Gospel According to Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel gave us more than the little black dress and boxy jackets. She popularized easy, practical clothes for women that allowed them a chic freedom theyd never known. In her opinionated, elegant, passionate, entirely French way, Chanel helped bring women into the modern era. Because of this she was the only person in fashion to be named one of Time magazines 100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century. Karen Karbo weaves Chanels story into themes that subtly convey life lessons and leave us entranced with Chanels amazing individuality, confidence, and determination. The story of her extraordinary life and rise to unprecedented success is both compelling and admirable. And while the great Coco may have launched her singular empire a hundred years ago, her methods, attitude, and lan are as relevant and modern as ever.
