The Little Book of Chanel

This monograph on Coco Chanel chronicles the life and legacy of one

of history’s most influential couturiers. From her early days of millinery,

through her revolutionary inventions in sportswear and jersey fashions

for women, the classics that have made her name, such as the Chanel

cardigan jacket and the little black dress, to the global empire of the

brand under the helm of Karl Lagerfeld, this beautifully illustrated book

offers a fascinating account of Chanel’s evolution and innovation.

Detailed photographs and sketches of her designs, along with fashion

photography and catwalk shots, pay tribute to one of the world’s most

highly regarded fashion houses and the woman behind it.
