An iconic fashion piece, the Chanel jacket has survived throughout these years, appealing to all ages and tastes of the modern woman. From the late ‘30’s to present day, it has been a classic fashion item that can be worn with a tweed skirt or ripped jeans with equal aplomb.

In a 5-day workshop, hosted by Cecelia Podolak and Kathryn Brenne, learn the inside construction techniques and make your own Chanel style jacket. A Chanel ready-to-wear and an original Chanel couture jacket will be available for examination.

The workshop will be held in Mission, BC August 21 – 26, 2011. A registration form is attached with this email or you can contact Ce Podolak directly at
