Chanel catwalk: the complete collections

Abstract

'Chanel Catwalk' gathers every Chanel collection ever created by Karl Lagerfeld in a single volume - a unique opportunity to chart the development of one of the world's most influential fashion brands and discover rarely seen collections. Now fully updated (with 22 new collections) and concluding with Lagerfeld's final collection for the house, the book is a lasting tribute to Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel. This definitive publication opens with a concise history of Karl Lagerfeld's time at Chanel and a brief biographical profile of the designer. It goes on to explore the collections themselves, organized chronologically. Each collection is introduced by a short text unveiling its influences and highlights, and illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images, showcasing hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks and set designs - and of course the top fashion models who wore them on the runway. A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book.
