An in-depth look at Chanel's collections from the last decade by Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie ViardIf 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 Benot 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 long-awaited revised edition of the original sold-out 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, Ready-to-Wear, Cruise and Métiers dArt, which celebrates the savoir-faire of the numerous ateliers producing embroidery, beading, buttons and more-all by hand. Peverelli depicts the beauty and secrets of the backstage world, but also revealed are the fittings leading up to the show-exclusive meetings between Viard and the Chanel Studio at 31 Rue Cambon, where each models garment, accessories, make-up and hair are individually adjusted and perfected late through the night for the next mornings show.Born in 1970 in Switzerland, Benot Peverelli cofounded the music magazine Vibrations in 1991.
