This limited-edition bespoke cover for Harper’s Bazaar’s October edition celebrates the V&A’s new blockbuster exhibition Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto.
The cover features a portrait of Chanel, photographed by François Kollar for a 1937 edition of Harper’s Bazaar at the Ritz in Paris; the designer loved the image so much that she subsequently chose it as an advertisement for Chanel No 5. Inside the issue, Chanel’s biographer Justine Picardie re-examines her life in light of new revelations that she helped the French Resistance during World War II. Elsewhere, there are exclusive interviews with icons including Saoirse Ronan, Marina Abramovich, Camille Cottin and Kendall Jenner, alongside Bazaar’s ultimate guide to modern beauty.
