Reviews"Sucked me in by the pearls and never let go. Gortner's imagining of the ultimate fashion icon is equal parts grit and glamour, painting a portrait of a woman who was hugely inspiring but by no means perfect. Oh, and if you can't afford to visit Paris in peak springtime season, reading this book with a glass of wine is a decent substitute." -- Glamour on Mademoiselle Chanel "Absorbing, heartbreaking and salacious--like Chanel's life story . . . a vivid, heartbreaking portrait of Coco Chanel's meteoric rise to fame and her complicated personal life." -- Shelf Awareness on Mademoiselle Chanel "In this deliciously satisfying novel, C.W. Gortner tells the epic, rags-to-riches story of how this brilliant, mercurial, self-created woman became a legend." -- Christina Baker Kline, New York Times bestselling author of Orphan Train, on Mademoiselle Chanel "Enticing . . . a well-researched and well-crafted historical novel that leaves the reader satisfied on many levels." -- New York Journal of Books on Mademoiselle Chanel "In a novel as brilliant and complicated as Coco Chanel herself, C. W. Gortner's prose is so electric and luminous it could be a film, and not just any film, but one of the grandest biopics of our time. Divine!" -- Erika Robuck, bestselling author of Hemingway's Girl, on Mademoiselle Chanel

Synopsis"Between the decadence and the dazzling details, I love historical fiction books centered around fashion. And C. W. Gortner's latest enthralled me. This story transported me to Paris. It was a perfect blend of fiction and fact." - First for Women The Paris runways of the 70s come to wild and splashy life in this novel of fashion's "It Girl" Loulou de la Falaise and her life partying and designing with Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld, and Halston. Nightlife! Gowns! Cocaine! Glamour! It's the 1970s, and from hippie London to Warhol's Factory in New York, reluctant aristocrat Loulou de la Falaise is desperately seeking adventure. Having escaped an early, unhappy marriage, she arrives on a whim in Paris--the champagne-soaked heart of the fashion world, where the rigid old world of haute couture and the ffast-paced new world of ready-to-wear are vying for supremacy. Glamour, sex, and cocaine nights fuel the Paris fashion scene. Its crown prince is the soulful and intensely gifted Yves Saint Laurent, whose sexy tuxedos for women and chic Rive Gauche boutiques reflect women's desire for seductive independence, a desire Loulou knows all too well. Loulou's bohemian flair immediately captures Saint Laurent's attention, and they embark on a glorious intimate friendship as artist and muse. Together they revel in the excesses of high society, decadent parties, and the hedonistic underworld of gay nightclubs, where the young and beautiful become prey, and dangerous rivalries start to emerge. Their course collides with eccentric designer Karl Lagerfeld, intent on his own conquest. Lagerfeld's bitter professional rivalry with Yves divides Paris even in an era when anything goes. As Yves plunges into a dangerous, secret affair with Karl's enigmatic young companion, and Loulou finds herself falling in love with a colleague's handsome boyfriend, evanescent illusion and savage deception will bring them to the brink of ruin. Intoxicating and unforgettable, The Saint Laurent Muse is the dramatic imagining of a lifelong friendship between two kindred spirits, and of a tumultuous time and place in fashion history that will never be seen again., The Paris runways of the 70s come to wild and splashy life in this novel of fashion's "It Girl" Loulou de la Falaise and her life partying and designing with Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld, and Halston.
