This exquisite deluxe edition is not just a biography of Gabrielle Chanel, although the story of a peasant girl who was raised in an orphanage and became the queen of world fashion is unique in itself. A brilliant creative person, obsessed with the idea of her own independence and the freedom of a woman in general, Chanel effortlessly broke the canons and stereotypes of her time. The best artists, musicians, writers and the most distinguished persons of the XNUMXth century were involved in the orbit of her life. Nevertheless, the French historian Edmond Charles-Roux wrote a book not about her, but about a whole era, about the whirlpool of time, which this talented woman so subtly felt and which, in the end, was partly controlled by this talented woman. Exclusive photographs provided by the house of Chanel cover the events of world history and the details of the life of the last century from an unknown side for the Russian reader.
