Three Weeks with Chanel
Coco Chanel: Three Weeks/1962, a collection of never-before-seen photographs by Douglas Kirkland set for release in September 2009 from Glitterati, provides an intimate look
at the woman who transformed twentieth century fashion. No stranger to
photographing some of the world's most beloved icons, including Man
Ray, Marilyn Monroe, and Judy Garland, among countless others, Douglas
Kirkland fixed his lens on Chanel for twenty-one days in 1962. Sent to
Paris on assignment for Look magazine, Kirkland ended up living
with Chanel for three weeks, catching both the public and the private
moments of Chanel's daily life. This photographic collection is as
staggeringly beautiful as it is an impassioned portraiture, shedding
new light on one of the great stories of the modern age.
From the moment she opened her millinery shop in 1912 to the creation of her signature "little black dress" in 1926, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel (1883-1971) epitomized smart elegance. Always cutting edge, her contributions to the fashion industry run the gamut from the popularization of costume jewelry and women's slacks to the creation of the first designer perfume, Chanel No. 5. Not just a record of Kirkland's impressions of "Mademoiselle," this book also features a compelling foreword by literary giant Judith Thurman, who poignantly contextualizes the relationship between Kirkland and Chanel, making this book every bit as incomparable as Mademoiselle herself.
