Inspired by the House's signature fragrance, the legendary 'Chanel No 5', the book explores five central themes - the suit, the camellia, the jewels, the fragrances, the makeup and the little black dress - and follows the timeline from the past to the present to show how these key items have been rediscovered and reinvented by fashion designers who have followed in the footsteps of their illustrious predecessors. This visual journey is enhanced by never-before-seen archival photographs and original drawings by Karl Lagerfeld, as well as glorious images from some of the biggest names in fashion photography.
