A lush visual selection from the Chanel archive―crucial reading for fashionistas and design aficionados all over.

Chanel’s combination of tradition, originality, and style has at all times made it essentially the most seductive of fashion labels. Here the House of Chanel opens its private archives, revealing a galaxy of brilliant designs created by Coco Chanel from 1920 onwards. Dazzling clothes, intricate accessories, beautiful models, and timeless design leave without a doubt as to the lasting fame of her name and embody the whole thing that has come to symbolize the magic of Chanel.

The book explores five central themes―the suit, the camellia, jewelry, makeup and perfume, the little black dress―and follows the threads from past to give to show how these key items have been rediscovered and reinvented by new designers. It includes many up to now unpublished archive photographs and original drawings by Karl Lagerfeld, in addition to glorious images from one of the crucial greatest names in fashion photography. 139 illustrations, 83 in color
