Chanel revolutionized the lifestyle of the twentieth-century. Inventing the style of the modern woman — elevating humble fabrics to couture status, and giving birth to a new silhouette — Gabrielle Chanel dressed women to be free. In Assouline’s 'Chanel: The Legend of an Icon', journalist Alexander Fury takes readers into the history and the heart of the fashion house. The title illustrates how Chanel fundamentally affected what we wear today, and how we wear it, showing that, while Gabrielle Chanel reshaped the clothes women wear, her successor Karl Lagerfeld reconfigured the industry that makes them.
Exquisite editorial sits alongside almost 200 illustrations in this stunning, essential edition. New and archival imagery combines to create a definitive compendium of Chanel’s rich, timeless legacy, encapsulated in objects such as Little Black Dress, the tweed suit, diamond-quilted handbags, faux pearls, and apothecary-style perfumes.
