A stunning survey of Gabrielle Chanel’s most notable designs from her 60 years in fashion 
edited by V&A curators Oriole Cullen and Connie Karol Burks    As one of the most successful
fashion houses in existence  Chanel owes much to the templates first laid down by its founder 
Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel (1883–1971). Some of her most celebrated designs  such as the two-piece
suit  the little black dress  and the quilted handbag  remain in vogue to this day.   Chanel
designed first and foremost for herself  by creating clothes fit for an independent and active
lifestyle  she anticipated the needs and wants of the modern woman.   This beautiful book
showcases a stunning array of Chanel’s most notable designs from her 60 years in fashion 
largely drawn from the collections of the Patrimoine de CHANEL  Paris  and the V&A. It examines
the cut  construction  embellishment  and provenance of the ensembles  as well as the design
themes and motifs Chanel returned to throughout her career.   Newly commissioned photographs of
the selected pieces by renowned fashion photographer Nicholas Alan Cope are accompanied by
archival images  which together capture Chanel’s unique fashion world.
