The little black jacket : Chanel's classic revisited

«Over 100 black and white photographs taken by Karl Lagerfeld of his favorite muses wearing the iconic jacket, are showcased and include the likes of Kanye West, Tilda Swinton, Yoko Ono, Sarah Jessica Parker among many other. "Long before I decided to turn to photography myself, I had always been struck by the idea of expressing my vision of things through an anonymous 'machine', as though it were a paintbrush or a pencil." Ever since then, Karl Lagerfeld has himself shot all the advertising campaigns for the brands he has worked for as a designer. His great passion for photography has led to several works being published as well as dozens of series for the great fashion magazines, information magazines (Vanity Fair, Stern...) and specialised publications (Connaissance des Arts, Interview...). "Today, photography is part of my life. I can't see life without the vision of photography. I look at the world and at fashion with the eye of a camera. This enables me to maintain a critical detachment in my everyday work, which helps me more than I could ever have imagined." As well as for his sense of style and allure, Karl Lagerfeld is also in great demand for his sense of image and for the visual identity that so forcefully emerges from his printed works on paper. Whether he is photographing for magazines, or for an exhibition at Art Basel, at the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie, his style is always instantly recognisable. "A highly personal vision of reality", as Anne Cartier-Bresson puts it.”»
