Hardcover - Skirt! , an imprint of The Globe Pequot Press, Guilford, Connecticut - 2009 - Condition: New - New - New condition faux black leather boards with red spine lettering contained in a new condition color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Dedication; Acknowledgments and About the Author. Illustrated with black-and-white drawings and a black-and-white photographic portrait frontispiece of Coco Chanel. "Delving into the long, extraordinary life of renowned French fashion designer Coco Chanel, Karen Karbo has written a new kind of book, exploring Chanel's philosophy on a range of universal themes - from style to passion, from money and success to femininity and living life on your own terms. Born in 1883 in a poorhouse in southern France to unmarried parents, Chanel was raised in a convent after her mother died when she was six and her father abandoned her. The nuns taught her to sew, and while working as a cafe singer in the early 1900s she began designing hats for fun. Her lovers included a wealthy English industrialist, who helped her set up her own millinery shop and steered his society friends her way. Chanel grew up to be the woman who not only gave us the little black dress and boxy jackets, but also popularized pants for women and easy, practical clothes that allowed women a chic freedom they'd never known before. In her strong-headed, elegant, opinionated, passionate, entirely French way, Coco Chanel helped bring women into the modern era. She was the only fashion icon to be named one of TIME magazine's 100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century. The Gospel According to Coco Chanel is a captivating, offbeat look at style, celebrity, and self-invention - all held together with Karbo's droll Chanel-style commentary and culled from an examination of Chanel's difficult childhood and triumphant adulthood, passionate love affairs, career choices, habits, eccentricities, and personal philosophies. Weaving Chanel's life story into chapter themes that subtly convey life lessons, and with Chesley McLaren's charming illustrations, it will leave the reader utterly entranced with, and inspired by, Chanel's amazing individuality, confidence, and determination." - from the inner front jacket flap. "A modern look at the life of a legendary fashion icon. With practical life lessons for women of all ages." - from the rear outer jacket. "Anyone with a good sense of humor should hugely enjoy, or should I say enjoie, Karen Carbo's funny and stylish take on Coco Chanel. Like a little black dress, this handy life guide will take you from day into evening. K.K. on C.C." oui, oui!" - Henry Alford, author. "Wise, witty, and refreshingly colloquial, The Gospel According to Coco Chanel is an enchanting tour through the complex, often controversial life of fashion icon Chanel. Filled with relevant life lessons for the modern woman, this book is Karbo at her irrepressible best." - Hilary Black, editor of The Secret Currency of Love: The Unabashed Truth about Women, Money, and Relationships. - The Gospel According to Coco Chanel: Life Lessons From the World's Most Elegant Woman
