Little Black Jacket: Chanel’s Classic Revisited.'
The book, set to be released in August, includes 113 photographs of
celebrities, editors, models, It-girls wearing the label's iconic
cropped tweed which first came out in 1954. The book will be sold
for $98, upon release. In an interview with Gotham Magazine,
Lagerfeld said that "every designer dreams of designing the Chanel
jacket. It's up there with jeans or the T-shirt; it's
gender-neutral. That is to say, it can be womenswear or menswear."
He then added that, "eternal can only last if it stays up-to-date
[and for] this reason, the jacket is eternal."

The photographs in 'The Little Black Jacket: Chanel's Classic
Revisited' can be seen in an exhibition with the same name held by
Chanel in New York City. The traveling photography exhibit will
stop in New York City for one week, beginning June 8 and will be
open each day from 12pm to 7pm. Lots of celebrities, designers and
models attended the opening party of the exhibit that took place
Wednesday night, on June 6, in SoHo. Young designer Alexander Wang,
who is also featured in the book, said that, "Carine’s one of the
most down-to-earth people and Karl’s so easygoing too. I was in and
out of there. It was so pleasant."
Carine Roitfeld, present at the party, was wearing an
interpretation of the jacket that she created from a skirt and
explained a little bit her ideas behind the styling process of the
portraits lensed by Lagerfeld. "You know Karl, you have to surprise
him" she said. "I was very surprised to see Karl with the little
kids because you don’t imagine Karl with a little girl or little
boy and he was so good....He’s very nice and soft with the kids.
You don’t imagine that with Karl," Roitfeld added.
