CHANEL - Fittings and Backstage
If youre ever lucky enough to make it backstage at one of Chanels fashion shows, at Paris Grand Palais or a different exotic location, you might catch a glimpse of a certain photographer passionately clicking away as he weaves his way past models, celebrities and artistic director Virginie Viard. That photographer is Benoît Peverelli, and this book is an in-depth look at Karl Lagerfelds collections for Chanel from 2010 to his last, shown in March 2019, and reveals the remarkable continuation of the story of the house through Viards collections. CHANEL Fittings and Backstage is the longawaited revised edition of the original soldout book of 2018. Containing more than 2,000 photos and nearly 20 new collections, the publication comprises four volumes, one for each of Chanels collections: Haute Couture, ReadytoWear, Cruise, and Métiers dArt which celebrates the savoirfaire of the numerous ateliers producing embroidery, beading, buttons and moreall by hand. Peverelli depicts the beauty and secrets of the backstage world, but also revealed are the fittings leading up to the showexclusive meetings between Viard and the Chanel Studio at 31 Rue Cambon, where each models garment, accessories, makeup and hair are individually adjusted and perfected late through the night for the next mornings show.
