The creative genius who gave us the Little Black Dress and Chanel No. 5 Almost 50 years after
her death Coco Chanel remains one of the world's most influential fashion designers. Her story
is one of creative brilliance and innovation - she was a driving force in freeing women from
the restrictive clothing they had been obliged to wear for generations. ?In order to be
irreplaceable one must always be different ? Chanel would say and throughout her life she
demonstrated extraordinary passion and determination to change the world around her. There is
much wisdom to glean from Chanel's self-reflections while her sharp wit and joie de vivre will
amuse surprise and inspire in equal measure.
