Karl Lagerfeld's collaboration with Carine Roitfeld on 'The Little Black Jacket: Chanel's Classic Revisted' is the partnership that we've all been excited for. So far the brand have teased us by taking us behind-the-scenes of the shoot for the book, as well as making us a fly on the wall at the recent exhibition for the book in Tokyo in that video that they released earlier this week.
Yesterday they launched thelittleblackjacket.chanel.com, an 'e-exhibition', which showcases everyone from Georgia May Jagger to Olivier Theyskens wearing the iconic black Chanel tweed jacket styled by Roitfeld. The concept really works. The diverse cast for the book is illustrative of the timeless quality of the piece and its ability to transcend generations and styles. The book is available online on Amazon for only $39 but in the meantime, have a glimpse at some of my favourite images from the book.
Recently we reported that Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld were working on a new photobook for Chanel and now the brand have released this behind-the-scenes video from the shoot.
The video shows Karl Lagerfeld shoot everyone from Sarah Jessica Parker and Roitfeld herself to Alice Dellal and Georgia May Jagger for the book, titled 'The Little Black Jacket: Chanel's Classic Revisited.' The sentiment that seemed to flow throughout the quick interviews was the sense that the classic style transcends all generations and different types of women, something that we also picked up on in Dellal's Boy Chanel campaign.
Will you buy the book when it hits stores this winter?
