Product Insights & Style Tips
Assouline Chanel: The Legend Of An Icon is a black and white portrait of Chanel that translates a century of influence into a refined, bookish luxury. This updated volume presents a curated selection of a hundred iconic pieces and insightful text by Alexander Fury, supported by archival and contemporary imagery. The paperback edition runs 240 pages with 180 illustrations, released in May 2023, and measures about 9.8 inches wide by 13 inches high by 1.3 inches deep, weighing roughly 5.4 pounds. English language narration anchors the storytelling, capturing how Gabrielle Chanel redefined fashion through luxe minimalism and a silhouette that liberated women from constricting dress. The catalog tone stays rigorous, honoring the brand’s heritage while highlighting its enduring relevance.
Two legends of style converge to celebrate over the top luxury with a scenically designed artifact. A custom leather trunk, crafted by Goyard for Assouline and outfitted in white Goyard print, houses a trove of 100 Memoire photo biographies on art, fashion, design and architecture. This is less a read and more a tactile, collectible experience for collectors and fashion minds who want a deep, well sourced chronicle of Chanel’s enduring impact and the fashion house’s continued significance.
