At our Houses around the world, we’ve been welcoming autumn with some exciting events over the last week. In Chicago, we launched a new Billiard House concept, in Bangkok we hosted a bar takeover, and in Tel Aviv we celebrated the club’s two-year anniversary. We also threw our first Cities Without Houses party in Houston, Texas. 

Scroll on for a peek inside the action, and don’t forget to check out your local events calendar to see what’s coming up. 

Chanel and Variety’s Fourth Annual Female Filmmaker Dinner, Soho House Toronto
Chanel hosted the Fourth Annual Female Filmmaker Dinner, in partnership with Variety magazine, at Soho House Toronto during the Toronto International Film Festival. The evening brought together an intimate group of industry-leading talents, such as friends of the House Vicky Krieps, Camila Morrone and Irina Starshenbaum, to honour women in film and highlight Chanel’s relationship with cinema. 

The special event celebrated the Chanel Women Writers’ Network, an alumnae programme and extension of TIFF Share Her Journey’s annual TIFF Writers’ Studio. The programme reinforces Soho House’s commitment to championing women in the arts and creating opportunities for their artistic and professional development. This year, the participants included Teyama Alkamli, Berkley Brady, Luis De Filippis, Idil Ibrahim, and Farida Zahran.
