Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel is an icon of fashion, and can lay claim to
having invented the look of the 20th century. At the height of the
Belle Epoque, she stripped women of their corsets and feathers,
bobbed their hair, put them in bathing suits and sent them out to
get tanned in the sun. She introduced the little black dress;
trousers for women; costume jewelry; the exquisitely comfortable
suit that became her trademark. Early in the Roaring Twenties,
Chanel made the first ever couture perfume - No. 5 - presenting it
in the famous little square-cut flagon that, inspired by Picasso
and Cubism, became the arch symbol of the Art Deco style. No. 5
remains the most popular scent ever created. This volume, published
to accompany a landmark exhibition in Paris, traces the birth and
evolution of Chanel's timeless style. Specially commissioned
photographs by Julien T. Hamon showcase the clothing, while essays
by fashion historians illuminate a period, an event or a theme.
Rare archival documents, including portraits of Gabrielle Chanel
herself, round out the book.
