Chanel The Karl Lagerfeld Campaigns
Chanel : The Karl Lagerfeld Campaigns, Patrick Mauries.
The definitive book on Karl Lagerfeld’s pioneering and irreverent campaigns for Chanel, as photographed by the designer himself
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, organized
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 Kirsten Stewart and Lily
Rose Depp, 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.
