The House of Chanel upholds a commitment to style, innovation and creativity, in a tradition established by its visionary founder. Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel reinvented fashion by transcending its conventions, creating an uncomplicated luxury that changed women’s lives forever. Chanel continues, after almost a century, to inspire women of all ages around the world with its timeless modernity.

In the 1980s, members of the church decided to plan a restoration project that would involve adding a basement community center. That said, as some of the examples on this list will prove, Europe is by no means home to every significant charnel house. The French house is opening its largest store to date in Beverly Hills, designed by frequent collaborator and architect Peter Marino, and stocked with exclusive artworks and collections. Beneath an unmarked cellar door in a 15th century church lies a dark, secret, osteological oddity. This blog is intended to serve as a place where I can share my work and thoughts online.

On the one hand, it will provide a convenient place for me to store an online portfolio for future reference. At the same time, I am interested in connecting and engaging with others who are interested in the subjects it covers. Indeed, though he deftly avoided the question Kelley posed to him about the work of Adolph Reed, Noel told an online discussion group that he’d corresponded with Reed back in the mid-aughts. Reed eventually stopped responding to his repeated queries, so the dialogue sadly came to naught. Though he sympathized with Reed’s critique of identity politics, he feared (quite rightly) that all Reed was offering was warmed-over social-democratic trade unionism. Ignatiev identified far more with the left communist positions of Loren Goldner, who also contributed to Race Traitor.

Special issue of Insurgent Notes on the conflict in Ukraine
This has resulted in one of the most visually-striking charnel houses in the world. Members of the Hallstatt Catholic Church needed to make room in their nearby cemetery for more bodies. Without the option to expand the cemetery, they began digging up some of the bodies already there to store their remains in a charnel house.

Furthermore, and on a personal note, Cohen was always extremely generous towards me. When I left grad school in 2011 and moved to New York, feeling somewhat adrift in life, he invited me to sit in on some of his lectures and classes on the Soviet avant-garde. Years later, he asked me to attend a talk he was giving at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and graciously accepted a request I made for an interview about it. I’ve included some photos I took of Cohen from his lecture at the Met and before our interview. True to its commitment to widespread savoir-faire, CHANEL is taking part in the Journées Européennes des Métiers d'Art (European Artistic Craft Days) for the third year running.
Charnel houses, like ossuaries, consist of the skeletal remains of multitudes of human bodies. The arrangement of these remains can often resemble a form of dark artwork. The restorers pulled up the floorboards with the intention of building a basement community center, but soon found that would be impossible. A hidden cellar had been housing a 9-foot-tall, 65-foot-long wall of skulls for centuries. Leuk is a small town in Switzerland’s Rhone Valley mostly known for the thermal spa to the north, but the town itself has been around a very, very long time. The first church was built around the 6th century out of a preexisting Roman building.

There is ongoing scholarly disagreement as to the function and origin of ossuary burial. Some argue that this form of burial was born out of a theological shift in ideas about purity. Specifically, in the Mishnah and Talmud, Jewish sages from the period are depicted debating the methods and beliefs around ossuary burial.
And yet the vast wall of bones arranged into patterns and the skulls set into pillars have removed many of the aspects of humanity from the people interred there. Many of the skulls have been vandalized, scrawled with graffiti in biro and marker pens. The names on these skulls are the names of tourists – the people they belonged to have been forgotten, no one will ever know who they were.
Human Origins
Charnel houses arose as a result of the limited areas available for cemeteries. When cemetery usage had reached its limits, the bodies, by then only bones, would be dug up and deposited in the charnel house, thus making room for new burials. For example, at St. Catherine Monastery on Mount Sinai, where thousands of monks have lived and died over the centuries, the monks are buried in the small cemetery, later exhumed, and their bones placed in the crypt below the Chapel of St. Trifonio. A charnel house is a vault or building where human skeletal remains are stored. They are often built near churches for depositing bones that are unearthed while digging graves.
Most significantly, you can typically see the remains easily when you visit a charnel house, while you naturally can’t see the remains of someone buried underground in a coffin. The store will open with Viard's Spring/Summer 2023 Ready-to-Wear collection—a constellation of looks inspired by Alain Resnais’s surrealist 1961 film, Last Year at Marienbad. To mark the occasion of the boutique's opening, Chanel will also present four exclusive collections to celebrate the brand’s storied Hollywood history. An Haute Joaillerie capsule collection, titled "Beverly Hills," features sun and star motifs (a Lucky Star ring directly references the Walk of Fame), reportedly a favorite motif of the House’s founder.
Once a few contributors to the latest issue finished speaking, Noel got up there and gave a rousing summary of what the project is about. I don’t know enough details about his life to really write a proper obituary. But I’m told that IP plans to release a statement about his passing, so I will be sure to link to that once it appears. For now, I thought I’d write a brief personal note and then include an outstanding article he wrote that’s since become hard to find online. Charnel House was founded in 1989 with the commitment to produce state of the art limited edition books. I believe that book craftsmanship is an art form and the limited edition is a work of art, a luxurious read and a tactile experience, as well as being a highly collectible piece of art.
The fact the ossuary meant so much to someone so recently is evidence it is an important part of the identity of Hallstatt and its residents. These ossuaries are more than just storage for old skeletons, the bones have been treated as a medium to enhance beautiful architecture. Whether you think they are beautiful or creepy, they are breathtaking. The idea of getting lost or trapped in an underground catacomb with thousands of skeletons is terrifying enough, but many ossuaries do not simply stack the bones as efficiently as possible – they display them as a macabre kind of decoration. More recently there have been ossuaries built at Gallipoli and the Douaumont where unidentified soldiers were interred in ossuaries after the First and Second World Wars. Fontanelle Cemetery caves are home to the bones of both plague victims from the 17 th century and fallen soldiers from WWII.
