Chanel in Vogue - Susanna Brown-Books

Arguably the most famous fashion magazine in the world, Vogue talent-spotted the work of a young Gabrielle Chanel as early as the 1910s and continued to report on the designer through the decades, from her seminal "little black dress" to the most luxurious haute couture creations. From 1983, Karl Lagerfeld’s reimagining of the brand also found pride of place in the magazine, inspiring some of the world’s greatest stylists and photographers across the international editions of Vogue. Chanel in Vogue includes two volumes: the first volume is dedicated to the era of Gabrielle Chanel, and the second focuses on the work of her successors, Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard, and to the present day.
