Chanel: Collections and Creations

Chanel, with its unique blend of tradition, originality, and style, has always been the most alluring of brands. In this book, the House of Chanel unveils its exclusive archives, showcasing a collection of stunning designs crafted by Coco Chanel starting from the 1920s and now reimagined as the inspiration for new clothing, accessories, and beauty products.

Drawing inspiration from the iconic ‘Chanel No 5’ fragrance, the book delves into five main themes – the suit, the camellia, jewelry, fragrances and make-up, and the little black dress – tracing their evolution from the past to the present to demonstrate how these timeless pieces have been rediscovered and transformed by modern designers following in the footsteps of their legendary predecessors. Rarely seen archival photos, original sketches by Karl Lagerfeld, and breathtaking images from renowned fashion photographers further enrich this visual exploration.

From dazzling apparel and intricate accessories to exquisite models and timeless designs, the enduring legacy of the brand is unmistakable, embodying everything that epitomizes the enchantment of Chanel.
