Two evocative original large-format photographs of the great fashion designer together with the creators of the 1969 musical Coco, librettist Alan Jay Lerner, composer André Previn, and producer Frederick Brisson. The creators of the musical are shown at the Chanel salon, perched together with Chanel on the stairs, surrounded by mirrors and sitting together while Chanel pins a model's dress. Some light foxing to the margins of one image; otherwise overall in fine condition. 14.75 x 10.25 inches (37.5 x 26 cm).

Coco was a 1969 Broadway musical with a book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by André Previn, inspired by the life of Coco Chanel. It starred Katharine Hepburn in her only stage musical. Although the role had initially been intended for producer Frederick Brisson's wife, Rosalind Russell, Hepburn was convinced to take the role after receiving vocal coaching and meeting Coco Chanel. After 40 previews, the Broadway production opened on December 18, 1969 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre, where it ran for 329 performances.
