Synopsis
Gabrielle Chanel was a creature of contrasts: there was Mademoiselle Chanel of the most sumptuous baroque, of gilded wood and brilliant lacquer, of rococo mirrors and dazzling jewelry, a playful, unrestrained Coco; but there was also Gabrielle Chanel of the tailored suit and the little black dress, of the severe cut, of the utmost restraint, of rigour, in black and white. Out of this dialogue between ostentation and austerity, between hyperbole and understatement, the fine jewelry that she created all her life, depending on the occassion or encounter, was unparalleled in its insistence on luxury and refinement, unfettered in its themes and its imagination, and drew inspiration from tradition without ever being the slave of everyday formulas or market values. It is this rather secret heritage that the House of Chanel has drawn on for more than a decade in search of the spirit that emerges from the vocabulary of forms and the personal mythology of its creator, presented here as a sort of dialogue that spans the years. Here is a chance to discover the wealth of a repertoire whose range and inventiveness are only now being fully appreciated. Based on close archival research and interviews with Chanel's colleagues and other witnesses to her life and career, this book is the first to set in relief this singular facet of a fascinating personality: her passion for fabulous jewels, for exceptional stones, for improbable marvels, that should be considered 'with innocence, with naivety, like enjoying an apple tree in blossom along the road as we speed by in a car'., With the help of illustrations and documents based on archival research and interviews with Chanel's colleagues and contemporaries, this book presents a remarkable facet of a fascinating character and her jewellery designs., Coco Chanel's passion for fabulous jewels, for exceptional stones, and for improbable marvels produced pieces that were unparalleled in their insistence on luxury and refinement. Drawing inspiration from tradition, Chanel was never the slave of everyday formulas or market values. Yet she reinvented tradition in the most arresting and modern jewelry pieces, based on her love of color and her assured command of austere classical beauty. Chanel was a creature of contrasts: there was the Chanel of sumptuous baroque, of rococo mirrors and dazzling, playful, unrestrained jewelry; and there was the Chanel of the utmost restraint, of classicism à la française . Out of this dialogue between ostentation and austerity, the jewelry that Chanel created throughout her long career has been celebrated in many revivals of her exceptional taste. From the direct re-creations of the 1932 Collection to the newest interpretations of comets and stars, plumes and feathers, and Chanel's signature flower, the camellia, this book is true to the spirit of her enterprise. Classic images from the archives combine with exciting new photography to bring old and new together., Celebrating eighty yearsof Chanel jewelry fromthe iconic 1932 designsto the new 2012anniversary collection
