Description

"In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different" - Coco Chanel Fashion is ever-changing, influenced by the key designers that capture a moment in history; and Coco Chanel is arguably the most significant influence on women's fashion in the twentieth century. Coco Chanel: The Illustrated World of a Fashion Icon is a compilation of Megan Hess' stunning illustrations of the 100 most quintessential moments through Chanel's history, from Coco's incredible life, to the impact of Karl Lagerfeld and the incredible items that have become fashion icons - the little black dress, the luxurious bags and accessories, glamorous jewellery and of course the renowned Chanel No 5 perfume. Interspersed with historical anecdotes and famous quotes from Coco herself, Karl Lagerfeld and other key fashion icons of the era, this book is an elegant and immersive introduction to the moments that shaped Coco and the iconic Chanel brand - and how fashion, in turn, shaped their lives.

  • Amazing view of the Chanel world
Love the illustrations, writing and respect for the brand I originally read this in a Nordstrom and regret not buying it then because when I returned they were out of stock. Glad to have it now!

  • Beautiful if using as a decorative item, poor quality if you intend to read it.
The book arrived in typical Amazon packaging and was in good condition. My complaint is that this is clearly intended to be a decorative piece rather than to be read. The pages, while beautiful from the outside, tear away from the spine if you fully open the book. The binding is terrible. It feels as if it is bound like post-it notes rather than a quality glue. The content was disappointing as well. I understand that this is I intended to display the illustrator’s work but I expected more facts and information about Coco Chanel than it contains. Aside from looking pretty on a shelf or table, it is closer to a poorly made children’s picture book. Most pages just have a small paragraph of vague facts. Some only a single sentence. If you are only interested in using it to display, it has beautiful silver edged pages with a thin, attractive red strip behind the binding and a very attractive cover. ... show more

This is a cute book for decorating, some light reading on the history of Chanel. Would be a great book for gift for a young girl who is into fashion.

  • Captivating Storytelling Through Design
This is an AMAZING little book. It not only provides a short background of the making of the Chanel empire, it captures the style of the designer herself. I thoroughly enjoyed it and all of the illustrations. Captivating! If you love fashion design, you’ll love this book.

  • Absolutely love this book
I received my Coco Chanel book today and I absolutely love the book! I’m a big fan of Coco Chanel’s sense of style and already read several books about her life and influence on fashion. This book is a quick read but offered additional facts about her life that I didn’t know! After reading the book, you can display it as a piece of art! I have it sitting on my end table on a tabletop frame holder! ... show more
