Emma Baxter-Wright Livres

Le petit livre d'Elsa Schiaparelli décrit la vie et l'oeuvre d'un couturier de première importance des années trente et de l'histoire de la mode. Il restitue tout l'esprit "Schiap" fait d'élégance et d'extravagance. Croquis, photos de presse, illustrations de Marcel Vertès et de Christian Bérard éclairent son travail très avant-gardiste sur la couleur, l'imprimé, les formes architecturées. Ils révèlent aussi toute la richesse de ses collaborations avec Jean Cocteau et Salvador Dali, et l'inépuisable inventivité de ses créations de bijoux, sacs, chapeaux, chaussures et parfums.

Le petit livre de Chanel retrace un parcours fascinant marqué du sceau de l'innovation, des inventions révolutionnaires de Coco Chanel en matière de sportswear et de vêtements femme en maille, en passant par les pièces emblématiques de la marque, classiques universels tels la veste cardigan, le tailleur, la petite robe noire, jusqu'aux créations de l'actuel empire Chanel brillant de tous ses feux sous la houlette de Karl Lagerfeld. Parfums, bijoux, sacs, chaussures... tout ce qui regarde la mode a été marqué par cette forte personnalité, pour remporter la plupart du temps un succès planétaire. Passionnément éprise de liberté, ayant réussi à briser tes barrières sociales pour devenir l'un des couturiers les plus influents de tous les temps, elle fut la première à rendre véritablement aux femmes le pouvoir de se mouvoir sans entraves : dans l'histoire de la mode, la femme et le créateur n'auront jamais été si imbriqués.

The House of Chanel is synonymous with not one, but two, iconic designers. First there was Gabrielle, and then there was Karl. Chanel is a house known for its signatures that not only changed the course of fashion history but still resonate today – the Little Black Dress, the tweed suit, costume jewelry, Chanel No5. These signatures were inspired by Gabrielle Chanel's taste, life experience and travels – but it was Karl Lagerfeld who took these signatures and ingeniously adapted them for the twenty-first century woman. From his first days at the helm of Chanel in the 1980s, to his creative application of the Chanel logo to everything from biker boots to a space rocket, King Karl's reign at Chanel is nothing if not legendary. Little Book of Chanel by Lagerfeld covers his most exquisite pieces, breathtaking catwalk shows and constant reinvention that have maintained Chanel as the most illustrated couture house in the world. Written by the bestselling author of Little Book of Chanel , this beautifully illustrated book is the essential guide to Lagerfeld's tenure at Chanel.
