A stunning survey of Chanel’s most notable designs from her 60 years in fashion
As one of the world’s most recognized fashion brands, Chanel owes much to the templates first laid down by its founder – Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel (1883–1971). Some of her most celebrated creations, such as the two-piece suit, the little black dress and the quilted handbag, remain in vogue to this day. Importantly Chanel designed first and foremost for herself: by creating clothes fit for an independent and active lifestyle, she anticipated the needs and wants of modern women.
Introduced by V&A curators Oriole Cullen and Connie Karol Burks, this book presents a dazzling array of Chanel's most notable designs. Largely drawn from the collections of the Chanel Patrimoine in Paris and the V&A, and captured in beautiful detail by renowned photographer Nicholas Alan Cope, this selection covers the breadth of the designer’s 60 years at the forefront of fashion. The garments are brought to life by accompanying historic images, including fashion illustrations, archive photos, and shots of clients including Elizabeth Taylor and Lauren Bacall. The book examines the cut, construction, embellishment and provenance of each ensemble, as well as the themes and motifs Chanel returned to throughout her career, uniquely capturing the design evolution of this fashion icon.
