Chanel : collections and Creations by Bott, Daniele - 2009

London: Thames & Hudson, 2009. Inspired by the House's signature fragrance, the legendary Chanel No. 5, the book explores five central themes - the suit, the camellia, jewelry, fragrances and make-up, and the little black dress - and follows the threads from past to present to show how these key items have been rediscovered and reinvented by new designers working in the footsteps of their illustrious predecessors. This visual journey is enhanced by previously unpublished archive photographs and original drawings by Karl Lagerfeld, as well as glorious images from some of the greatest names in fashion photography.. Reprint. Hard Cover. New/New.
