Cool Hunting
Ever the fashion pundits, the French have extended their obsession for what is très chic by asking design legend and man behind the house of Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, to design the 2009 issue of "Le Petit Larousse Illustrè." Translated in English as "Larousse Small Illustrated Dictionary," besides lending his artistic talents, Lagerfeld himself is included in the book's encyclopedia of proper names along with the likes of Brad Pitt and acclaimed French actress Marion Cotillard.
A realistic sketch of Lagerfeld graces the limited-edition box cover, next to the phrase habillé par Karl Lagerfeld (or "dressed by Karl Lagerfeld") and on the dictionary's front cover itself, La Semeuse blows the seeds of knowledge wearing nothing but blue evening gloves.
Released earlier this month, the book is available for €50 on French Amazon.
