Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel revolutionised the look of the 20th century during the height of the Belle Époque. She liberated women from the constraints of corsets and feathers, introduced them to bobbed hair, bathing suits, and the allure of sun-kissed skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChanel was instrumental in crafting the little black dress, popularising trousers for women, and designing costume jewellery. She is renowned for creating her signature exquisitely comfortable suit. In the Roaring Twenties, Chanel launched the first-ever couture perfume, No. 5, showcasing it in a distinctive square-cut flagon. 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. It features specially commissioned photographs by Julien T. Hamon that beautifully capture the clothing. Additionally, essays by fashion historians provide insight into various periods, events, and themes relevant to Chanel's work. The book is further enriched by rare archival documents, including portraits of Gabrielle Chanel herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076908007660,"sku":"9780500025031","price":110.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/71173482366.jpg?v=1765214806","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/gabrielle-chanel-revised-edition-by-miren-arzalluz-9780500025031","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
