The city, which in the 19th century was at the epicenter of the industrial revolution, has since remade itself as a hub for sport and culture, home to the Manchester United and Manchester City football teams and the birthplace of iconic bands like The Smiths, Simply Red, Oasis, and the Stone Roses.
Virginie Viard, creative director of Chanel, said that Manchester’s music culture began there and changed the world, which is why she chose to stage the show there in recognition of its innovative and creative spirit. As a “fantastic tribute” to the city and the respect it garners globally, the Manchester City Council greeted the event with open arms.
