Must read for those who need to understand all behind those double C's. Chanel was a force to be reckoned with in her day and in ours. Most know how she made little black dress, jersey knit and suntans part of our modern fashion needs. But few knew just how many times she remade herself into some new fabulous creation. She was the "Madonna" of her day. A glimpse into her life one could only wonder what else she could accomplish as a bastard child, raised by nuns, and thrown into society. She may not be a gentle soul but she certainly is interesting. Enjoy!

*Chanel and Her World* is a great document of a great woman! I've never seen another Chanel book with so many pictures, and that's what it's all about when it comes to one of the century's most important style-makers. It's a CRIME that it's out of print, because I MUST OWN IT.

I,m absolutely delighted to see this book back in print as I ,ve been searching for itf for years. The enlarged photos give an even better view of the detail and workmanship in these tiny garments. IIt,s a lovely symbol of postwar renewal and optimism to be treasured always.
