Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel was, without doubt, the most influential
designer of the 20th century. This book honours her influence by
celebrating the key elements that defined and still define her
style through inspired pairings of classic and contemporary
photographs. Juxtaposing fashion plates from Chanel's own time with
the most recent creations by Karl Lagerfeld, such as Cecil Beaton's
portrait of Coco Chanel presented alongside one of Cate Blanchett
by Lagerfeld himself, the resonance between archive and
contemporary photographs becomes sharp, vibrant and telling. The
vocabulary of Chanel's style - the little black dress, baroque
inspirations, androgynous chic - is revealed in eleven chapters
that compare original forms in the 1920s with the full range of
their later expressions through every fashion era. Chanel's
legendary fashion house continues to captivate a huge audience with
an insatiable appetite for one of fashion's undisputed style
perennials.
