Description
Summary:"This catalogue captures how Gabrielle Chanel--known to the world as Coco--shaped modern fashion amid a backdrop of cultural upheaval, seaside glamour, and groundbreaking artistic exchange. In Deauville, Biarritz, Monte Carlo, and Cannes, Chanel introduced a radically new, elegant yet casual style for modern women. This illustrated volume explores her early boutiques, her revolutionary jersey designs, and her friendships with artists like Jean Cocteau and Pablo Picasso. Special attention is paid to the influence of the Ballets Russes and the Slavic avant-garde, as well as Chanel's architectural retreat, Villa La Pausa, near Monaco."--
