CHANEL Connects, the flagship arts and culture podcast, returns for Season 5.
Listeners are transported to La Pausa, Gabrielle Chanel’s "ideal Mediterranean villa" on the French Riviera. It was the only place entirely imagined and designed by the couturière. Set against this backdrop, Season 5 welcomes new guests and ideas, and explores the home as a nexus for creative encounters.
Presented by Yana Peel, President of Arts, Culture & Heritage, CHANEL Connects brings together artists and innovators shaping the now and defining the next.
Gabrielle Chanel hosted many of the leading visionaries of the 20th century—from Salvador Dalí to Jean Cocteau—at La Pausa, which became a site for artistic alchemy. Following a meticulous restoration, the villa reopened its doors for the Connects guests and their conversations.
The new season features changemakers across disciplines: Academy Award-winning actor Lupita Nyong’o, Emanuele Coccia – philosopher and professor, Francesca Hayward of The Royal Ballet, artist Allison Katz, performance art duo Gerard & Kelly, Lauren Collins – writer at The New Yorker, artist Matthew Lutz-Kinoy, Michelin-starred chef Mauro Colagreco, and American artist Adam Pendleton.
5 is a significant number for CHANEL, so this season promises to be special. Episodes will be released weekly from July 16.
