4 shot when attempting a third straight win in 2021, it is very hard to see Galopin Des Champs being beaten. With the sole exception of his stumble three years ago, Galopin Des Champs has scarcely made a mistake in any of his previous starts at the festival, but the real secret to his dominance, the special power that sets him apart not only from the current crop of chasers but all but a handful of the greats of the past, is the raw finishing power that kicks in as he closes out a race. Share Greg Wood Cheltenham 1.20 James Owen's East India Dock has already posted two outstanding performances for a juvenile at this track when successful at both the November and December meetings. Both wins were recorded in notably fast times and a repeat of either performance would probably be enough here, although further progress from this hugely promising four-year-old would be no great surprise either. Share Greg Wood Good morning from Cheltenham on one of the most eagerly-awaited days of the racing year: Gold Cup day at Cheltenham, the pinnacle of the National Hunt season and this year a very rare opportunity to see a two-time winner of the race attempt to join the tiny band of immortals – Golden Miller, Cottage Rake, Arkle and Best Mate – with three Gold Cup victories to their name. We have been here once before quite recently, as another Willie Mullins-trained chaser, Al Boum Photo, went for the three-timer just four years ago. But even with the benefit of hindsight – he finished third as the 9-4 favourite – his tilt at racing history lacked conviction. Galopin Des Champs, by contrast, will be long odds-on to get the job done this afternoon, even with the Grand National favourite, Inothewayurthinkin, in the field as a late supplementary. He is also a festival stalwart, making his fifth visit to the meeting and looking for his fourth success (the only blip being a bizarre stumble after the last when victory seemed assured in a novice chase here three years ago). Banbridge, the King George VI Chase winner, is another live rival, but his stamina at this extended three-and-a-quarter miles is far from assured, and Galopin Des Champs will set off at around 4-7 to secure his membership of a very elite club. The going remains good-to-soft, the covers on the track did their job after temperatures dipped to -3.5C overnight, and the gates have opened to welcome what is certain to be the biggest crowd of a week when attendance has been a concern. When Cheltenham is packed, the customer experience is not always what it should be, but for many National Hunt fans, the chance to be here on one of those festival days that no-one will ever forget is simply too much of a draw. You can follow all the action live as the final day of the meeting unfolds here on our live blog, and we are underway at 1.20 with the juvenile hurdling championship, the Triumph Hurdle. Share
