Erste Ausgabe. – „This book is Karl
Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld’s reinterpretation of Chanel’s iconic
little black jacket. Lagerfeld has redesigned the jacket, transforming
it into a modern, adaptable garment to be worn by both sexes of all
ages. The Little Black Jacket contains Lagerfeld’s photographs of
celebrities wearing the jacket with individual flair – sometimes
classic, sometimes irreverent, but always Chanel – and each styled by
Carine Roitfeld. A range of accomplished actors, musicians, designers,
models, writers and directors gets the little black jacket treatment,
including Claudia Schiffer, Uma Thurman, Kanye West, Tilda Swinton,
Baptiste Giabiconi, Yoko Ono and Sarah Jessica Parker. This book shows
the astounding versatility of Chanel’s vision in Lagerfeld’s hands, and
ensures the little black jacket’s future as a timeless classic. Karl
Lagerfeld, fashion designer, book dealer and publisher, began working as
a photographer in 1987. Lagerfeld has received the Lucky Strike Design
Award from the Raymond Lewy Foundation, the cultural prize from the
German Photographic Society, and the ICP Trustees Award at the
International Center of Photography’s Infinity Awards in 2007. His
recent exhibitions include “Konkret Abstrakt Gesehen” at the Langen
Foundation in Neuss, and “Metamorphoses of an American – A Cycle of
Youth, 2003–8” at Pace/MacGill in New York. Steidl has published most of
Lagerfeld’s books, including Casa Malaparte (1998), A Portrait of
Dorian Gray (2004), Room Service (2006) and The Beauty of Violence
(2010). Carine Roitfeld is a fashion writer and stylist, and was
editor-in-chief of French Vogue from 2001 to 2011. Roitfeld began her
career as a model before moving to French Elle as a journalist and
stylist. Meeting Mario Testino then marked the beginning of an ongoing
collaboration that saw the pair create groundbreaking advertising
campaigns and editorial shoots. Roitfeld worked as a consultant with Tom
Ford during his time at Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, and her book
Irreverent was published in 2011“ (Steidl). – Sehr gutes Exemplar.
