The definitive book on Karl Lagerfeld's pioneering and irreverent campaigns for Chanel, as photographed by the designer himself

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

When Karl Lagerfeld was named at the helm of the fashion house in 1983, he set out to radically shake up and update its image—not only through bold collections but also, from 1987 onwards, by choosing to shoot the house's campaigns himself, a move that was unprecedented for a fashion designer.

Conceived in collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld and the House of Chanel, this definitive publication opens with an essay by Patrick Mauriès before exploring the campaigns themselves, organised chronologically. A carefully curated selection of images showcases hundreds of spectacular clothes worn by the top fashion models—and personalities—of each era, from Inès de la Fressange, Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, and Cara Delevingne, to Kristen Stewart and Lily Rose Depp. They are captured in glamorous locations—from Coco Chanel's Paris apartment to the French Riviera or LA.

Presented in a high-end, slipcased package, Chanel: the Karl Lagerfeld Campaigns offers an unrivalled overview of the house of Chanel as seen through the eyes—and lens—of Karl Lagerfeld himself.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

At the centre of that vision was Noel Crombie—percussionist, performer and the...
