Coco Chanel: A Life Told in Her Own Words
29.99 €
This sensational book sheds light on the most secret pages of Coco Chanel's biography. This is not just a memoir, but an extremely frank confession of the greatest woman of the XX century. The story of Chanel, told by herself. "There are many duchesses, and Chanel one," - she replied to the proposal of marriage and heart from the Duke of Westminster, the richest man in Europe. She never went for a word in her pocket, did not obey the rules and lived "against the tide". A true self-made woman, she made not only herself, but reshaped the whole world not just fashion, but lifestyle! Women finally gave up corsets, wearing comfortable jersey suits, thanks to Chanel. Short knee-length skirt - Chanel. Pantsuit for ladies - Chanel. "Little black dress" - Chanel. Small hats instead of huge constructions with wide fields, from under which the woman herself is not visible - Chanel. Costume jewelry - Chanel. Fine fragrance instead of suffocating odor of a whole flower bed - Chanel. It was the Great Mademoiselle who gave a woman the right to be natural, stylish, desirable, feminine - herself ... We know everything about Chanel's work and almost nothing about her personal life: she did not allow anyone to pry into her soul, avoiding to be frank even with friends, not to mention the press, and only once said that she loved many men, but her main passion, the romance of her life - with fashion.
