Review: Lagerfeld Chanel Fashion to be seen. - Bought this late 2022 and I am very pleased to have this coffee table book on the fashion that Karl Lagerfeld's produced for Chanel. Seriously interesting photography by Robert Fairer documenting the fashion shown at many various fashion shows, some catwalk, but more interestingly, most photographs are taken 'backstage' where most of the excitement of new clothes ranges and catwalk shows take part. You will not regret having this edition in your collection. I do have other books by Robert Fairer in the 'Unseen' series too, they are all very interesting and fun. Review: Lindo - Maravilhoso
