Opis

By the end of the First World War, Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel had revolutionised women's dress. But dress was the most visible aspect of more profound changes she helped to bring about. Highlighting the designer's connections with modernism, this book explores the creative power and the secret suffering of this exceptional woman.
