About this product

Product Information

Gabrielle Coco Chanel (18831971) is a fashion icon unlike any other. She invented modern clothing for women: at the height of the Belle Ipoque, 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 slacks, costume jewelry, and the exquisitely comfortable suit. She made the first couture perfume, No. 5, which remains the most popular scent ever created. In this beautiful volume, the glorious life of the incomparable Coco Chanel shines again through hundreds of illustrations and the lively prose of Edmonde Charles-Roux, her official biographer and close friend. Chanel knew and collaborated with the likes of Picasso, Diaghilev, Stravinsky, Cocteau, Jean Renoir, and Visconti, even as she matched their modernist innovations by liberating women from the prison of 19th-century fashion and introducing a whole new concept of elegance. The staggering collection of photographs amassed by the author over decades of friendship with Chanel sheds new light on one of the great stories of the modern age.

  • An older large format book - earlier rendition on life of Chanel

    This was one of the comprehensive books on Chanel but some of the information is outdated/incomplete on her life. All of the book is in black and white photos and line drawings - it's mostly boring in illustration except for a few compelling photographs reproduced from Horst and some fashion photos. Being a coffee table size format, one would expect color throughout but the earlier large format books from before 1985 did not do very much. Since this book much more research and information has come about in the history of Chanel, her personal life and fashion endeavors.
