Description
Chanel’s combination of tradition, originality and style has always made it the most seductive of brands. Here the House of Chanel opens its private archives, revealing a galaxy of brilliant designs created by Coco Chanel from the 1920s onwards, and now reinterpreted to become the motifs for brand new garments, accessories and beauty products. Inspired by the House’s signature fragrance, the legendary ‘Chanel No 5’, the book explores five central themes – the suit, the camellia, jewelry, fragrances and make-up, and the little black dress – and follows the threads from past to present to show how these key items have been rediscovered and reinvented by fashion designers working in the footsteps of their illustrious predecessors. This visual journey is enhanced by previously unpublished archive photographs and original drawings by Karl Lagerfeld, as well as glorious images from some of the greatest names in fashion photography. Dazzling clothes, intricate accessories, beautiful models and timeless design leave no doubt as to the lasting fame of the brand and embody everything that has come to symbolize the magic of Chanel. llustrations: 159

I got this book for decoration, as most do. Perfect size. Not too small and not too big. I honestly didn’t plan to even take the plastic around it off, but did eventually. I do wish it was printed on the cover and not a paper that covers the book. Only downfall in my opinion.

It arrived in top condition no beat up corners or scratches as it was sealed in plastic packaging. Looking forward to adding to my luxury brand library collection.

I love it but the paper cover was pulled up past the book before being wrapped so it’s a little crinkled and messed up! Hoping it straightens out

So we will will start with extremely fast shipping!!! I ordered it early morning and it was delievered the same day!! Not only is the cover on the book classic and looks amazing on my sofa table, our iconic Chanel will forever live on in our hearts! The pages are thick and smell wonderful and the book is well written with her own words quoted throughout. Great pictures (I’d love to tear out and frame some…lol) and actual drawings from Karl Lagerfield of actress Nicole Kidman in Chanel’s designs! This is a fashionista’s dream sofa book! Love it so much I’m ordering one for my greatest bestie of over 34 years!!!
