Description

A lavish, full-color celebration of the history of the esteemed fashion couturier Chanel and the brand that lives on in her name. When Jean Leymarie’s monograph on Coco Chanel was originally published in 1989, he was known primarily as a curator and modern art historian, both in his native France and abroad. Bringing his expertise to bear on one of the most famous (and often controversial) couturiers of all time, Leymarie legitimized fashion as fine art. Completely redesigned by Philippe Apeloig, Leymarie’s classic volume belongs on the shelf of every Chanel fan. Beginning with a brief history of fashion, Leymarie takes the reader through Chanel’s early days, when she mingled with Jean Cocteau, Igor Stravinsky, and Luchino Visconti, through the development of her brand after her death by Karl Lagerfeld. A special essay on Lagerfeld’s contribution to the Chanel legacy, written by journalist Marc Lembron, brings this new edition up to date. Includes Color Photographs Read more

This is a beautiful coffee table book. I bought one for myself and one as a gift. We both love it and it elevates any room you place it in. I recommend this product for anyone who loves fashion or home design.

  • Chanel Book Decor
Hello Everyone, This book is a must for home decor. This book was recommended by a friend to decor my coffee table. This Chanel book will add a sense of class and elegance to anywhere it’s added. If you are worried about the white cover being dirty, don’t stress too much. I have had this book since summer of 2023 and so far, it’s barely dusty. Please note, I am a single woman without children so the book is quite clean, still. If you want, you can still keep it in the clear plastic if you feel it may get dirty. I paired this with the Tom Ford book and it’s literally the perfect pair. A must to glam the coffee table. ... show more
