A glamorous tribute to Karl Lagerfeld and his highly influential creations for Chanel, captured in striking, previously unpublished behind-the-scenes photographs by US Vogue photographer Robert Fairer.
 
A treasure trove of inspiration, this book is a must-have reference for dedicated Chanel fans the world over and fashion and photography lovers alike.

Casting a new light on one of the best-loved chapters in fashion history, Karl Lagerfeld Unseen: The Chanel Years illuminates key Chanel collections from behind the scenes of nearly two decades of the designer’s work.

From discreet client fittings in rue Cambon’s immaculate black-and-beige salons to previously unseen backstage moments that show models, hairdressers, stylists, makeup artists, and even Karl Lagerfeld himself at work, photographer Robert Fairer’s stunning and high-energy photographs capture the elegance, glamour, and spirit that defined Lagerfeld’s shows for Chanel.
