TT505.C63.D4 1996Description
Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel's innovative fashion ideas -- jersey knit fabrics, easy-to-wear garments based on men's sportswear, showy costume jewelry, and the little black dress -- challenged the world of fashion head on. This lavishly illustrated book focuses on Chanel the couturière and her immense influence on the way women choose to look in the modern world. Using previously unpublished material, the fashion icon is examined in depth -- her career, her style, her workroom, her customers, and her rivals.Acquisition
