Vogue on: Coco Chanel

A Vogue insiders’ view of the world of Coco Chanel. This essential companion to the world of Coco Chanel traces her iconic designs and glamorous, racy life, from the opening of her Chanel Boutique in Paris – still a destination store today – and the launch of her first perfume, Chanel No. 5, in 1921, to perhaps her most important contribution to the fashion world, the simple, much-imitated ‘little black dress’, which made its debut in 1926. Featuring stunning photography from Vogue’s unique archive, as well as original illustrations, discover the world of Chanel via the most authoritative and prestigious source of reference on fashion. Other titles in the Vogue on series include Vogue on: Cristobal Balenciaga; Vogue on: Christian Dior and Vogue on: Elsa Schiaparelli.
