Un capo che è diventato un’icona e che, come commenta l’attuale direttore creativo Lagerfeld, ogni stilista sogna di aver inventato. Un passpartout, come il jeans e la t-shirt. Un pezzo che compare in tutti gli armadi del mondo e a cui ogni donna non rinuncerebbe mai.
Ed è proprio per celebrare il suo essere così sontuosamente moderna che Lagerfeld insieme a Carine Roitfeld, ex editor- in-chief di Vogue Paris e attuale produttrice freelance di nuomerosi progetti paralleli, hanno dato vita al progetto The Little Black Jacket: Chanel’s Classic Revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld che porta nuovamente sulla scena uno dei simboli storici che ha contribuito a fondare le basi del costume moderno.
La Little Black Jacket è fotografata sulle spalle di attori, cantanti e modelle, plasmandosi ogni volta a seconda del soggetto che la interpreta. 113 fotografie, scattate da Lagerfeld in persona per scoprire la versatilità e l’atemporalità dell’iconica giacca Chanel. Davanti all’obbiettivo di questo genio personaggi come Roberto Bolle, Uma Thurman, Yoko Ono, Anna Wintour, Jane Birkin e ancora Milla Jovovich, Sarah Jessica Parker, Vanessa Paradis e molti altri. Tutti a omaggiare Mademoiselle Chanel e la sua creatività insuperabile. Dopo aver toccato Tokyo, New York, Hong Kong, la mostra The Little Black Jacket è arrivata a Milano accompagnata dal classico party esclusivo , alla Rotonda della Besana dal 6 al 20 aprile 2013. Sul sito http://thelittleblackjacket.chanel.com/ è possibile vivere l’intera esperienza attraverso un viaggio nel mondo Chanel.

[column grid=”2″ span=”1″]Produced by Chanel on the 5th of February 1954, after she came back to her atelier a little more than seventy years old, it’s the symbol of dynamicity and modernity, which are subjects dear to Coco. The Black Jacket was, infact, a contemporary and evolving garment for emancipated and fashionable women. A perfectly proportioned garment, which carries the traces of the fascination that Chanel felt for Tyrolean jackets worn by staff. A jacket with a conspicuously male line, with four pockets and a woven edge to act as a profile, where Mademoiselle Chanel saw the dear Parisian spirit and changed it into a symbol of rebellion and independence, which even nowadays, fascinates women of all ages. A clothes who has become an icon and, as says the current creative director Lagerfeld, every designer dreams of inventing. A master key, such as jeans and t-shirt. A piece that appears in all the closets of the world and that every woman would ever give up. To celebrate its modernity Lagerfeld, together with Roitfeld, has created the project The Little Black Jacket: Chanel’s Classic Revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld which leads back to the scene one of the historical landmarks that helped to lay the foundations of the modern costume. The Little Black Jacket has been photographed on the shoulders of actors, singers and models, changing itself according to who is wearing it. Lagerfeld took 113 photos to discover the versatility and timelessness of the iconic Chanel jacket. In front of the camera of this genius: Roberto Bolle, Uma Thurman, Yoko Ono, Anna Wintour, Jane Birkin and even Milla Jovovich, Sarah Jessica Parker, Vanessa Paradis and many others. Everyone paying homage to Mademoiselle Chanel and her unsurpassed creativity. After Tokyo, New York and Hong Kong, the exhibition The Little Black Jacket arrives in Milan from 6 to 20 of april 2013 at Rotonda della Besana.
