Long before social media existed, Gabrielle Chanel was the first impact of beauty.

The founder and name of the French fashion house recognized the transformative power of lipstick, loose powder and redness, both for herself and for its clients. In 1924, it started a composition line.

“It was a sudden act, however the collection grabbed the imagination of its audience, led to an international cheering and flourished in a century of make-up, modernity and magic,” writes Natasha Fraser in her exquisite coffee table book, “Chanel. The seduction of the composition.”

The 408-page volume, located on a shiny red lipstick, traces the 100-year history of Chanel’s cosmetic creation and contains iconic images of the campaign lened by the world’s leading photographers and filmmakers. One who is who from celebrities and high models charms excess, from Diane Kruger caught by Patrick Demarchelier with a velvet complexion in a drunken eye stolen -eyed kristen by Mario Testino, along with a Margot Robbie immortal from Karim Sadli. Gisele Bünchen, Kirsty Hume, Shalom Harlow, Lily-Rose Depp and Keira Knightley are among the many famous faces presented.

Fraser, a tall resident of Paris who the author of “Monsieur Dior,” Loulou de la Faliaise “and” Sam Spiegel “, as well as two memories, was given access to archives and experts. She writes a deep source account of hurly-burlyProduct innovation, knitted along with historical background, fashion reports, interior anecdotes and quotations from Mademoiselle Chanel.
