‘Chanel Backstage’ is an immense and very special tome consisting of four weighty volumes covering each of Chanel’s four collections: haute couture, ready-to-wear, cruise, and métiers d’art. Its edit was made from the more than 3,000 original pictures that Swiss photographer Benoît Peverelli has taken backstage at Chanel’s spectacular, almost impossibly glamorous shows at Paris’s Grand Palais, and various far-flung locations around the globe, since 2010. But that’s not all. Peverelli has also captured a series of events that very few have been lucky enough to see in the flesh: Karl Lagerfeld overseeing the fittings before every show, working with the models very late into the night at the famous studio at 31 Rue Cambon. If you’d like to travel behind the scenes of the fashion world, ‘Chanel Backstage’ is the perfect book for you.
