'Karl Lagerfeld Unseen: The Chanel Years is a pass not only to the backstage of the shows, but also to the Paris atelier on rue Cambon. Unique photographs reveal the secrets of the work of models, make-up artists, tailors, as well as the designer himself and his closest entourage'

'Behind-the-scenes photographs chosen from tens of thousands of images from the mid-1990s to 2006 immortalize not only Lagerfeld’s voracious curiosity and vast range, but also the supermodel and celebrity-fuelled golden era of fashion. Consider it your cheat sheet for the Met Gala's 2023 theme, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty"'
