Chanel: The Making of a Collection traces the design process of
the world-renowned fashion house, revealing how a collection is
created. Moving from the studio to the fashion show, fashion writer
Laetitia Cénac has unprecedented access to explore a world that is
usually carefully guarded from the public eye. With hundreds of
beautifully rendered fashion illustrations from acclaimed artist
Jean-Philippe Delhomme, Karl Lagerfeld’s approach to design is brought
to life, as are the talents of the masterfully skilled artisans—the
embroiderers, flower makers, shoemakers, hat makers, and more—who
specialize in everything from buttons and leather to lace, silk, and
cashmere. Delving into the history and culture of the brand, while also
detailing contemporary collections, Chanel: The Making of a Collection is a richly visual insider’s look at the enduring creative legacy of this haute couture icon.
