The story of a young girl who transformed herself from an
impoverished orphan to one of the wealthiest and most famous women
in the world, this book features images and photographs of Chanel's
many iconic contributions to women's fashion such as Chanel No. 5
perfume, the little black dress, the Chanel tweed suit, the Chanel
2.55 bag and the Chanel sling back shoes. The book details how
Chanel was a friend to Winston Churchill and Edward Prince of
Wales, whilst simultaneously embracing the carefree, unfettered
bohemian life of Paris in the 1920's, where she moved easily
amongst the great creatives of the era, writers, painters,
musicians, actors, such as Jean Cocteau, Sergei Diaghilev, Igor
Stravinsky, Jean Renoir and Luchino Visconti. Couturière to stars
of the Hollywood silver screen, politics, and French and British
high society, Coco Chanel counted Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe,
Jackie Kennedy, Jane Fonda and myriad others among her customers.
This is the story of her remarkable life and fashion, illustrated
with beautiful images.
