From intricate haute couture embroidery to contemporary Chinese craftsmanship, Chanel’s la Galerie du 19M brings the hidden artistry of fashion into the spotlight at the Museum of Art Pudong.从错综复杂的高级定制刺绣到当代中国工艺，香奈儿19M画廊将时尚背后的艺术才华在浦东美术馆推向聚光灯下。

When we think of an exquisite garment, a picture of a finished product from a runway comes to mind. But behind the pleasing shapes and beautiful colors, there are hours of intricate handwork and sometimes centuries of tradition. This fall, Shanghai gives us an opportunity to look behind the curtain into the craftsmanship of one of the most revered fashion brands, Chanel. But it is not just a display for a single fashion house. An ongoing conversation between Western and Eastern craft legacy is furthered by the works of contemporary Chinese artists that draw a bridge between ancient legacy and modern innovation, accompanied by the meticulous work of the French craftsmen.当我们想到一件精致的服装，脑海中会浮现出秀场上成品的模样。但在这些悦目的造型与绚丽的色彩背后，是数小时的精细手工劳作，有时更是延续了数百年的传统。今年秋天，上海为我们提供了一个契机，得以揭开法国顶级时尚品牌香奈儿的工艺面纱。但这并非仅是对单一时尚品牌的展示。中国当代艺术家的作品搭建起古老传承与现代创新的桥梁，法国工匠们的精湛技艺也让东西方工艺传统之间的交流对话持续深化。

Running from September 25 to November 15 at the Museum of Art Pudong, this rare exhibition offers a unique perspective on human creativity and skills. For fashion enthusiasts, textile lovers, and anyone curious about the relationship between heritage and innovation, it is an invitation to look at some of the highest levels of craftsmanship, something that becomes increasingly valuable in our modern AI-maxxing age.这场罕见的展览于9月25日至11月15日在浦东美术馆举办，为人们提供了审视人类创造力与技艺的独特视角。对于时尚爱好者、纺织品爱好者，以及所有对传统与创新之间关系充满好奇的人而言，这场展览是一次领略顶尖工艺的契机，而在如今这个人工智能飞速发展的时代，这样的工艺价值愈发凸显。

Founded by Chanel in 2021, le19M brings together specialist ateliers whose expertise is essential to the luxury fashion industry. Its network includes craftspeople working in embroidery, pleating, featherwork, millinery, jewellery and other highly specialised disciplines. In Les Maisons, visitors can discover the remarkable precision and imagination involved in transforming raw materials into intricate decorative details. From embroidery to shoe and hat making, visitors can take a closer look at what goes into creating something beautiful. And remember, even though some of the feathers and sequins look very touchable, countless staff members are closely monitoring you with a sign that says “Do Not Touch”, so do not be tempted.2021年由香奈儿创立的le19M汇聚了一众专业工坊，其技艺对奢侈时尚行业至关重要。该工坊网络涵盖了从事刺绣、打褶、羽毛工艺、女帽制作、珠宝制作及其他高度专业领域的手工艺人。在这些工坊中，参观者能领略到将原材料转化为精巧装饰细节时所蕴含的非凡匠心与巧思。从刺绣到制鞋、制帽，参观者可近距离探寻打造精美物件背后的工艺精髓。切记，尽管部分羽毛和亮片看似触手可及，但现场有无数工作人员正盯着你，旁边还立着“请勿触碰”的标识，切勿心生触碰的念头。

The next section will be highly enjoyed by fine arts lovers. A Sense of Touch, one of its central sections, brings the expertise of le19M’s ateliers into conversation with Chinese and French artists, designers and craftspeople.下一部分将深受艺术爱好者的喜爱。核心板块之一《触觉之境》将 le19M 工坊的专业技艺与中法艺术家、设计师及工匠的创作相融合。

Curated with contributions from figures including Gong Yan, Lin Tianmiao, Zhang Lei and Christelle Kocher, the section explores craftsmanship through materials and practices such as textiles, ceramics, lacquer, woodcarving and bamboo weaving.本部分由龚艳、林天苗、张磊以及克莉丝泰勒·科歇尔等多位艺术家参与创作，通过纺织品、陶瓷、漆器、木雕和竹编等材料与工艺，探讨了手工技艺之美。

Rather than treating traditional techniques as relics of the past, the exhibition considers how they can be reinterpreted through contemporary creative practice. Different materials and cultural traditions become starting points for experimentation, revealing unexpected connections between craft, art and design. This is very fitting for a city like Shanghai, where constant innovation is met by honoring the centuries-old legacy.展览并未将传统技艺视为过时的遗存，而是探讨如何通过当代创作实践对其进行重新诠释。不同的材料与文化传统成为实验的起点，揭示出工艺、艺术与设计之间意想不到的关联。这与上海这座城市极为契合——在上海，对百年传承的尊崇与持续不断的创新相辅相成。

My personal favorite section was Lesage: 100 Years of Fashion and Decoration. An appreciation of Maison Lesage, the celebrated Parisian embroidery house established in 1924.我个人最喜欢的展区是“勒萨日：百年时尚与装饰”。这是对巴黎著名刺绣工作室马森·勒萨日（Maison Lesage）的致敬，该工作室创立于1924年。

Known for its contribution to haute couture, Lesage has helped shape the visual language of Chanel through its intricate embroidery and distinctive textile creations. Its work demonstrates how embellishment can become an integral part of a garment’s identity rather than a finishing touch. Moreover, 19M features a large display of archival and contemporary Chanel runway pieces. From Karl Lagerfeld to current Matthieu Blazy, the consistency and quality of the Chanel craft cannot be appreciated enough.以对高级定制的贡献而闻名，莱萨奇（Lesage）凭借其繁复的刺绣和别具一格的纺织品创作，助力塑造了香奈儿（Chanel）的视觉语言。其作品展现了装饰如何成为服装身份不可或缺的一部分，而非仅仅是点睛之笔。此外，19M 展区还集中展出了大量香奈儿的档案藏品与当代秀场作品。从卡尔·拉格斐（Karl Lagerfeld）到现任的马蒂厄·布拉齐（Matthieu Blazy），香奈儿工艺的传承性与精湛品质值得人们反复品味。

If you didn’t know, Chanel acquired Lesage through Paraffection in 2002; the historic atelier is celebrated for its intricate embroidery and innovative tweed creations. What is Paraffecrtion you might ask? It is a part of the Chanel label that invests and manages many specialized French craft workshops, in order to preserve and celebrate human creativity and history. Which is an incredible initiative; in our contemporary age of AI, we cannot afford to lose any more uniquely human skills.如果你还不知道，香奈儿于2002年通过Paraffection收购了莱萨奇工坊；这家历史悠久的工坊以其繁复的刺绣和创新的花呢设计而闻名。你可能会问，Paraffection是什么？它是香奈儿品牌旗下负责投资和管理多家法国专业手工工坊的部门，旨在传承并彰显人类的创造力与历史。这是一项极具意义的举措；在如今的人工智能时代，我们再也承受不起失去更多人类独有技艺的代价。
