Book
Mademoiselle Chanel : a novel / C.W. Gortner.
Born into poverty, Gabrielle Chanel faces hardship in an orphanage until her sewing skills blosson into an exceptional talent. Burning with ambition, the petite brunette transforms herself into Coco, by day a seamstress and by night a singer in a nightclub, where she meets a wealthy gentleman who becomes her benefactor. As greedom sparks her creativity, Coco hones her craft and discovers her destiny in Paris. Coc finds new inspriation in modern styles, rejecting the corseted silhouette to reflect the youthful ease and confidence of the 1920s, and sparks a fashion revolution among Parisian women. As her reputation spreds, her couture business explodes, elevating her in society and bringing her acclaim, devotees, and lovers. But as years pass, fam and fortune cannot save Coco from heartbreak. And when Paris falls to the Nazis, Coco is forced to make choices that will haunt her always.
