Chanel 3-Book Slipcase (New Edition) by Assouline

Available in English or French

Description

Assouline and Chanel present a newly updated trilogy celebrating the timeless spirit, signatures and heritage of the house of Chanel, this box set includes three Mémoire volumes: Chanel Fashion, Chanel Jewelry And Watches and Chanel Fragrance And Beauty.

Chanel Fashion by Anne Berest:
A visionary self-inventor, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel shaped her own destiny to become the most influential fashion designer of the 20th century. Rejecting the restrictive styles of the time, she introduced a new silhouette that was both sophisticated and natural. This spirit of modern luxury and Parisian know-how, developed over the decades thanks to the myriad innovations of Karl Lagerfeld, continues today with Virginie Viard, the new artistic director.

Chanel jewelry and watches by Fabienne Reybaud:
Eternally inspired and visionary, just like Mademoiselle Chanel's one and only “Diamond Bijoux” High Jewelry collection, the Chanel Jewelry Creation Studio expresses the unique spirit that characterizes Chanel High Jewelry, from 1932 to the present day. Likewise, the Chanel Watchmaking Studio, in just over thirty years in the watchmaking adventure, will have addressed all the professions contributing to the art of Haute Horlogerie. Watches designed as objects of pleasure, without any concession to the technical and artisanal know-how required to create precious objects. Watches ready to stand the test of time.

Chanel perfume and beauty by Marion Vignal:
With the creation of her revolutionary No. 5 in 1921, then the launch of her first makeup line in 1924, and shortly after the release of her skincare products in 1927 - Gabrielle Chanel has always been ahead of her time. Faithful to this unique heritage, Chanel's perfume, skincare and makeup lines have always exemplified excellence in creativity, research and technique. Simple and effective, while always remaining elegant, these beauty products are true expressions of the holistic vision of the house of Chanel.
