THE LITTLE GUIDE TO COCO CHANEL

The creative genius who gave us the Little Black Dress and Chanel No. 5. Almost 50 years after her death Coco Chanel remains one of the world's most influential fashion designers. Her story is one of creative brilliance and innovation - she was a driving force in freeing women from the restrictive clothing they had been obliged to wear for generations. 'In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different' Chanel would say and throughout her life she demonstrated extraordinary passion and determination to change the world around her. There is much wisdom to glean from Chanel's self-reflections while her sharp wit and joie de vivre will amuse surprise and inspire in equal measure. 'Fashion changes but style endures.'
