Come August, and all
of us will witness the launch of a stunning book – The Little Black Jacket,
Chanel's Classic Revisited. Yes, the book is a spectacular tribute to the same
iconic Little Black Jacket that Coco Chanel made famous. The book
has more than 200 pages of portrait photography shot by one and only Karl
Lagerfeld and edited and styled by Carine Roitfeld.
With an amazing cast
of personalities from various field of work – Anna Wintour, Tilda Swinton,
Claudia Schiffer, Freja BehaErichsen, Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld, Milla
Jovovich, Daphne Groeneveld, Tao Okamoto,Baptiste Giabiconi, Saskia de Brauw,
Linda Evangelista, Gaspard Ulliel, Stella Tennant, Natalia Vodianova, Daphne Guinness,Mariacarla
Boscono,Sarah Jessica Parker, Yoko Ono, Kanye West,Theophilus London, Kirsten
Dunst – this is indeed a collector’s item for those who appreciate fashion and
the quintessential Little Black Jacket.
The Jacket’s
gender neutral character (see pics) is beautifully captured by Karl without
disturbing the very essence of this stunning & iconic creation. Using his
skilful hands & creative vision, Karl has redesigned the jacket, converting
it into a contemporary, adaptable piece of garment to be worn by both genders
without any age restriction.
I can't wait to get my
hands on a copy of this book. How about you?
