viewsThe Gospel According to Coco Chanel
By Angelia, Thursday, September 10, 2009, 5 comments
Delving into the extraordinary life of renowned French fashion designer Coco Chanel, Karen Karbo has written a new kind of self-help book, exploring Chanel’s philosophy on a range of universal themes—from style to passion, from money and success to femininity and living life on your own terms.
Born in 1883 in a poorhouse in southern France, Chanel grew up to be the woman who not only gave us the little black dress and boxy jackets, but also bestowed upon women a chic freedom that helped usher them into the modern era.
The latest offering from skirt!books, The Gospel According to Coco Chanel is a captivating, offbeat look at style, celebrity and self- invention—all held together with droll Chanel-style commentary and culled from an examination of Chanel’s difficult childhood and triumphant adulthood, passionate love affairs and eccentricities.

I want this book. I saw it at the Dillard's the other day but couldn't bring myself to purchase it for myself. I will after Christmas.
