Summary: A beautiful edition,at last, the pictures and life together!
Review: For the first time we can see the story of Coco Chanel's life and the style it inspired side by side, in an elegantly produced, reasonably priced volume. Chanel called herself the first 20th century woman, and the fact that the way women dress today is due to her understanding of women, her independence and her fascinating life unfolds in Janet Wallach's narrative. Surely this is the least expensive Chanel one can buy and keep forever.

Summary: and then, there was Chanel...
Review: I have always been fascinated by whatever's written about her ever since I received a Chanel purse for an 18th birthday present. There have been a number of books written about Chanel, I'm sure but Janet Wallach's will not disappoint any reader. It is simple and elegantly written with beautiful black and white illustrations. Even if one is not a fan of Chanel's style, you will be intrigued by her notorious life as told here. Either for yourself or a friend, a nice book to keep and look through now and again.

Summary: Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
Review: This book is very good. The text isn't hard to read, and in this book are allot of pictures, only in black and white. There should have been also a few colour pictures. This book is only looking at the period that Coco Chanel designed the collections and not the Karl Lagerfeld era.

Summary: As the NY TIMES said, "fascinating and visually stunning."
Review: This is a spectacularly beautiful and insightful view of a woman who was the major force in 20th century fashion. It is elegantly written and sumptuously illustrated and no doubt will become the definitive book on Coco Chanel. I learned a great deal that I did not know before and I had a long career in fashion. This book will delight men as well as women because it contains many revealing stories about Chanel's sexual escapades. Buy it by all means!

Summary: An eloquent, fascinating portrait of a complex woman
Review: Wallach brings to life the vast complexities of Chanel's life as never before. The author's attentive research into the Chanel archives, her vivid anecdotes and insider's accounts of the rare creature that was Coco Chanel reveal volumes about the making of fashion, culture, and an icon. As does a comprehensive collection of photographs. This is quite simply an irresistable read.
