Peripatetic Chanel head designer, book publisher, photographer - and now, film director - Karl Lagerfeld founded Metiers d`Arts in 2002 to showcase the talents of Chanel`s seven specialist ateliers (that provide the couture house with costume jewelry, embroidery and millinery). This volume focuses on Chanel`s 2008-2009 Metiers d`Arts collection Paris-Moscow. If Paris-Moscow indulges Lagerfeld`s fascination for Russia through fashion, then Russian Connection is that fascination embodied in book form. Lagerfeld`s images evoke Imperial Russia, Constructivism, Catherine the Great, Faberge, Russian folklore and Coco Chanel`s own passion for Russia, via the great Ballets Russes, Byzantine jewelry and her affair with the Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich. Included here is a DVD featuring Lagerfeld`s directorial debut, Coco 1913/Chanel 1923, a silent black-and-white film depicting Chanel`s flirtation with Russian-Parisian emigre society in the 1910s and 1920s.
