Coco Chanel & Douglas Kirkland

 REMEMBERING DOUGLAS KIRKLAND

Kirkland photographed models in Chanel, Coco Chanel was pleased with what she saw and allowed him to spend three weeks with her at the 31 Rue Cambon salon and workrooms. Commenting on the experience, Kirkland said, “Chanel had a great impact on me. She opened my eyes as a photographer, but also as a student of life. It was life-changing for me.”
