香奈兒外套的秘密在於它始終如新，或說它從未過時 -- 卡爾·拉格斐
一件香奈爾外套，造就全世界最美的女人
打從香奈爾1926年推出第一件黑外套，這款花呢外衣，就跟香奈爾五號香水一樣，成為女性心中經典的時尚單品。
時尚大帝、香奈爾創意總監卡爾拉格斐，2011年邀集各界名人參與「香奈爾經典小黑外套」攝影計畫。由拉格斐親自掌鏡，耗時一年捕捉上百位來自世界各地、穿搭經典香奈爾小黑外套的美麗身影。同一款黑色斜紋軟呢香奈爾外套，在莎拉潔西卡派克、烏瑪舒曼、蜜拉喬娃維琪、肯伊威斯特、椎名林檎、玉木宏、蒼井優、湯唯、周迅、克勞蒂亞雪佛、小野洋子等眾名人詮釋下，展現萬種風情。
拉格斐在2012年夏天舉辦「香奈爾經典小黑外套」全球巡迴攝影展，從紐約出發，一路到東京、台灣、香港…引起全球時尚迷的廣大迴響。拉格斐更將這個攝影計畫成果，集結成這本最新攝影書《The Little Black Jacket》。(文/巧比非爾)
"The pleasure of wearing it must give, I suppose, a kind of happiness, and at the same time the object itself is beautified." ---Karl Lagerfeld
This book is Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld's reinterpretation of Chanel's iconic little black jacket. Lagerfeld has redesigned the jacket, transforming it into a modern, adaptable garment to be worn by both sexes of all ages. The Little Black Jacket contains Lagerfeld's photographs of celebrities wearing the jacket with individual flair - sometimes classic, sometimes irreverent, but always Chanel - and each styled by Carine Roitfeld. A range of accomplished actors, musicians, designers, models, writers and directors gets the little black jacket treatment, including Claudia Schiffer, Uma Thurman, Kanye West, Tilda Swinton, Baptiste Giabiconi, Yoko Ono and Sarah Jessica Parker. This book shows the astounding versatility of Chanel's vision in Lagerfeld's hands, and ensures the little black jacket's future as a timeless classic.
