Book Gabrielle Chanel

Chanel, one of the most successful fashion houses, owes much to Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel (1883–1971), whose famous designs such as the two-piece suit, the little black dress, and the quilted handbag are still in fashion today. She primarily designed for herself, creating clothes for an independent lifestyle that anticipated the needs of the modern woman. This book showcases a selection of Chanel's most iconic designs from her 60 years in fashion, mainly from the collections of the Patrimoine de CHANEL, Paris, and the V&A. It examines the cut, construction, and provenance of the ensembles, as well as recurring design motifs. New photographs by Nicholas Alan Cope and archival images capture Chanel's unique fashion world.
