Chanel: Collections and Creations

Product Information

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. Hand-bound using traditional techniques, with color plates hand-tipped on art-quality paper, each page of this limited-edition series bears the unique imprint of the artisan. A lush visual selection from the Chanel archive—essential reading for fashionistas and design aficionados everywhere. Doing do causes the reader to either flip quickly past the images (a shame) or to forget the trailing topic (which makes for a disjointed thought process).

This visual journey is enhanced by previously unpublished archive photographs and original drawings by Karl Lagerfeld, as well as glorious images from some of the greatest names in fashion photography.
