The Story of Chanel By Lagerfeld- Abandoned Edition:The Story of the Iconic Fashion Designer

Emma Baxter-Wright

The House of Chanel is synonymous with not one, but two iconic designers. First there was Gabrielle, and then there was Karl. The Story of Chanel by Lagerfeld is the second volume in the stunning two-book gift set that, through over 200 images accompanied by expert text from bestselling author Emma Baxter-Wright, explores the birth and evolution of the most illustrious fashion house in the world. This second book explores how Karl Lagerfeld reinvented Gabrielle's codes, ingeniously updating her signatures for the modern woman, and adorning everything with the instantly recognizable double-C logo. This follows the first book in the set, The Story of Chanel, chronicling Coco Chanel's revolutionary innovations in sportswear and jersey fashions for women as well as the classics that made her name, such as the tweed suit, little black dress and of course Chanel No.5. Immerse yourself in the world of Chanel, and discover the origins of chic.
