Karl Lagerfeld- The Little Black Jacket














109 portraits of celebrities and fashion personalities all wearing the same timeless Chanel Little Black jacket? Yes please Karl! Karl Lagerfeld's newest exhibition is the perfect mix of fashion and photography.

Styled by Carine Roitfeld, (who has worked as editor-in-chief for Vogue,Paris), the photos are edgy, interesting and no two photographs look the same. 


The photographs show off the versatility of a classic piece of fashion; Alice Dellal,model, wears her jacket under a leather vest with netting and studs, Astrid Berges-Frisbey, actress, wears hers tied nonchalantly around her waist paired with a top hat, tartan and a lighting bolt over her eye that Gaga would be proud of. Georgia May Jagger wears hers with chains, a bra and not much else.  


The exhibition is a gorgeous celebration of the garments longevity and proves classic pieces never go out of fashion.


The exhibition is currently on at The Saatchi Gallery is London, and it's only a three minute walk from Sloane Square Tube Station. The lovely people there were also giving out A1 size prints of the photos, who doesn't love a freebie! 


I'd highly recommend you go and see it, however only if you can deal with the shocking realisation as you exit afterwards that you will have to save for at least a year to afford your own Chanel Little Black jacket.
