What people are saying
At the heart of the work of the Chanel Culture Fund is cultivating care for ideas, for artists, and for the irreplaceable act of making something new.
There could be no one better to grace the cover of Vol. 2 than Cindy Sherman, who for five decades has examined the construction of identity and the power over personae that women hold.
