Chanel The Legend of an Icon Book

Gabrielle Chanel revolutionized fashion with her visionary approach to modern elegance. Rejecting the ornate excess of her era, she championed a refined minimalism that elevated humble fabrics like jersey and tweed into symbols of luxury. Her designs introduced a sleek, liberated silhouette that mirrored the changing role of women in society, freeing them from restrictive garments and ushering in a new era of style.

The house of Chanel continued to evolve under Karl Lagerfeld, who honored Chanel’s legacy while infusing it with bold innovation. His ability to reinterpret tradition for a contemporary audience set the standard for revitalizing heritage brands in the modern fashion industry.

Chanel: The Legend of an Icon, celebrates this enduring influence through a curated collection of 100 iconic pieces. Accompanied by insightful commentary from Alexander Fury and enriched with archival and modern imagery, the volume offers a vivid portrait of Chanel’s timeless impact on global fashion.
