Description
Completely redesigned by Philippe Apeloig, Leymarie’s classic volume is back in print yet again. Beginning with a brief history of style, Leymarie takes the reader through Chanel’s early days, when she mingled with Jean Cocteau, Igor Stravinsky, and Luchino Visconti, during the development of her brand after her death by Karl Lagerfeld. A special essay on Lagerfeld’s contribution to the Chanel legacy, written by journalist Marc Lembron, brings this new edition up-to-the-minute.
