This monograph on Coco Chanel chronicles the life and legacy of one of history's most influential couturiers. From her early forays into millinery, through her revolutionary inventions in sportswear and jersey fashions for women, through the classics that have made her name, such as the Chanel cardigan jacket and the little black dress, to the global empire the brand is today under the helm of Karl Lagerfeld, this beautifully illustrated monograph offers a fascinating account of Chanel's evolution and innovation.



Detailed photographs and sketches of her designs, along with fashion photography and catwalk shots, pay tribute to one of the world's most highly regarded fashion houses and the woman behind it.

Daniel ★★★★★

The photos inside are gorgeous, and the sections on her early millinery days and the sportswear inventions actually taught me things I didn't know. It's a compact little hardback, so it fits nicely on the nightstand without taking over.

Michael A. ★★★★★

I picked this up knowing almost nothing about her early millinery days and ended up reading the whole thing in two sittings. The way it traces her sportswear inventions into the wider legacy is genuinely well done for such a compact book.

Emily S. ★★★★★

The photography alone makes this worth it — full-page shots of the early millinery work and the sportswear pieces I'd only read about. It's a compact little hardcover too, so it actually fits in my bag for the commute.
