CHANEL: THE LITTLE BLACK JACKET EXHIBITION

Posted on 2012-10-01

The photographs display the versatility and timelessness of the iconic Chanel jacket through 113 photographs shot by Lagerfeld himself, with each personality adapting the garment to reflect their own inimitable style.
The project, which was the brainchild of Chanel’s creative director Karl Lagerfeld and ex- Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld, began with a coffee table book consisting of photographs of ‘friends of the House’ – models, stylists, actors, designer and musicians, all wearing Chanel’s classic little black jacket in different ways.
The accompanying book, “The Little Black Jacket: Chanel’s classic revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld,” will be available this autumn.

Exhibition runs from October 12th to October 28th, 2012
