INTRODUCTION
Chanel: Collections and Creations offers a lavish and in-depth visual journey into the archive of the House of Chanel from the 1920s onwards. The book explores five central themes: the iconic suit, the camellia motif, jewellery, fragrance & make-up, and the little black dress.
Featuring previously unpublished archive photographs, original drawings by Karl Lagerfeld, and the finest fashion photography, the volume reveals how these signature motifs have been reinvented by new generations of designers and remain central to Chanel’s aesthetic legacy.
Elegantly produced, this book is both an essential reference for fashion scholars and a compelling coffee-table piece for design aficionados.
