New, unique fashion book and directory of designer handbags

Coco Chanel: More than any other designer of her time, Gabrielle Chanel had a genius for perceiving not only what would work in contemporary fashion but also what would last.

And Chanel was a true adventuress, always on the cutting edge and sure of her likes and dislikes, which combined to make the 20th century look the way it did. Thus, the House of Chanel thrives today, in no small measure thanks to the creative talents of the chief designer - Karl Lagerfeld.

One of the most visible personalities of her era, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel invented a style synonymous with modernity and chic. What is perhaps less well known is that the grande dame of 20th-century fashion also had a philosophy of life that made her unique.

Her daring opinions were a source of fascination for Chanel’s lovers, women of her era, fashion lovers and journalists for years. This chic volume is devoted to the thought process of one of the brightest, most successful and imitated international designers.

The adventure of Coco Chanel’s life is captured in these quotations set with inspirational fashion graphics that are both classic and contemporary, in keeping with Coco’s great style.

For example about perfume: “A woman who doesn’t use perfume doesn’t have a future.” Pithy like a magic formula.

A woman who doesn’t wear perfume,has no future.

When she needed a counterpoint to the little black dresses and cascades of pearls, she created a new perfume - Chanel. No 5 – that was the first perfume to mix animal and plant extracts used in traditional perfume with synthetic products. Its birth truly led to a “before” and “after” in the world of perfume, which was no longer an inspired alchemy, romantic and volatile, but pure research. In this way, No 5 perpetuates the charm and influence of her personality.

With an ability to blend the outrageous and the elegant, the Coco Chanel expressed all the magic of fashion. She married the modern and the miraculous by transforming the role of haute couture at a time when it was confined to a privileged minority. A businesswoman as well as a designer, she made fashion responsible for expressing society s desires and fulfilling the dreams of millions of women. One could say she established the democratic course of fashion. Since that time, the name Chanel has been synonymous with luxury and taste.

This ebook offers capsule introduction to the achievements of Coco Chanel in her thoughts on how to live and love. Carefully selected illustrations highlight and make more immediate these quotations and enhance the beautiful experience.

Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.

In her career, Chanel soared from an unknown girl from the province to one of the brightest, most successful, and most imitated international designers of our time. Hers is a story of passion, dogged determination, countless obstacles, and a firm belief in style as a major cultural barometer. But most of all, hers is a story of fashion’s limitless potential to delight. The ultimate designer, Chanel achieved that status not via expressions of fear or outrage but by celebrating fashion as a mirror on life’s gleeful ironies. She found charm in awkwardness as well as glamour an inspiration. This book is a wonderful soiree to which everyone is invited.

The most courageous act is still to think for yourself.

Aloud.

The Woman behind the Designs

Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel (1883-1971) may have very well been the most influential and innovative fashion designer ever.

I just saw the movie together with my daughter and I loved it. I particularly liked that the director did not try to make the scenes like a fashion ad, but rather kept it raw and probably true to those times.

Chanel will launch the newest in its Les Exclusifs de Chanel scent collection next month, a honey floral inspired by one of Coco Chanel’s faithful shades. The twelfth in the series of fragrances originally composed by Coco Chanel’s personal perfumer Ernest Beaux and reinvented for the modern day by Jacques Polge, Beige is a delicate balance of frangipani, lily, heliotrope, ylang-ylang and jasmine flowers mixed with a sweet honey accord. And despite its moniker, it’s far from ordinary - wear through summer for a subtle sensuality.

Karl Lagerfeld is becoming quite the moviemaker — and he needn’t roam far to find subject matter.

When Elena Glurdjidze, a senior principal dancer with the English National Ballet, dropped by a Chanel couture salon earlier this month for a final fitting of a costume Lagerfeld designed for her, she gave him an impromptu dance from “The Dying Swan.” He filmed it and the three-minute video, shot in grainy black and white, went live on chanel.com Wednesday.

Glurdjidze’s custom tutu, made of tulle and overlaid with more than 2,500 feathers, took three seamstresses at Chanel’s Lemarié atelier more than 100 hours to construct. “[Your costume] is 50 percent of how you are going to dance,” said Glurdjidze, who will perform the solo at Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London in June as part of the English National Ballet’s season of Ballet Russes. “It is very important to have a beautiful costume.”

Meanwhile, Lagerfeld is slated to arrive in Moscow today to show Chanel’s Paris-Moscow collection of luxury ready-to-wear at the Maly Theater on Friday evening. The line was already viewed in Paris last December, along with a 10-minute silent movie by Lagerfeld about the young Coco Chanel and a cast of characters, many tied to Russia, including Chanel’s lover, the Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich. As part of its Moscow festivities, Chanel is setting up a temporary store at specialty boutique Podium and screening “Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky,” which premiered last week at the Cannes Film Festival.

For the last few years Karl Lagerfeld’s between-season collections for Chanel have centred around geographical destinations. In the past the German maestro has drawn on New York, Monte Carlo, Miami and Moscow for inspiration. The focus of his fashion radar for the Chanel 2010 cruise collection was Venice.

As dusk fell on Venice’s Lido beach ‘king’ Karl presented a collection which included trouser and top combos incorporating sailor stripes, swimsuits and long black capes.

Models wearing 1920s-inspired wigs with silent movie-style makeup hit the boardwalk runway in classic Chanel designs which wouldn’t have looked out of place in the wardrobe of Coco herself.

Karl threw in the odd whimsical note, too, accessorising black lace dresses with Venetian masks and lashings of bows and ribbons before throwing in a gold lame affair in the grand finale.
