Chanel Haute Couture
Curated by Sofia Coppola in her bespoke collage style, the book pays homage to the house who first hired her as a summer intern when she was only fifteen and who she has maintained a professional working relationship with ever since. A treasure trove for all fashion enthusiasts.
Synopsis
At the age of fifteen, Sofia Coppola took up a summer internship at the Chanel studio in Paris, moving from her family home in Northern California. This indelible experience initiated a relationship with the fashion House which has flourished over decades and resulted in numerous collaborations. The latest is this luxurious and compelling volume, in which Coppola uses her signature style of collage and assemblage to present a bespoke visual history of Chanel’s Haute Couture designs.
The story of the Haute Couture House unfolds across this 450-page tome through unseen sketches, photographs of Chanel clients wearing creations, runway photographs, and archival ephemera. Encompassing the distinct eras of Chanel’s lead designers – Gabrielle Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, Virginie Viard – their teams, their famous clientele, and the models of each period, as seen by renowned photographers, this book is a definitive guide to the extraordinary creations that have influenced generations of designers and a piece of fashion history in its own right.
Conceived with the support of Chanel and designed by Anamaria Morris for Joseph Logan Design
