Pablo Picasso and Gabrielle Chanel collaborated professionally on two occasions, both with Jean Cocteau: on Antigone (1922) and on Sergei Diaghilev's Russian ballet Le Train Bleu (1924). They met around the spring of 1917, probably through Cocteau himself or Misia Sert. The designer established a long and lasting friendship with both of them that would introduce her to the Spanish painter's circle. From then on, Chanel would frequent the Picasso couple, coinciding with the artist's active participation in the Russian ballets. The designer became closely involved with the artistic and intellectual world of Paris at the time, to the point of stating: "It is the artists who have taught me rigour.
The museum has proposed an exhibition that explores the relationship between these two great creative geniuses of the 20th century, bringing together art and fashion in a new exhibition project.
