Chanel in Vogue [9780500025772]

Overview

Arguably the most famous fashion magazine in the world, Vogue talent-spotted the work of a young Gabrielle Chanel as early as the 1910s and continued to report on the designer through the decades, from her seminal "little black dress" to the most luxurious haute couture creations. From 1983, Karl Lagerfeld’s reimagining of the brand also found pride of place in the magazine, inspiring some of the world’s greatest stylists and photographers across the international editions of Vogue. 

Chanel in Vogue includes two volumes: the first volume is dedicated to the era of Gabrielle Chanel, and the second focuses on the work of her successors, Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard, and to the present day. This beautifully produced publication brings together the inspirational editorials dreamt up by world-famous fashion illustrators and photographers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from Edward Steichen, Horst P. Horst, Irving Penn, and Helmut Newton, to Peter Lindbergh, Ellen von Unwerth, Annie Leibovitz, Steven Meisel, and many more. Featuring iconic images as well as lesser-known photography and illustration, Chanel in Vogue is a trove of stunning visual material, granting readers unparalleled access to more than a century’s worth of fashion imagery. 

Published as two volumes in a slipcase, this high-end, large-format package is the perfect companion to bestselling Chanel books currently in print. The result is the definitive book on the fashion of Chanel as seen through the pages of the world’s most influential fashion magazine.
