Bøger af Isabelle Fiemeyer

An updated authorized edition of Isabelle Fiemeyer¿s literary biography of Coco Chanel, which demystifies the legendary designer¿s life. Coco Chanel was an emancipated fashion revolutionary. Raised by nuns in an orphanage, and starting out as a café and nightclub singer, she rose to become a star of the world of couture and a byword for stylish elegance. Chanel¿s association with senior Nazi officers in Occupied Paris during the Second World War is well known. As a former friend of British wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill, she was recruited unknowingly, it seems, as a German informer. Chanel used her contacts to secure the release of her beloved nephew from a prison camp. Featuring unpublished and exclusive content based on first-hand interviews with Chanel¿s great-niece and confidante, this meticulously researched biography tells the true story of the twentieth century¿s most celebrated yet enigmatic fashion icon.
