- Synopsis
- A biography of the French fashion icon that unveils the private life behind the public image. Coco Chanel lived her own life as a romantic heroine. Fueled by nineteenth-century literature, she built an image for herself which was partly myth and partly factual. She was the fashion designer everyone admired, the businesswoman whose fortune was impossible to track. She was also a performer, a lover of many high-profile intellectuals, and, as believed by many, a Nazi spy. This biography explores her life from her troubled and poverty-stricken past to the opening of her first hat shop to the creation of her iconic Little Black Dress and Chanel No. 5 perfume. It explores her passions and secrets; the drama behind the scenes of her empire; and the real woman behind the brand name and pop culture image.
