In Chanel: An Intimate Life, acclaimed biographer Lisa Chaney tells
the controversial story of the fashion icon who starred in her
tumultuous era Coco Chanel was many things to many people. Raised
in emotional and financial poverty, she became one of the defining
figures of the twentieth century. She was mistress to aristocrats,
artists and spies. She broke rules of style and decorum, seducing
both men and women, yet in her work expected the highest standards.
She took a 'plaything' and turned it into a global industry which
defined the modern woman. Filled with new insights and thrilling
discoveries, Lisa Chaney's Chanel provides the most defining and
provocative portrait yet. 'Chaney's research is laudable,
uncovering fresh details of Chanel's well-trodden rag trade to
riches story' Evening Standard 'An unflinching examination of the
historically inscrutable designer' Vogue Lisa Chaney has lectured
and tutored in the history of art and literature, made TV and radio
broadcasts on the history of culture, and reviewed and written for
journals and newspapers, including The SundayTimes, the Spectator
and the Guardian. She is the author of two previous biographies:
Elizabeth David and Hide-and-Seek With Angels: The Life of J.M.
Barrie.
