Description

The story of the legendary woman behind the famous couture brand – the groundbreaking fashion, perfumes, handbags, perfumes – is unveiled through a contemporary retelling in graphic novel form.

From abandonment and poverty to influential friends and wealth, this independent, driven and fiercely determined woman created a whole new style and way of dressing - and changed fashion forever.

The book tracks her early career as she advanced from a seamstress to an entrepreneur, borrowing from male fashions to combine comfort and elegance in clothing for women, with such groundbreaking innovations as the ‘little black dress’ and Chanel No.5 perfume.

The IconGraphic series

Depicting the stories of cultural legends, told in the bold, contemporary and captivating format of the graphic novel, the series includes the lives of Alexander McQueen, Taylor Swift and David Bowie.
