Coco Chanel. Me and My Men

Coco Chanel is the brightest star on the horizon of High Fashion in the 20th century. Her life was filled with intrigues, romances, envy and gossip, suffering, and of course, love. In her embrace were grand dukes, dukes, counts, and lords, as well as poets, directors, and actors who became famous. This extensive list includes Sergei Diaghilev, Igor Stravinsky, Grand Duke Dmitry Pavlovich, the Duke of Westminster, Count Luchino Visconti, Picasso, Reverdy, Paul Iribe, and even SS Brigadeführer Walter Schellenberg. Some she made, others made her. Chanel is a personality elevated to cult status. Decades after her death, her image still stirs minds, and the Chanel style remains at the pinnacle of High Fashion. How right the couturier was when she responded to yet another suitor's proposal of marriage: There are plenty of duchesses in the world, but only one Coco Chanel! For the first time, all of the great Chanel's love affairs are told so honestly and poignantly.
