Description
The House of Chanel is synonymous with not one, but two iconic designers. First there was Gabrielle, and then there was Karl.
The Story of Chanel is the stunning two-book gift set that, through over 200 images accompanied by expert text from bestselling author Emma Baxter-Wright, explores the birth and evolution of the most illustrious fashion house in the world. The first book chronicles Coco Chanel's revolutionary innovations in sportswear and jersey fashions for women as well as the classics that made her name, such as the tweed suit, little black dress and of course Chanel No.5. Go on to read about Karl Lagerfeld's reinvention of Gabrielle's codes, ingeniously updating her signatures for the modern woman, and adorning everything with the instantly recognizable double-C logo. Immerse yourself in the world of Chanel, and discover the origins of chic.Author Bio
