Books + Fashion = Karl Lagerfeld's Library Shoot

A Chanel photo shoot, captured by Karl Lagerfeld himself, in a library off the Rue St Germain. Have you ever heard anything so romantic?

The head designer and creative director of the fashion house was assisted by his muse, Lady Amanda Harlech, while Derek Blasberg documented the master at work and helpfully posted the result on Instagram.
