Hailed as 'the most influential female designer of the twentieth
century', Coco Chanel pioneered classic easy-to-wear fashion for
the modern woman. She arrived on the fashion scene when feathers,
lace and ostentatious beads were favourites, and proceeded to
re-invent couture using new materials, like jersey, for outfits
that were suitable for everyday wear yet still elegant. With
original illustrations and images from celebrated photographers,
such as Cecil Beaton, Bronwyn Cosgrave traces the story of Coco
Chanel's iconic designs and glamorous, racy life. In 1921 Coco
opened her Chanel boutique in Paris - still a destination store
today - and launched her first perfume, Chanel No.5. Perhaps her
most important contribution to the fashion world was the simple,
much-imitated 'little black dress' which made its debut in 1926.
Other landmark creations include the Chanel suit and the quilted
handbag. A testament to her lasting influence, these legendary
designs remain as popular today as when they first appeared. Vogue,
the international fashion bible, has charted the careers of
designers through the decades. Its unique archive of photographs,
taken by the leading photographers of the day from Cecil Beaton to
Mario Testino, and original illustrations, together with its stable
of highly respected fashion writers, make Vogue the most
authoritative and prestigious source of reference on fashion. With
a circulation of over 160,000 and a readership of over 1,400,000,
no brand is better positioned to present a library on the great
fashion designers of the modern age.
