Chanel Shows: Fashion Mise-en-Scene - Émilie Hammen Zator

This essential reference reveals the creative inspirations, concepts, and set décors of Chanel’s runway shows, which contribute to the legend of the House. Through seven themes inspired by Gabrielle Chanel’s guiding principles, this book offers an original perspective on the history of fashion through the décors of Chanel fashion shows. Each unique, global event is bespoke, with a custom set and music designed to present the runway collection as a complete concept that makes a lasting impression. The designers—from Gabrielle Chanel to Karl Lagerfeld, Virginie Viard, and Matthieu Blazy—conceived each show with the same desire: to showcase each collection in the setting that best complements the fashion.
