.Chanel fete's the 10 winners of the inaugural Chanel Next Prize with a dinner party. Step inside the celebration:
On Tuesday evening in Venice, coinciding with the start of the 59th Biennale, Chanel threw a little dinner party. Its venue, the 14th-century family-owned Palazzo Zeno, was resplendent, and its hosts included Yana Peel, global head of arts and culture at Chanel, the actor Tilda Swinton, and architect Sir David Adjaye. The reason for the celebration? To fete the 10 winners of the inaugural Chanel Next Prize.
Launched last year, the international award seeks to recognize movers and shakers in the worlds of arts and culture. From video game designers to poets to theatrical directors, the disciplines of the lucky 10 selected run the gamut—plus, they represent countries all across the world. The winners were Jung Jae-il , Keiken , Lual Mayen , Marlene Monteiro Freitas , Rungano Nyoni , Precious Okoyomon , Marie Schleef , Botis Seva , Wang Bing , and Eduardo Williams .
While the evening had an international flair, the dinner table was set with all things local—Murano glass candlesticks and hand-embroidered napkins. Alongside the winners feted, the guest list included the global group of nominators and Chanel Culture Fund partners, including the National Portrait Gallery, Centre Pompidou, and the Underground Museum.
It goes without saying that everyone was impeccably dressed, most in Chanel. Yet the evening served to underline the house’s devotion to art-making of all kinds—because, after all, what would fashion be without its muses?
