Self-inventor extraordinaire, Chanel revolutionized the lifestyle of her time by inventing a modern concept of luxe minimalism, elevating humble fabrics such as jersey and tweed to couture status, giving birth to a new silhouette both sophisticated and discreet, setting her stamp on the twentieth century with her modern spirit of understated luxury. The house of Chanel represents modern fashion. Under its founder, the style of the modern woman was invented, through the image of Gabrielle Chanel herself. She dressed women to be free, and her emancipated clothes reflected the shifting landscape of society. Her designs fundamentally affected what we wear, and how we wear it. The work of the house under her successor Karl Lagerfeld has transformed fashion anew: He drew the template for a fashion designer reviving a moribund house with elements from its own history. Just as Chanel created modern fashion, Lagerfeld in turn established the blueprint of the modern fashion house. She reshaped the clothes women wear, he reshaped the industry that makes them. This book is a literary museum exhibition, a curated selection of 100 iconic and signature looks of the house of Chanel, from the timeless Little Black Dress to the impeccably simple tweed suit, the apothecary-style perfume bottle, two-tone pumps, abundant strands of faux pearls and stones, and diamond-quilted leather handbag, from Mademoiselle\u2019s revolutionary designs to Karl Lagerfeld\u2019s unexpected and even irreverent variations on her original codes. Selected by fashion journalist Alexander Fury, Chanel: The Impossible Collection showcases the best images from the world\u2019s foremost editorial photographers, specialist museums, and private collections, including rarely seen archival photos, this handcrafted Ultimate Collection volume is the quintessential compendium for fashion aficionados. Complimentary white gloves and signature canvas tote bag are included with each purchase from Assouline's Ultimate Collection.","availableForSale":true,"vendor":"ASSOULINE","tags":["Active-Product","badge-best-seller","badge::Back in Stock","badge::Currently Unavailable","badge::Pre-Order","book","display-tab-craftmanship","Home","home goods","live-rates","mothers day","omit:zest","Online Store","ultimate"],"publishedAt":"2025-08-15T20:17:12Z","images":{"edges":[{"node":{"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0530\/3815\/3898\/files\/Chanel-IC_01_6265e74d-2af0-4a6b-9758-55ffd0199333.jpg?v=1757305923"}},{"node":{"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0530\/3815\/3898\/files\/chanel-the-impossible-collection-assouline-2.jpg?v=1757305923"}}]},"priceRange":{"maxVariantPrice":{"amount":"1200.0"},"minVariantPrice":{"amount":"1200.0"}},"options":[{"name":"Title","values":["Default Title"]}],"totalInventory":10,"collections":{"edges":[{"node":{"title":"All Products","id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Collection\/267342151850"}},{"node":{"title":"Home","id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Collection\/284779315370"}},{"node":{"title":"Assouline","id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Collection\/313208930474"}},{"node":{"title":"Active - In Stock","id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Collection\/328748269738"}},{"node":{"title":"Mother's Day","id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Collection\/331090395306"}}]},"variants":{"edges":[{"node":{"id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/ProductVariant\/45225544024234","sku":"9781614288107","compareAtPriceV2":null,"priceV2":{"amount":"1200.0"}}}]}}
Pops of red. Giant hats. Nautical stripes. Here’s a look at Ralph Lauren’s private, friends & family showing of Spring/Summer ’26 during New York Fashion Week.
Bal Harbour Shops has been the scene of many a love affair. Yours may have been a solo outing, or the tender moments shared amongst family—dining at Carpaccio, or feeding the koi in our pond. Maybe it’s the place you go when you need to stroll, feel inspired, or where you reward yourself on the most special of occasions.
Whatever the reason you come back to visit, there was a first time that left an imprint.
Comment below and share your Love at First Visit story.
Our story comes to its dramatic close. The two collide, and what’s revealed? A love note that reads “It was love at first visit.” (That message is a wink to a 1960s ad with the tagline: “It’s love at first sight of Bal Harbour Shops.”)
It is at that moment that our male protagonist realizes the notes weren’t from a secret paramour... If only he knew that all he had to do was share her with Bal Harbour Shops.
Not only is the arrival scene the climax of the film—the dashing young man setting out to find the interloper who’s sending his partner love notes—but it also places one of the Shops’ most iconic visual elements at center stage. The porte-cochère is the arrival moment designed 60 years ago, that is still as impactful today.
