Living with Coco Chanel : the homes and landscapes that shaped the designer
Young, Caroline (Journalist)2019
Books
Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel was one of the most influential and ground-breaking fashion designers of the 20th century. This illustrated biography tells her remarkable story in a unique and accessible way, examining how the homes and landscapes of her life relate to her work. From her childhood at the convent at Aubazine to her boutique and apartment on Rue Cambon in Paris and her villa, La Pausa, on the French Riveria, Chanel's style was inspired and influenced by her environment. Emerging at a time that allowed women to be more independent, she designed clothes that let them be free. As she found fame, love and success, she used the memories of her past, and the way that she lived, to forge her own independence.
