Book Chanel: The Legend Of An Icon by Assouline

Description

Gabrielle Chanel, known for her uncanny ability to anticipate fashion trends, transformed the style world with her modern take on luxury minimalism. She elevated simple fabrics like jersey and tweed to couture status, creating a sophisticated yet understated silhouette that redefined 20th century fashion. Chanel's vision liberated women from restrictive clothing, aligning with broader societal changes. The fashion house she founded has continued to shape modern fashion, with her successor, Karl Lagerfeld, reinventing the industry by drawing on Chanel's heritage while adding his own innovative twist. Lagerfeld's approach to reviving a legendary brand has become the model for the modern fashion house. Assouline's updated volume, Chanel: The Legend of an Icon, captures this rich history with a selection of one hundred iconic pieces and insightful text by Alexander Fury, illustrating the lasting impact of Chanel through archive and contemporary images.
