SLEEK. CHIC. NOTORIOUSLY GUARDED. WELCOME TO THE SECRET WORLD OF
COCO CHANEL. Justine Picardie’s definitive biography explores the
dark mysteries hidden beneath the shimmering surface of a fabled
fashion icon. Unveiling remarkable details about Coco Chanel’s
traumatic childhood and her flight into unconventional adulthood,
this beautifully constructed portrait reveals her passionate and
painful past, her turbulent loves and losses, her quest for fame
and fortune, and how she transformed herself into her own most
powerful creation. Feared and revered by her contemporaries, Chanel
died in 1971, but her legacy lives on as an enduring global brand.
Drawing on interviews with her last surviving friends and
relatives, and unprecedented archival research, Justine Picardie
brings Chanel out of hiding, unpicking the seams between reality
and myth, and telling a timeless story that uncovers the true art
and heart of fashion. This special new edition has been extensively
revised and updated, and offers a uniquely authoritative account of
the greatest designer in the world. Adding fresh insights and
discoveries, it comes complete with a compelling array of
previously unseen images from the Chanel archives.
