It is great to read about a person or place in Chanel's life and then look to the photo above and see what the author is describing. You feel as if you are going back in time. Edmonde Charles-Roux was a friend of Chanel and editor of French VOGUE. This is a sympathetic portrayal.It is as much about the people and places which surrounded Chanel as Chanel herself. There isn't much coverage of Chanel's activities during WWII or directly afterward. The emphasis is more on the positive and creative parts of Chanel's life. I found the years when Chanel first set up business through the 1930's the most fascinating. It is a fairly quick read. Loved the abundant images on every page. You visually immerse yourself in her world. There are wonderful quotes of Chanel's sprinkled throughout.
