Cracking open \u201cChanel Haute Couture,\u201d<\/a> from Mack Books\u2019 Important Flowers imprint, is like entering the glory days of the still-iconic fashion<\/a> house through a secret back door. Inside, Coppola lends her indelible style and curatorial touch to the vast assortment of sketches, snapshots of Chanel<\/a>\u2019s most influential clients throughout the years lensed by no-less-influential photographers, and beyond. Those who have a penchant for a particular era of Chanel, be it when it operated under the creative direction of Karl Lagerfeld or Gabrielle \u201cCoco\u201d Chanel herself, will be happy to find that the book gives justice to every single part of the brand\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n Sofia Coppola ‘Chanel Haute Couture’ Coffee Table Book: Buy Online<\/p>\n Chanel Haute Couture, by Sofia Coppola and Important Flowers<\/p>\n $120<\/p>\n Buy Now at amazon <\/a><\/p>\n Price upon publish date of this article: $120<\/p>\n Coppola was able to pen the new release from a very personal place, given that she held a Chanel internship in Paris when she was only 15 years old. Coppola got the plush job with the help of a family friend and Chanel ambassador, actress Carole Bouquet, right after losing her brother. \u201cThat summer the hole in my heart was filled with the magic and beauty of the haute couture studio,\u201d the filmmaker recounts in the pages of \u201cChanel Haute Couture.\u201d<\/p>\n She soon became privy to the comings and goings of what felt like fashion\u2019s entire \u201cwho\u2019s who\u201d list: from model Veronica Webb to Lagerfeld himself. And though the book is compiled collage-style, it\u2019s easy to spot the evolution of the Chanel name and everything it stood for\u00a0as culture and trends progressed. Readers are given intimate glimpses of both classic imagery (in the vein of Marilyn Monroe applying her favorite perfume) and contemporary shots (Kristen Stewart pairing a Chanel gown with Nike sneakers on the set of \u201cSpencer,\u201d<\/a> say).<\/p>\n Channel has long been championing Coppola\u2019s work<\/a>, and vice versa, so a collaboration of this nature comes as no surprise at all. Just this week, the project was f\u00eated<\/a> by A-listers from Bill Murray and Vogue\u2019s new leader Chloe Malle to Gracie Abrams and Lauren S\u00e1nchez Bezos<\/a>.<\/p>\n But you don\u2019t have to be part of the Hollywood elite to immerse yourself headfirst into the glamorous, glitzy, and feminine world of Chanel.
