To mark the 100-year anniversary of N°5, the world’s most famous perfume, CHANEL has convened inspiring voices from their fields to reflect on the notion of celebrity. Representing a diverse range of disciplines and geographies from around the world, each speaker offers their unique perspective on how the notion of celebrity continues to shape and reshape culture, creativity, and society.
As N°5 did not just transform the world of perfumery — but has inspired artists, photographers, filmmakers, writers and the public for generations — so CHANEL is taking the perfume’s 100-year anniversary as an opportunity to reflect on the new forces of celebrity that will shape the next 100 years.
Topics discussed span the cultural and intellectual impact of celebrity: its legacy, its influence on psychology, and its role in shaping creativity for current and future generations.
