Coco Chanel Enters her Shop on the Rue Fauborg St. Honore
-
Description
Photographed in 1957, Coco Chanel is seen entering her boutique in Paris. According to LIFE, Coco is “…credited with either inventing or popularizing the short skirt, the flat chest, the sling pump, turtlenecks…” She is shown here in her “ever present” hat. “ The only reason I wear my hat all the time is so I can tell people I don’t want to see that I am on my way out”.
Mark Shaw's informal, grainy, black and white images of Coco Chanel were created using an unobtrusive 35mm camera and film processing methods that enabled him to eliminate all other photographic equipment. Although Shaw's techniques increased the grain and contrast of the photographs, the lack of intimidating, distracting flash and lights allowed him to capture an unusually relaxed Chanel.
Image size 22" x 22"/Paper size 24" x 36"
