A magnificent box set to discover the history of the legendary house of Chanel, in two volumes.
"Let my legend travel onward, I wish it a long and happy life!"
From iconic creations like the little black dress and Jackie Kennedy's pink tweed suit to the No. 5 perfume associated with Marilyn Monroe and the quilted 2.55 bag, all the way to the two-tone shoes and faux pearl necklaces, Gabrielle Chanel left an indelible mark on the 20th century and revolutionized the world of fashion.
This beautiful box set (27.4 x 19 x 4.2 cm) includes two books in a 26 x 18 cm format:
- Little Book of Chanel
- Little Book of Chanel by Lagerfeld
The first volume presents the history of the legendary fashion house, from its inception to the present day. The second highlights the period when Karl Lagerfeld helped cement Coco Chanel's stylistic legacy in our era.
Little Book of Chanel explores the life and work of one of the greatest fashion designers of her time. The book retraces her path to success, from her beginnings with boutiques in Deauville and Biarritz to the global emergence of the Chanel brand, now a symbol of luxury and beauty.
Delving into the life of Coco Chanel, who eternally embodies the spirit of the house, this book offers a journey through a century of fashion and gives insight into a couture house that has become legendary.
The name Chanel is inseparable from two legendary figures: Gabrielle Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld. Chanel is also Lagerfeld's oeuvre!
However, the talented designer did not merely preserve Coco’s legacy; he completely reinvented it. The house’s characteristic elements—the little black dress, the tweed suit, costume jewelry, perfumes—were ingeniously modernized for today’s woman. Simultaneously, accessories with the iconic "double C" logo became universal symbols of sophisticated and bold elegance.
Little Book of Chanel by Lagerfeld is a stunning illustrated guide to the thirty-five years during which the German designer led the French house, from luxurious haute couture creations to the spectacular and daring shows that made Chanel the world’s most prestigious brand.
