Description
Coco Chanel's life and work have been extensively documented, but few have delved into her most private self. This biography offers an intimate look at the designer's personal world, revealing a woman who was far removed from her public persona. Through photographs of Chanel's personal effects and correspondence, Gabrielle Palasse-Labrunie shares memories of her great-aunt, Coco Chanel, in five chronological parts that explore both the designer's triumphs and darker periods. A unique glimpse into the life of one of fashion's most iconic figures is revealed here, offering a fresh perspective on a legendary figure. This book provides an unprecedented insight into the private world of Coco Chanel, where symbolism, poetry, and personal relationships played a significant role in shaping her life and work.
