It was he who decided to pay homage to this iconic fashion-piece; he invited more than a hundred celebrities to wear different versions of the "little black jacket" for a photographic collection that was presented in an exhibition in Tokyo, Japan. In addition, he posted the images of the photographed celebrities in a book titled "The Little Black Jacket: Chanel's Classic Revisited” by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld. This book will be available in the fall of 2012.
