Coco Chanel; The Legend and the Life by Justine Picardie (Book Review)
About the book
In Coco Chanel The Legend and the Life, Justine Picardie attempts to unravel the true history of one of fashions most intriguing icons.
The book chronicles Chanels eventful life, beginning with a childhood of poverty and abandonment in rural France.
The tale weaves through Chanels various metamorphoses; seamstress, singer, rich mans plaything, to her burgeoning career making hats, and later clothes, for the darlings of French high society.
As well as documenting the birth and rise of the House of Chanel, Picardie also explores the stories behind the infamous perfume, diamonds, handbags and, of course, trademark jersey suits, with insights into how these designs were born and the influences that lead to Chanels inspired vision for womens clothing.
