Coco Chanel
" Automne 1894. La voilà enfant, grattant à mains nues la terre brune. Le geste lent et grave, elle dépose un à un dans le trou ses trésors les plus chers, accumulés depuis des mois. Il y a là un plumier en os, un mouchoir blanc et une cuillère en bois, tous rapportés par son père. "Tu vois, je n'oublie jamais ma petite Coco", lui dit-il à chaque fois en lui tendant un cadeau, comme pour la consoler de ses longues absences. " Journaliste à Lire, Isabelle Fiemeyer signe, plus qu'une biographie, un portrait intime qui dessine d'une écriture romanesque la vérité fragmentée d'une petite fille abandonnée devenue une figure majeure du siècle. Ce récit s'appuie sur des témoignages et des archives inédites pour saisir, derrière l'image publique, une personnalité secrète et tourmentée.
Intimate Chanel
The most personal account of the life and work of legendary designer Coco Chanel ever told. Coco Chanel’s life and work have been recounted often in print and film-everything except the details of her most private self: her fondness for symbolism and poetry, the men she loved, her family, and in particular her nephew Andre Palasse, whom she raised like a son. His daughter Gabrielle Palasse-Labrunie--goddaughter to both Chanel and the Duke of Westminster and Chanel’s only direct descendant--enjoyed a close-knit relationship with the designer for more than forty years. In this biography, she opens her doors and shares personal memories of her great-aunt. This work--divided into five chrono...
Chanel intime
Chanel intime. Tout a été dit, écrit, filmé ou presque sur la vie et l'oeuvre de Coco Chanel sauf ce qui relève de l'intime, de son attachement au symbolisme, à l'ésotérisme et à la poésie, aux hommes qu'elle a aimés, à sa famille, André Palasse surtout, ce neveu qu'elle a élevé comme son propre fils. Gabrielle Labrunie, fille d'André Palasse et seule descendante directe de Coco Chanel qui lui fut proche pendant plus de quarante ans, a accepté, par amitié, d'ouvrir ses portes et de partager ses souvenirs. En cinq parties chronologiques, Ténèbres, Réalités invisibles, Etats poétiques, Correspondances, Résonances, le présent ouvrage dévoile le monde secret de Coco Chanel, une exploration au plus près du mystère. Les objets et documents montrés ici, le plus souvent inconnus et inédits, sont autant de fragments de cet univers: les cadeaux de son grand amour Boy Capel, ceux du duc de Westminster, ses livres, meubles, accessoires et bijoux préférés, sa garde-robe personnelle, ainsi que le décor de son appartement de la rue Cambon.

Vogue on: Coco Chanel
Hailed as 'the most influential female designer of the twentieth century', Coco Chanel pioneered classic easy-to-wear fashion for the modern woman. She arrived on the fashion scene when feathers, lace and ostentatious beads were favourites, and proceeded to re-invent couture using new materials, like jersey, for outfits that were suitable for everyday wear yet still elegant. With original illustrations and images from celebrated photographers, such as Cecil Beaton, Bronwyn Cosgrave traces the story of Coco Chanel's iconic designs and glamorous, racy life. In 1921 Coco opened her Chanel boutique in Paris - still a destination store today - and launched her first perfume, Chanel No.5. Perhaps ...
Fashion and Its Multi-Cultural Facets
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2014. Fashion is multi-faceted in its inclusion of people, places, and products. How people dress and adorn themselves reflect their space, their time, and their innovators. This collection of essays reflects the changing world of fashion from historic topics of change, to new fashion places, to new media outlets for fashion communication, and to critical issues related to comfort, ethics, and innovation. The authors examine familiar names of fashion like Coco Chanel and Tim Walker and introduce us to new names like Ann Lowe, Tommaso Cecchi De’Rossi, and Warwick Freeman. The contributors to this collection represent a variety of places (Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America) and share their observations, studies, and experiences from the perspective of their cultural backgrounds and disciplines.
