Karl Lagerfeld: The Little Black Jacket: Chanel's Classic Revisited

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.

THE LITTLE BLACK JACKET?????

March 5, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I usually buy all books referring to Coco Chanel as I've been a faithful buyer of Chanel fashion for 28 years.When I went to the boutique in Cannes,the book was on a coffee table and I opended it in the middle,to have an idea,then I decided to buy it.Unluckily,it is not a book about the little black jacket,but the way a few well known people could wear it. Pictures are beautyful,but I looked for something more and something different

A little black disappointment!

This book was a total waste of my money. I was looking forward to a well put together book with a collection of black Chanel jackets created throughout collections, only to end up with the very same jacket displayed page after page. Very very disappointed.

OK - that's it.

I just received this book and I immediately sent it back.

First, it is a very large and heavy book and it is a paperback. So it is very difficult to handle without destroying the binding, the cover and the pages.

I probably should have read more about it before ordering it, but it is simply a series of photos of people wearing the jackets and all the photos are black and white. I was honestly not interested enough to page through the entire book because of how difficult it was to handle. I thought some of the photos were striking, but there was not enough to keep me interested.

I love fashion, but I did not find this book particularly inspiring.

over-hyped and disappointing.

September 26, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I guess I should have read the fine print. If you were hoping for a selection of little black jackets culled from the Chanel archives by KL and Carine as I was, you'll be disappointed. It's only one jacket, with slight variations and styled in many different ways on many famous people- but essentially the same jacket. Of course since only one jacket has been chosen as their canvas there are the predictable variations of deconstruction, wearing it backwards, etc...We've seen it all before. This book has more to do with Karl Lagerfeld's celebrity portraiture than the LBJ. Fine if that's what you were expecting but I was bored after several pages. It would have been much more interesting to match the personalities to the perfect little black jacket from the archives. Missed opportunity.
