Behind the Scenes Chanel Photoshoot: The Little Black Jacket with Karl Lagerfeld

Chanel revisits their all time classic, The Little Black Jacket. Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld produced the ambitious photoshoot, with iconic personalities from the worlds of fashion, music, sports and society wearing the iconic piece of fashion. From Yoko Ono, Tilda Swinton, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kanye West to Claudia Schiffer, Anna Wintour, Natalia Vodianova (one of my favourite models) and many others all participated in this stylish project.

A full website was launched to showcase all the photos of all the people wearing the iconic jacket. Check it out here.

I love Karl's Studio!!

He shoots while wearing leather studed gloves and never takes his shades off. He's a nutter but has great vision.

A great example of keeping it simple. One light. The strip lights we see in the video don't appear to be used for the image itself.. maybe to help him see better while wearing sunglasses?
