As one of the most successful fashion houses in existence, Chanel
owes much to the templates first laid down by its founder -
Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel (1883-1971). Some of her most celebrated
designs, such as the two-piece suit, the little black dress and the
quilted handbag, remain in vogue to this day. Chanel designed first
and foremost for herself: by creating clothes fit for an
independent and active lifestyle, she anticipated the needs and
wants of the modern woman. This beautiful book showcases a stunning
array of Chanel's most notable designs from her 60 years in
fashion, largely drawn from the collections of the Chanel
Patrimoine, Paris and the V&A. It examines the cut,
construction, embellishment and provenance of the ensembles, as
well as the design themes and motifs Chanel returned to throughout
her career. Newly commissioned photographs of the selected pieces,
together with archival images, capture the design evolution of thie
fashion icon.
