- Hi there! Welcome to Queenie of London! Thanks so much for popping by my channel, it's lovely to see you!
in this week's video, come with me to the Victoria & Albert museum to visit their sold out exhibition, "Chanel Manifesto". This retrospective is the first of its kind in the UK and has arrived in London from a tour which started in Paris, and has travelled to Melbourne and Tokyo. No ticket? No problem- I'll walk you through the whole brilliant show!
Of course, we can't possibly go on an empty stomach, so we'll grab a slice of cake in the gorgeous V&A Café. There are 3 beautifully designed areas to gaze at whilst we munch!
Thank you so so much for watching!
Have a brilliant weekend!
Lots of lovs from London,
Queenie x x x x xx

When I saw this appear in my feed I instantly leapt to my feet and did an excited little jig whilst literally squealing "Oh my, Queenie at the V&A... and Chanel!!! What a delight!!!" - which I think stands out a little, a lot around my neck of the woods.
Haha! That's brilliant! :) :) I'm so glad that this was up your street, Sarah, and I do hope you enjoyed it! It's so drisly and dismal this end, I needed a little Chanel dazzle!
Hope you've got something fun planned for the weekend, and thank you so so much! Qxxx
Totally fabulous, dear Queenie. My husband and I were engrossed in your presentation. Loved it. One of my favorite videos yet. Hugs to Alfie. Have a great weekend. Awesome job.
Hi there Angela! Oh, thank you so so much ❤️ your comment made me smile from ear to ear. I'm really really pleased you both enjoyed! Alfie sends you both hugs - he's in an unusually active mood 😀
We hope you have a wonderful weekend! Qxxx
That was an incredible exhibition! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Happy March lovely Queenie x looking forward to this xxx
❤️ Yay for March and for more daylight! Qxxx
What a gorgeous exhibit! The V & A did such a magnificent job of displaying all the beautiful clothing and accessories. It is so incredible to see how timeless Chanel's designs remain. Any of those evening gowns could be worn today at the Baftas or the Oscars. You really see how her influence lives on even today. A true testament to great design. Thank you, Queenie!❤
You are so right, Daphne, they are completely timeless. It's pretty remarkable how someone can create to achieve that over and over again.
I really hope you're keeping well and had a great week and am so chuffed to hear your kind words - thank you so much ❤️ lots of love, Qxxx
Thank you Queenie! Enjoying my Friday night curry and chips with your new video😊 xx
Cor! Curry and chips sounds heavenly! I'm so having that tomorrow after reading that!
I'm so so glad you enjoyed, lovely, and I hope you have a great weekend! Thank you so so much! Qxxx

Thank you for taking us along!
Thank you so much for coming with me, lovely! Hope you're having a great weekend! Qxx
Good morning! What a beautiful museum? Wow! Have a great weekend. Thank you for this history. Yes I recently read that G. Chanel loved a Nazi soldier.
She's a stunner, isn't she?! I love a visit to the V&A and I'm so pleased you enjoyed coming with me. Thank you so, so much for watching, lovely! Have a brilliant weekend! Qxx
Thank you thank you., thank you ❤
Thank you, Queenie. I really enjoyed this video. It was lovely to see the exhibition as I'll never get to see it in person. 17 hours on a plane is a bit far to travel for it! Thanks to you, I get to enjoy lovely London.
This was sensational, so much style, elegance and beauty. Thank you so much. I do of course love seeing my London as well. You looked rather channel inspired at the end farewell and you statement mane of hair is go glam!
Go girl! Beautiful narration and presentation - loved it all 😊
THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤️ I was so chuffed to read your kind words! Have a wonderful weekend lovely! Qxxx
Oh wow Queenie that was so amazing. The history, the style and the glitz so special xxx Your knowledge and presentation as always fantastic x Have a great weekend xxxxxx
Oh lovely Helen, I was so happy to read your lovely words! ❤️ I'm so pleased you came along with me! This February is so dark and damp. I needed that dazzle! Hehe! Hope you are all keeping well, lovely, and that you all have a brilliant weekend! I also hope your daughter has had some good news after all her hard work!
Loads of love, Qxxxx
@@QueenieofLondon oh Queenie you are so kind x Yes she got the offer in January! She was over the moon ( just waiting on other universities) Thank you so much for your support and interest x Hope you and your family are all well xxxxxx
@helenalexander2567 That's fantastic news! I'm so pleased for her - Go girl!
Thank you lovely, they all send their best and hugs your way! Qxx
Oh bless you xxx
You did a great job narrating it....Loved it!
Thank you, Nancy! I so appreciate your kind words! It was so quiet walking around the exhibition, I didn't want to spoil anyone else's enjoyment, so I thought narrating was a better plan! I hope you're having a great weekend! Qxxx
I loved it !!!! Need I say more ? Thankyou.😊😊😊
I'm so happy to hear that Jan and so grateful to you for watching! Hope you're having a great Sunday! Qxxx
I don't even really care for fashion that much, but this was very interesting and beautiful! It is amazing that she was making straight dresses while corsets where still being used, and today here suits are being worn exactly the same. Her vision was timeless! I wish I lived close enough to a big museum like that to see exhibitions. I used to go to LACMA when I was a new nurse living in Los Angeles. I loved it. Xoxo Kisses for Alfie and Hugs for you! :)
Stunning exhibition ❤😊
So glad you enjoyed lovely! Thank you for keeping me company! Qxxx
@QueenieofLondon thanks 😊, your welcome
Oh No, I liked the myth of Coco Channel! Loved the exhibition thanks for showing us
All of your Vlogs are so amazing. You do such a wonderful job. I watch them over and over and over again thank you so much😊
Well done babe another great vlog keep it up ❤❤❤
Thanks, Ant! Have a good weekend! :)
THANK YOU so very much for this lovely video, Queenie! I had the lovely pleasure of living in London in the 1990’s, and I took several Art History courses there. (I bought my very first Chanel bag in the boutique in Sloan Street). What a pleasure to see a mini tour of the V&A and all the amazing rooms and the staircases I trod all those years ago! Love your (recently discovered) channel and your delightful narration. 🙋♀️🇺🇸👍🥰‼️
Hi there Janet! I was delighted to read your comment, I'm happy that the video brought back memories for you and am so very grateful to you for coming along with me! Your time in London sounds amazing. The V&A library is one of my favourite places in the world, and the museum must have been an incredible place to study. ❤️ I'm still dreaming of a Chanel handbag! Haha! So much love and thanks to you, Qxxx
@@QueenieofLondon I loved every, single minute of the time I spent at the V&A. I was only a 15 minute cab ride away! Now I am here in OHIO, and what I would give to pop over there like I used to!! Love from me.🥰
❤
❤️🧡 Qxxx
An absolutely amazing vlog Miss Q. We saw a different kind of presentation from you, the expert lecturer in Fashion History, brilliant. The cafes were lovely, but of course, my favourite was the William Morris one. I don't know if I told you, but I have a Strawberry Thief face mask. We were both glued to the screen looking at the amazing dresses etc, and the dinky men's shorts and top ensemble. As you can imagine, I loved the perfume bottles. BTW, Chanel have a scent out called Boy, in memory of Boy Capell, it's beautiful. Loved every minute of the vlog. Nice to see you mentioned 'The Return' film from Karl, I think I told you about the other film that Karl made about Gabrielle's early fashion days called 'Once Upon a Time'. That one is on CZcams too. xx
Oh, I love the Once Upon a Time - I remember watching it over and over when it was released! ♡ Swoon!
I wanted to try and film the perfume section more, but it was a small space, and we were kind of ushered through it quickly. There were cosmetics in there, too. :( I didn't know about Chanel naming a perfume after Cappell, and that's really made me rather pleased, so thank you!
I'm so glad that you enjoyed it on your end, PB. Everyone there was really rather silent, so I thought it best to narrate rather than spoil their experience by chatting away! Hope you're having a wonderful Sunday! Qxxxx
Wish I went down to see this in Melbourne. The V and A is a lovely venue for it. Thank you Queenie for the insiders look at London!
I had a little look at the pictures from when it was in Melbourne, they displayed the suits beautifully! I got a bit of a stiff neck looking up at them in the V&A! Haha! I'm so glad you could see it all here, though. Thank you so much for watching! Qxx
Happy I can watch your video from the comfort of home with a biscuit or two! Thank you Queenie xx
Queenie, Easter bunnies are at TkMaxx, just thought you'd like to know!🐰🐣🥚❤
Wonderful trip with you to the V & A. Loved the exhibit on Channel. Your commentary was first class. I can't decide if your PhD is iin History or Art, or Architecture. Brilliant!
Hi Ellen! Thanks so much, I'm so chuffed you enjoyed it! I did a PhD in Literature - but it was on Vogue magazine in the 1920s. Writers like Woolf, Huxley, Mitford, Sackfilled West & Dorothy Richardson all had words in the magazine back then. ♡
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for watching! Qxxx
are you ok queenie? not seen you for a while x
Having a really bad week, waiting for serious test results, worrying times but hopefully you will cheer me up as usual ❤
I'm so sorry to hear that, Bridie. I really hope you get your results soon and will pray for good results for you. Lots of love and hugs Qxxx
@@QueenieofLondon thankyou you're so lovely xx
