KARL LAGERFELD photo montage/sketch COCO CHANEL SUITE Ritz Paris / Cecil Beaton

Karl Lagerfield photo montage/sketch from 1996 titled'COCO CHANEL SUITE' as suite named at Hôtel RITZ Paris in honour of Gabrielle'Coco' Chanel who famously resided at the hotel for much of her life. Photo montage, re photographed/printed and over sketch-painted. 1956 being the reference to Coco Chanel's successful return to haute couture (collection photographed at Coco Chanel's suite at the Ritz) and marked 40 years to Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld showing haute couture at the Ritz for the first time in 1996.

The show at the Ritz commemorated the 25th anniversary of her passing in 1971. A unique and original commemorative piece by Lagerfeld honouring the legacy of Gabrielle'Coco' Chanel. Framed (+glazed) and dated/reference numbered on reverse in accordance to Lagerfeld's archiving.

Interest in Lagerfeld and his work is growing and will continue, having transcended the fashion world to becoming a global style icon and brand. The inaugural prize being presented September 4th this year. No doubt collection retrospective exhibitions will follow at the likes of the V&A and quite likely eclipse interest and attendance records recently set by the Christian Dior exhibition this year.
