This is your new fashion bible Id

The best-selling Chanel Catwalk was the first book to gather every Chanel collection ever created by Karl Lagerfeld in a single volume. Now fully updated to include Lagerfeld's final collections for the house and those of his right-hand and successor, Virginie Viard, this revised edition includes twenty-eight new collections.

This definitive publication features a concise history of Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard's time at Chanel, as well as brief biographical profiles of each designer. The collections (from Haute Couture and Ready-to-Wear to Cruise and Métier d'arts) are organised chronologically. Each one is introduced by a short text unveiling its influences and highlights and illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images, showcasing hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks, and set designs— and of course, the top fashion models who wore them on the runway.

A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book.
