Chanel Haute Couture album

Chanel Haute Couture Album - At the age of fifteen, Sofia Coppola (the author of the album) completed a summer internship at Chanel's Paris studio, moving from her family home in Northern California. This unforgettable experience began a relationship with the fashion house that has developed over decades and resulted in numerous collaborations. The latest volume is this luxurious and fascinating one, in which Coppola, using her signature style of collage and assemblage, presents an original visual history of Chanel's haute couture designs. The story of the house of haute couture unfolds across 450 pages, through unpublished sketches, photos of Chanel clients modeling their creations, runway photographs, and archival memorabilia. Covering the distinct eras of Chanel's leading designers—Gabrielle Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, Virginie Viard—their teams, their famous clientele, and the models of each era, seen through the eyes of acclaimed photographers, this book offers a definitive guide to the extraordinary creations that have influenced generations of designers and constitutes a history of fashion in its own right. Hardcover. Pages: 450. Language: English.
