The Little Black Jacket: Chanel's Classic Revisited - Hardcover

Reseña del editor

This is the new edition of Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld’s reinterpretation of Chanel’s iconic little black jacket, expanded by 21 new photographs. For the first edition which was awarded as on of the most beautiful books made in Germany in 2012, Lagerfeld had redesigned the jacket, transforming it into a modern, adaptable garment to be worn by both sexes of all ages. The book contains Lagerfeld’s photographs of celebrities wearing the jacket with individual flair – sometimes classic, sometimes irreverent, but always Chanel – and each of the protagonists styled by Carine Roitfeld. A range of accomplished actors, musicians, designers, models, writers and directors gets the little black jacket treatment, including Claudia Schiffer, Uma Thurman, Kanye West, Tilda Swinton, Baptiste Giabiconi, Yoko Ono and Sarah Jessica Parker. The project – which is accompanied by a number of exhibitions around the world – underlines the astounding versatility of Chanel’s vision in Lagerfeld’s hands and ensures this specific jacket’s future as a timeless classic.
