If Coco Chanel were to give a masterclass on design, creativity and
attitude, what wisdom would she impart? Discover the life, work and
legacy of Chanel in this sharply curated biography focusing on artistic
spirit.
Chanel's ethos captured the imagination of post-war women, releasing
them from the corseted silhouette and changing what we wore forever. But
how did Chanel think? How did her experiences shape her creative career?
And how was her no-holds-barred attitude reflected in her work? What
Coco Chanel Can Teach You About Fashion breaks down Chanel's life and
work into memorable maxims that epitomise her ground-breaking
perspective - including Poverty Can Be Luxury, Rebel Against Your
Rivals, Find Your Spirit Animal and Twist Textile Traditions. This book
uncovers Chanel's creative approach, her inspirations, her business
acumen and the details that make her designs so timeless.
With pithy, illuminating text and inspirational photographs, learn
something from Chanel and apply it to your own life, creativity and
style. These are the things that really define what it means to be
Chanel.
