Opening Night of The Little Black Jacket

Forget the Manolos and Choos, last night it was all about the little black jacket. Chanel’s premiere supporters gathered at 18 Wooster Street in Soho to toast the opening of Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld’s anticipated exhibition, “The Little Black Jacket”—a collection of photographs that showcases Chanel’s iconic jacket.

Guests including Linda Evangelista, Pharrell Williams, Lily Collins and Zoe Kravitz crowded into the entrance way of the compact gallery space. Those featured in the forthcoming Little Black Jacket book—which the exhibit is celebrating—searched the space for their portraits. The book, which features 113 people, includes some of fashion’s big muses (Sarah Jessica Parker, Tilda Swinton, Jane Birkin), fresh faces (Elizabeth Olsen and both Fanning sisters) and even Lagerfeld’s own godson, 3-year-old Hudson Kroenig. If you’re in New York, you can check out the exhibit starting today through June 15, noon to 7 pm. The book, which is already available for pre-order, will be available on August 15th.
