Delving into the long, extraordinary life of renowned French fashion designer Coco Chanel, Karen Karbohas written a new kind of life guide, exploring Chanel\'s philosophy on a range of universal themes-from style, passion, money and success to femininity and living life on your own terms. Born in 1883 in a poorhouse in southern France, Chanel grew up to be the woman who not only gave us the little black dress and boxy jackets, but also bequeathed women with a freedom that helped usher them into easy, practical yet chic clothes. In her strong-headed, elegant, opinionated, passionate, and entirely French way, Coco Chanel helped bring women into the modern era. Her unprecedented success was recognised when she became the only fashion icon among TIME magazine\'s 100 Most Influential People of the both Century. The Gospel According to Coco Chanel is a captivating, offbeat look at style, celebrity, and self-invention-all held together with Karbo\'s droll Chanel-style commentary and culled from an examination of Chanel\'s difficult childhood and triumphant adulthood, career choices, love affairs and eccentricities.
