THE LITTLE BLACK JACKET: CHANEL'S CLASSIC REVISITED

Through a series of black and white portraits, Karl Lagerfeld has collaborated with Carine Roitfeld to pay homage to one of the fashion house's most iconic pieces: the little black jacket.

For this project, the creative duo enlisted more than a hundred notable personalities. Actors, designers, singers, rock stars... Alexander Wang, Anna Wintour, Haider Ackermann, Kanye West, Sarah Jessica Parker, Georgia May Jagger, Alice Dellal, and more, all of whom are wearing little black jacket in their own unique way, reflecting the versatility of Chanel's vision.

The series of portraits are currently on display in an exhibition in Tokyo until April 15 and will be published in a lavish coffee-table book entitled The Little Black Jacket: Chanel's classic revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld later this year.

Here's a sneak preview of what went on behind-the-scenes

VOGUE NEDERLAND

 

European spring has arrived and so too has the first edition of the Dutch fashion bible!

The debut cover of Vogue Nederland features a trio of homegrown models, Ymre Stiekema, Josefien Rodermans and Romee Strijd, clad in bright spring hues. So appropriate.

The contrast of the vibrant garments with the white background and black title gives the magazine a real vintage feel to it. For the premiere cover, it is a lot more understated than I had anticipated, nevertheless, the brights and pastels really capture the mood of the season.

My mission now is to get my hands on the first issue!
