Full Description

Independent, revolutionary and bold. This is the story of a woman who rewrote the rules of fashion with her philosophy and her legendary maison – Chanel.

Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel forever changed the way women dress, move and perceive themselves. As a uniquely empowered female couturier, she created a timeless style, giving life to garments and accessories that are now among the most recognizable in our cultural landscape.

Chanel Philosophy is a visual exploration of Chanel’s impact on womenswear, as well as the designer’s innovative vision of accessories, bijoux, and jewelry, areas where she showed a level of daring far above that of any traditional jeweler at the time. Through archival materials, historical models and exclusive interviews, this book unveils the secrets of a luxury that is not only about exclusivity but also a practical and timeless elegance.

Following the successful Rolex Philosophy (ISBN 9781788842396) and Hermès Philosophy (ISBN 9781788843355) in the Luxury Philosophy series.
