Rewrite and translate this title Yana Peel: Only Connect – 10 Magazine to Japanese between 50 and 60 characters. Do not include any introductory or extra text; return only the title in Japanese.

With all her projects, Peel works, “case by case, thinking how can we as Chanel approach this in a way that was non-transactional, long term, very global? Sitting here almost five years on it’s exciting to think of nearly 50 projects. I think it’s five continents, 15 countries, 20 cities,” she says. 

One of her proudest initiatives is the Chanel Culture Pass, which gives Chanel employees privileged access to 10 cultural institutions across London (it will soon be rolled out across the world). It underlines her mission to bring more people into art institutions and broaden the spectrum of what they see. Add to that the Chanel Connects podcast, which she started during Covid, bringing creatives together from film, art, dance and music to explore fresh ideas – everyone from Pharrell Williams and Tilda Swinton to Julien Creuzet and Sadie Coles. 

“It’s not focusing on marketing. And not just focusing on Paris but being global in terms of thinking from the bottom up, how there’s so much micro influence and local insight and intelligence and impact in [other] countries. It’s being very local in our work and then very global when it scales up into the network of impact.”

That network is truly impressive. One of Peel’s great talents is building strong connections between people and institutions (her Instagram tagline is “Only Connect!”), something she credits to being an only child. “If you didn’t make connections, you’d be lonely,” she says. Over the years, she’s pulled into the Chanel orbit an impressive, international roll call of eminent thinkers, curators, museum directors and creatives including Nicholas Cullinan, director of the British Museum, Alvin Li, curator of international art at Tate Modern, Hans Ulrich Obrist, artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries, and Indhu Rubasingham, director of the National Theatre, among many others. This summer, Peel hosted 20 such institutional leaders in Aspen, Colorado, at the Chanel Cultural Leadership Forum. “We bring them together so they can work through their issues and also seek opportunities,” she says.
