The much anticipated and beautifully illustrated Sunday Times Bestselling Biography Coco Chanel: The Legend and the Life was first released to great critical acclaim in 2010. Now the paperback edition of Justine Picardie's biography of the French fashion designer Gabrielle Chanel has arrived. The Mail on Sunday calls it 'gripping', the Sunday Times declares it to be 'fascinating', the Telegraph 'elegant' and 'brilliant'; while the Daily Mail hails it as a 'vividly told account, in the style of Chanel herself'. This is the definitive biography of a heroine who founded the most successful fashion label in history; a woman that transformed her life into a myth veiled in enigma and scandal; whose talent and innovation endures beyond her own pioneering sartorial creations. Coco Chanel: The Legend and the Life was written by Justine Picardie as a celebration and investigation of Chanel's phenomenal achievements. Shortlisted for the Galaxy National Book Awards, selling over 50,000 copies thus far, and now translated into 15 languages worldwide, this eloquent biography has revealed the hidden secrets of the legendary Chanel. After a decade on the trail of previously unseen evidence left by Chanel, the author's exploration of Chanel's extraordinary life traces the emergence of an inventor and storyteller who rose above the poverty into which she was born. Following clues to Coco's early years in a convent and passionate love affairs with playboys, artists and aristocrats, Justine Picardie deftly weaves together the lost threads of Chanel's life. In doing so, she uncovers how an abandoned child came to conjure up the iconic creations that were proudly worn by legends in their own right, from Jackie Kennedy to Marilyn Monroe, who famously declared that she went to bed in nothing but Chanel No.5. The pioneer of the little black dress, bobbed hair and trousers for women, Chanel was so much more than a couture aficionado; for in reinventing herself, she was also to become one of the most influential women in history.

因為寫瞭《香奈兒的態度》的書評,我覺得有責任再寫一篇關於這本書的書評,不為介紹,無關評論,隻因這兩本書各有韆鞦,我都十分喜歡,難分軒輊。 保羅·莫朗(本書中稱為莫杭)寫的是一本香奈兒對話錄,而賈斯迪妮·皮卡蒂寫的是香奈兒的傳記。 寫香奈兒傳記非常具有挑戰性...
評分嘉柏麗爾迴憶有時她的姨媽(可可 香奈兒)會告訴她說:“過簡單的生活,有丈夫和孩子——和你愛的人在一起,這纔是真正的生活。” 是的,正是這平常人眼中再平凡不過的生活,卻成瞭老年香奈兒最遺憾的事。根據香奈兒的傭人迴憶,在她最後的幾年裏,她陷入到瞭絕對的孤獨中,童...
評分 評分應該沒有人不知道可可香奈兒的大名,菱格紋包包、5號香水、小黑裙,都在時尚界中都鼎鼎大名,更是女人心中的夢想。香奈兒說過,“我的生活不曾取悅於我,所以我創造瞭自己的生活。” 大概沒人會想到,多年以前她還不叫可可香奈兒的時候,母親跟父親沒有正式婚姻,她隻是父親的...
