Chanel's Little Black Jacket exhibition will arrive at London's Saatchi Gallery on October 12, following showings in Tokyo, New York, Taipei and Hong Kong.
The project, which was the brainchild of Chanel's creative director Karl Lagerfeld and ex- Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld, began with a coffee table book consisting of photographs of 'friends of the House' - models, stylists, actors, designer and musicians - all wearing Chanel's classic little black jacket in different ways.

The photographs display the versatility and timelessness of the iconic Chanel jacket through 113 photographs shot by Lagerfeld himself, with each personality adapting the garment to reflect their own inimitable style - for example, it is worn as a cape by Lily Allen and even transformed into a vest on model Edie Campbell.
Running simultaneously with the exhibition, window displays in Chanel's Bond Street, Sloane Street and Brompton Cross boutiques will present a selection of jackets from the latest collections.
The accompanying book, "The Little Black Jacket: CHANEL'S classic revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld," will be available worldwide in bookstores this autumn.
From October 12 until October 28 at The Saatchi Gallery, Duke of York's HQ, King's Road, London, SW3 4RY. Admission will be free. For more information visit www.thelittleblackjacket.chanel.com,
