These works of beauty styled by Carine Roitfeld and captured by Karl Lagerfeld demonstrate the true versatility and style-provoking assets The Little Black Jacket has to offer. Modelled by musicians, dancers, actors and models; it just goes to show how Coco Chanel really instilled the true essence of her label ''Fashion passes, style remains''. 

This exhibition is not one to be sniffed at; yes it is essentially about fashion but the artistry that goes hand in hand with design, material, cut and so many key factors that play a role in the making of such an iconic garment, makes this exhibition a true thing of wonderment.

Without the use of garish labels Lagerfeld has epitomised quintessential Chanel.  This is a jacket that can be worn by many and individualised by one. This is Chanel.

The Little Black Jacket exhibition is in London at the Saatchi Gallery from 12th - 28th October: Put it in your Little Black Book because it's a date.
