London Fashion Week Men’s is over, but the fashion season is just starting. Haute Couture week is around the corner, starting in less than 10 days in Paris. In preparation, and to keep up with our new year\u2019s resolution to read more, we take a look at two of the new titles by\u00a0Carlton Books<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Little Book of Chanel<\/em><\/p>\n

\"chanel\"<\/p>\n

Coco Chanel left this world 46 years ago, but her star is shining ever so bright. After all, she is responsible for some of the most ground-breaking fashions of our world, such as the little black dress, boucl\u00e9 jacket and two-tone cap shoes. She gave women what they wanted, before they knew they needed it. With borrowing masculine silhouettes, she created functional feminine outfits, which were seen as revolutionary. Even after her death, she remains the immovable figurehead behind the House of Chanel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Little Book of Chanel\u201d by Emma Baxter Wright<\/a>, follows the history of the iconic brand from the beginning \u2013 when Gabrielle \u201cCoco\u201d Chanel was a hat maker, through the early 20s, when her revolutionary inventions in women\u2019s fashion became a favourite of many women, to the present days, when Maison Chanel is headed by the German designer Karl Lagerfeld.<\/p>\n

The Little Book of Prada<\/em><\/p>\n

\"prada\"<\/p>\n

The Milanese brand was a luxury leather goods company in its first years, and it has been transformed into a multinational empire by Miuccia Prada, who took over in the late 70s. The founder\u2019s granddaughter was preparing for a career in acting, which she didn\u2019t pursue in order to join the family business. This proved to be a successful decision, as her spirit and sense of style have been vital for the transformation of Prada<\/a>\u00a0from a small family business to one of the most influential houses in the Haute Couture world.<\/p>\n

Laia Farran Graves<\/a>\u2019s book discusses the huge part Prada played in minimalism in its first years, and later it\u2019s huge role in the return of femininity, with shapes influenced by 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Prada\u2019s diffusion line, Miu Miu<\/a> is also reviewed in the book, as well as recent collections, and the non-profit organisation Fondazione Prada, which supports art.<\/p>\n

Paris Haute Couture week<\/a>\u00a0is happening between 22nd and 26th January.<\/p>\n
