About this product

Product Information

The best-selling, most abundantly illustrated biography available of fashion icon Coco Chanel, written by Edmonde Charles-Roux, her close friend and chosen official biographer. "A model pictorial biography." -- New York Times * "This Chanel biography is as elegantly turned out as its subject." -- Washington Post In this beautiful volume, the glorious life and world of the incomparable Coco Chanel shines again through lively text and a staggering collection of photographs, shedding new light on one of the great stories of the modern age. Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel (1883-1971) is a fashion icon unlike any other, arguably the most influential designer of the 20th century, whose creations remain as popular today as when they were introduced a century ago. She invented modern, chic clothing for women: she freed them from corsets, bobbed their hair, put them in simple bathing suits, and sent them out to get tanned in the sun. She introduced slacks, costume jewelry, the exquisitely comfortable and elegant knit suit, the "little black dress," and the now-ubiquitous quilted handbag. She made the first couture perfumeNo. 5which remains the most popular scent ever created. And she knew and collaborated with the leading creative minds of her day: the likes of Picasso, Diaghilev, Stravinsky, Cocteau, Jean Renoir, and Viscontias she matched their modernist innovations by liberating women from the prison of 19th-century fashion and introducing a whole new concept of style.

  • Great book, highly recommend it!

    This is a hard copy so its a thick book, great for bedtime reading. It’s very interesting to learn of her life’s beginnings, struggles and how she came about to be such a successful and fascinating woman and paved the way for women’s fashion for years to come. Very inspiring.

  • Title speaks for itself.

    This book chronicles the life of Coco Chanel, and shows the world in which she lived. Early pictures of her and her friends paint a picture of a creative, intelligent woman who went against the grain, and changed the way women dress forever. Showed her climb from peasant to world famous designer in pictures that were informal, and yet informative. Would have liked more information about her later years, and business circumstances... however, it will remain in my collection.

  • Ooh la la

    Beautiful book; great condition. Happy to add this to my library!
