Emma Baxter-Wright Knihy

Unikátny obrazový sprievodca históriou módnej značky Chanel Gabrielle „Coco“ Chanelová bola výnimočná a provokujúca žena, ktorá prvá pochopila postavenie módnej návrhárky ako novodobej celebrity. Šikovne prepojila svoju profesiu a svoj životný príbeh, brutálne zmenila minulosť, neraz radikálne upravila pravdu a verejnosti predostrela výsledný obraz seba ako vzoru pre budúcu celosvetovú značku. Všetko, čo robila, podčiarkoval jej komplikovaný osobný život, ktorý mal vždy vplyv na jej prácu. Postupne sa stala vplyvnou návrhárkou, milenkou aj spolupracovníčkou, ktorá hladko prechádzala cestičkou medzi vysokou spoločnosťou a avantgardnými umeleckými kruhmi. Coco Chanelová má na konte niektoré z najinovatívnejších módnych kreácií sveta, napríklad malé čierne šaty, sako z buklé, umelé perly a dvojfarebné dámske lodičky. Chanelová využila príležitosť a dala ženám presne to, čo chceli, tesne predtým, než si to samy uvedomili. Na základe mužského šatníka vytvorila energický štýl a poskytla ženám demokratický spôsob obliekania, ktorý v konečnom dôsledku priniesol slobodu, rovnosť a nenápadný klasicizmus. Kniha oslavuje život a dielo tejto neobyčajne vplyvnej návrhárky a sleduje jej cestu za úspechom zo skromných pomerov až po globálny fenomén značky, ktorá svoje pole pôsobnosti rozšírila aj o parfumy, šperky a doplnky. Dokonca aj dnes, štyridsať rokov po smrti, zostáva Coco neodmysliteľným symbolom módneho domu Chanel. Z anglického originálu preložila Marína Gálisová.

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.
