fresh and penetrating look at how Coco Chanel made herself into her own most powerful creation. An authoritative

eighty-seven, but her legacy lives on. Drawing on unprecedented research, Justine Picardie brings her fascinating,
enigmatic subject out of hiding and uncovers the consequences of what Chanel covered up, unpicking the seams
between truth and myth in a story that reveals the true heart of fashion.
