As whimsical as anyone in crossing dance, film, art, Blanca Li always manages to to bring to life to everything she imagines, with creations animated by technology, shimmering with glamour.

Le Bal de Paris, an immersive virtual reality show branded Chanel, encapsulates all the passions of an artist who in a 30-year career marked by eclecticism has maintained her unmistakable style. "I wanted to create a show that didn't exist yet and that I couldn't have imagined 20 years ago," Blanca Li says, alluding to to a path in which technological innovation has never appeared superficial, but consubstantial to the ...
