Notes From Your Bookseller

The story of Coco Chanel, told in the only way it could be told—with gorgeous illustrations and fashion photos. It’s a beautiful book, one of a series, and great for anyone interested in the fashion icon, or the fashion industry in general.

Elegant and stunningly illustrated, this monograph chronicles the life of one of history's most influential couturiers; Coco Chanel.

She started a fashion revolution with her liberating inventions in sportswear and jersey, iconic suit, and little black dress.
