amdame1's review against another edition
3.0
The biography of Coco Chanel, designer of haute couture. She began life quite inauspiciously, was illegitimate, lived in an orphanage and then was raised by nuns. Always had a history of taking men's clothing and redesigning it for women. Anti-Semitic, but otherwise forward thinking. I definitely learned a lot. It was not biased, covered strengths and weaknesses. Very glossy pages. Lots of pictures. Easy to read and understand. Brief yet comprehensive at the same time. Lots of primary source photographs.
