"CHANEL Métiers d'art 2020/21 Le Château des Dames," a CHANEL collection book featuring photographs by German photographer Juergen Teller, is not a photobook, but rather the brand's official collection book documenting Chanel's Métiers d'art collection. However, with Teller handling the photography and Steidl handling the printing, it possesses a level of perfection that surpasses typical lookbooks and show catalogs, resembling a photobook. Since the 1990s, Teller has distanced himself from excessive staging in fashion photography, blurring the lines between commerce and art through improvisation and a rough texture, and this perspective is strongly reflected in this book. Against the backdrop of the historical space of Château de Chenonceau, the clothing, bodies, decorations, and space, supported by the workshop's handiwork, are woven together not merely as a record of products, but as a single visual world. This publication conveys the craft context of Métiers d'Art, and at the same time, through its authorship and the quality of its bookbinding, it is positioned as a highly informative collection book that transcends the boundaries between fashion catalogs and photographic expression.
