CHANEL. The Woman Who Changed the World

Coco Chanel — an outstanding woman-designer who made a breakthrough in the fashion world. She was called an "icon of style," people looked up to her, admired her, loved her, and hated her. She proved that elegance is impossible without comfort. The little black dress, the chain handbag, the trouser suit, the hats — all these items became an integral part of Coco's signature style.

Chanel's fate is unique. The daughter of a merchant paved her way to the heights of fame by her own efforts. But what is the price of success? The answer is simple — loneliness. Chanel did not start a family; her romances always ended in sad separations. In this book, interesting events from Coco's biography are accompanied by her vivid quotes, which helps to get to know the charming brunette with slightly sad brown eyes better.

This book is more useful than a psychological workshop and a guide to style, more interesting than a history textbook of the 20th century.
