As one of the most recognized couturiers of the 20th century, Gabrielle Chanel (French, 1883–1971) has long been the subject of breathless mythologizing and hagiography. It is the authority and mastery of her work, the resonance of her image of the modern woman as articulated in her designs, and the autobiographical infusion of influences in her collections that confirm her iconic stature. This exhibition catalogue includes essays by Karl Lagerfeld, Rhonda Garelick, Caroline Rennolds Milbank, Nancy J. Troy, and Kenneth E. Silver. The color illustrations, created through a process of double-photo transfer, are by Karl Lagerfeld, and the book is printed by Steidl Verlag in Germany.

192 pages, 120 illustrations (80 in full color). 12 1/4 in. x 9 5/8 in. Paper.
