The House of Chanel is synonymous with not one, but two, iconic
designers. First there was Gabrielle, and then there was Karl.
Chanel is a house known for its signatures that not only changed the
course of fashion history but still resonate today - the Little Black
Dress, the tweed suit, costume jewelry, Chanel No5. These signatures
were inspired by Gabrielle Chanel's taste, life experience and travels -
but it was Karl Lagerfeld who took these signatures and ingeniously
adapted them for the twenty-first century woman. From his first days at
the helm of Chanel in the 1980s, to his creative application of the
Chanel logo to everything from biker boots to a space rocket, King
Karl's reign at Chanel is nothing if not legendary.
Little Book of Chanel by Lagerfeld covers his most exquisite pieces,
breathtaking catwalk shows and constant reinvention that have maintained
Chanel as the most illustrated couture house in the world. Written by
the bestselling author of Little Book of Chanel, this beautifully
illustrated book is the essential guide to Lagerfeld's tenure at Chanel.
