About the book: 2015 / The brilliant founder of new fashion, Coco Chanel, freed women from corsets, long fluffy skirts, bulky hats and intricate jewelry. They were replaced by simple, strict, clear lines, emphasizing the advantages and hiding the flaws of the figure. Women enthusiastically accepted Chanel's fashion concept: you don't have to be young and beautiful to look chic. The great mademoiselle was smart, cynical and sharp-tongued. She left behind a style, a fashion house and many aphorisms.
