Chanel Catwalk: The Complete Collections

The best-selling Chanel Catwalk was the first book to bring together all of the Chanel collections ever created by Karl Lagerfeld in a single volume. Now completely updated to include Lagerfeld’s final collections for the house and those of his right-hand woman and successor, Virginie Viard, this revised edition includes twenty-eight new collections. This definitive publication presents a concise history of Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard’s time at Chanel, as well as brief biographical profiles of each designer. The collections—from haute couture and ready-to-wear to sail and metier d’Arts—are organized chronologically. Each is introduced by a short text revealing its influences and highlights and illustrated with carefully selected catwalk images, showcasing hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks and set designs—and of course, the leading fashion models who wore them on the runway. An enriched reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book.
