The relationship between Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky is one that is discussed as a constant source of fascination by historians, music/fashion experts, and many more. The context of early 20th century Paris within which both artists lived is regarded as one of the most exciting periods of creative output in the European artistic world.
Associate Artist Lizzie Ball above explores this fascinating part of musical and fashion history. Together with virtuoso accordionist Miloš Milivojević, she performs music to include arrangements by the composer himself – The Firebird Ballet and Suite Italienne – whilst discussing the influence of Chanel, Stravinsky and other contemporaries of the vibrant Parisian Left Bank artistic scene of the early/mid-20th Century.
