This book is a literary museum exhibition, an organized selection of 100 iconic and signature Chanel looks, from the timeless Little Black Dress to the impeccably simple tweed suit, the apothecary style perfume bottle, the two-tone pumps, the abundant strands of pearls and artificial stones, and quilted leather handbags adorned with diamonds, the revolutionary creations of Mademoiselle with unexpected and even irreverent variations of Karl Lagerfeld on its codes of origin.
Selected by fashion journalist Alexander Fury, The Impossible Collection features the best images from the world’s leading editorial photographers, specialist museums and private collections, including rarely seen archival photos, This Ultimate Collection volume is the ultimate collection of fashion aficionados.
