Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel revolutionised the look of the 20th century during the height of the Belle Époque.

This design, inspired by Picasso and Cubism, became an enduring symbol of the Art Deco era. No. 5 holds the distinction of being the most popular scent ever created.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis revised edition, published to accompany a landmark exhibition in Paris, delves into the origins and evolution of Chanel's everlasting style.
