A striking celebration of Chanel through the singular vision of Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel: The Karl Lagerfeld Campaigns is a carefully curated collection of iconic imagery spanning decades of fashion history. Featuring more than 600 photographs and an essay by acclaimed fashion writer Patrick Mauriès, this volume offers an unparalleled look at the house of Chanel as seen through Lagerfeld’s own eyes—and lens.
Organized chronologically, the book showcases hundreds of unforgettable looks worn by legendary models and cultural icons, including Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, and Kate Moss. From the intimacy of Coco Chanel’s Paris apartment to the sun-drenched French Riviera and the glamour of Rodeo Drive, each campaign captures the evolving spirit of the brand with cinematic precision.
Appointed creative director in 1983, Lagerfeld transformed Chanel from a storied name into a modern fashion powerhouse. Beyond designing bold, era-defining collections, he reinvented the brand’s image by photographing the campaigns himself—bringing a sharp, energized perspective that made every frame feel alive, timeless, and unmistakably Chanel.
