Mademoiselle: Coco Chanel Summer '62
Karl Lagerfeld recently published, with Gerhard Steidl an amazing book on Coco Chanel's summer '62 collection. Photographer, Douglas Kirkland made the book come to life. Karl speaks so highly of her, which is expected.
"The summer of '62 was her last summer as the queen of fashion. Jeans and miniskirts were on their way to invade the world. Hating them and letting people know publicly how much she loathed the fashions to come she put herself instantly in the postition of the has-been oracle of style and fashion."
Karl also dispelled the rumors of Alber Elbaz replacing him at Chanel by simply saying "I will die here."
You heard the man...the legend.
