Known for her ability to anticipate fashion trends, Gabrielle Chanel transformed the world of style with her modern approach to luxury minimalism. She elevated simple fabrics like jersey and tweed to couture status, creating a sophisticated yet understated silhouette that redefined fashion in the 20th century. Chanel's vision liberated women from restrictive clothing, aligning with wider societal changes. The fashion house she founded has continued to shape modern fashion. Her successor, Karl Lagerfeld, has reinvented the industry, drawing on Chanel's legacy while adding his own innovative touch.

This book traces Chanel's rich history through a selection of one hundred iconic pieces and illustrates the lasting impact of the fashion house through archive and contemporary images.
