Synopsis:

Distinguishes between the actual and projected lives and personalities of the world-famous, revolutionary couturiere, chronicling her illegitimate birth, her love affairs, her rise in the world of fashion, and her remarkable comeback at age seventy-one

Review: 'Chanel's life was extraordinary, varied, full, perverse and like all good stories, full of dramatic reversals and successes' Margaret Drabble. (Margaret Drabble)

'A fascinating, intimate, merciless, but ultimately sympathetic portrait... Even for those with only the slightest interest in fashion this is a beautifully written, highly entertaining biography' Guardian. (Guardian)

'This biography delves far into the past, unraveling the mysteries that Chanel herself worked to create...it's a beautifully honest yet surprisingly unforgiving portrait of a woman often outshone by her own legend' Observer. (Observer)
