Description Description

More than any other designer of her time, Gabrielle Chanel had the ability to predict the evolution of contemporary fashion. An extraordinary self-inventor, Chanel revolutionised the lifestyle of her time by inventing a modern concept of luxurious minimalism, elevating humble fabrics such as jersey and tweed to the status of haute couture, giving birth to a new silhouette that was at once sophisticated and understated, and stamping the 20th century with her modern spirit of understated luxury.

Curated by fashion journalist Alexander Fury , Chanel: The Impossible Collection showcases the very best images from the world's leading editorial photographers, specialist museums and private collections, including rarely seen archive photos, this handcrafted Ultimate Collection volume is the ultimate compendium for fashion aficionados.

Complimentary white gloves and a signature canvas bag are included with every purchase of Assouline's Ultimate Collection.

More information

This book is a literary museum exhibition, a curated selection of 100 iconic and emblematic looks from the house of Chanel, from the timeless Little Black Dress to the impeccably simple tweed suit, the apothecary-style perfume bottle, the two-tone court shoes, the copious strands of pearls and imitation stones and the diamond-quilted leather bag, from Mademoiselle’s revolutionary designs to Karl Lagerfeld’s unexpected and even irreverent variations on her original codes.

About the brand

Assouline, where culture meets luxury It all began in 1993, when Martine and Prosper Assouline found themselves at the La Colombe d'Or hotel in France, one of their most beloved places in the world. As they experienced its beauty together, their curiosity about life and love of books inspired them to make their own tome about the hotel. Prosper took the photos, Martine wrote the text, and La Colombe D'Or became their first book, published in 1994. Today, every Assouline book continues to be created with the same union of talent and passion: Martine's editorial direction and Prosper's creative vision.
