Books, dedications, photographs, paintings, drawings and art objects from her Parisianapartment, along with jewelry and fragrances together resonate with a wardrobe of fashion creations by Karl Lagerfeld, and unveil like a library, Gabrielle Chanel’s vocabulary, which continues to be constantly enriched.
