While she is brutally candid about some aspects, others are completely fabricated to throw a more positive and morally acceptable light on them. You won't get the whole truth, but between the lines is a great deal of wisdom and self- acknowledgement of both her own talent and shortcomings. A must for any die-hard Chanel fan who has read other notable biographies on this endless intriguing fashion icon.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. like hisBy Costomerwell written,i started collect his works,like his style1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Always Fascinating- Coco ChanelBy MicheleAn almost stream of consciousness from the iconic designer about who she was, who she saw, what she did and why. How much is truth, fiction or design in this reconstructed narrative? Fascinating. Paul Morand's last book, one of the most appealing of his oeuvre, brings together around the figure of Chanel, portraits of Misia Sert, Erik Satie, Serge Lifar, Georges Auric, Raymond Radiguet, Jean Cocteau, Picasso and Churchill, among others. Based on a series of intimate conversations between Morand and Coco Chanel, written in the great storyteller's marvellous prose, this book artfully sketches the character of the elusive, mysterious and charming creature who inspired Malraux to say: "Chanel, De Gaulle and Picasso are the greatest figures of our times." Hailed on its publication in 1976 as "a great celebration of a book, a finely cut, sparkling gem," The Allure of Chanel attracted the attention of Karl Lagerfeld, who embellished it with seventy-three drawings, sketched for this special illustrated edition.** Deluxe flapped paperback edition ** "It's an interesting memoir because it's all about what she thinks not what she did." - David Patrick Columbia, The New York Social Diary"Morand was a citizen of the world, with a sharp eye and a neat turn of phrase." - The Tablet"This enchanting, tiny book is the closest anyone can get to a face-to-face with Coco. It's written in her voice ('that voice that gushed forth from her mouth like lava') and in her words ('those words that crackled like dried vines'), and though it's full of lies, omissions and contradictions, there's enough raw truth in it to reflect the extraordinary woman who was Chanel, even though glimpsed shard by shard in a broken mirror." - The Spectator"Paul Morand recaptures a WWII-era conversation between the author and the fashion icon." -Publisher's Weekly"Reads beautifully ... this enchanting book is the closest anyone can get to a face-to-face with Coco... written in her voice and in her words." - The Spectator"Morand was the all-round aesthete." - Nicholas Lezard, GuardianAbout the AuthorPaul Morand was born in Paris in 1888 and after studying at the Ecole des Science Politiques he joined the diplomatic corps, serving in London, Rome, Berne and Bucharest. His first collection of stories,Tender Shoots (1921), was introduced by his friend Marcel Proust. In a long and busy life, he found time to write poetry, novels, short stories and travel books. Morand was made a member of the Academie Francaise in 1963. He was married to the Romanian princess Hélène Soutzo, and he died in 1976, the year the first edition of The Allure of Chanel was published in Paris.

  • 28Th August 2014
    th 1 Published: 28 August 2014 The image that Gabrielle Chanel created has been carried out through her designs for the past 100 years. She has created a timeless brand that is the epitome of good taste, class, quality and luxury. Her image consistently refers to her traditions while still placing the Chanel brand at the peak of contemporary fashion. In June 1998 Gabrielle Chanel was the only fashion designer to be named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century. “The clothes she created changed the way women looked and how they looked at themselves. She mixed up the vocabulary of male and female clothes.” Coco Chanel” allowed women to be both feminine and feminist.” (Sischy, 1998) “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion IMAGE 1: VOGUE PARIS MARCH 1984: INES DE LA FRESSANGE has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is 2 happening.”Coco Chanel said. (Wolfendale, 2011) The image created in her designs by the use of simple styling, particular colors and symbols defines Chanel as a brand as does her unique choice of customized font, her interlocking double “C” logo, the ubiquitous white camellia, quilted handbag, chains and pearls. This image illustrates the story of Gabrielle Chanel’s life. According to the Chanel philosophy, simple understated elegance represents self confidence, success and sophistication. The Chanel image portrays a depth of cultural appreciation of contemporary society. By remaining faithful to the origins and traditions created by Gabrielle Chanel’s story the Chanel brand has continued to demonstrate the timelessness of her values in its contemporary designs.

  • Different Types of Denim Fabric
    Different Types of Denim Fabric Contributor By Shelley Moore, eHow Contributing Writer Article Rating: (3 Ratings) • • • • Add to Favorites • • Denim clothing never goes out of style. It's attractive and durable, perfect for most casual occasions. Denim is most common as the fabric in jeans, but is also used for shirts, jackets, skirts, dresses, hats, handbags and more. Several different types of denim fabric are available depending on the function and look people are after. Cotton Serge 1. The traditional denim is 100 percent cotton serge. Additionally, denim is often blended with other fabrics. Raw Denim 2. Raw denim is dark, unwashed fabric that is stiff and very durable. It fades with wear in certain areas, creating a natural distressed look. It also fades with washing. Selvage Denim 3. The premium type of raw denim fabric is selvage denim, with tight weaving and natural edges that will not unravel. Selvage denim is more expensive than other raw denim. Stretch Denim 4. The blend closest to pure denim is called stretch denim, which usually includes 2 or 3 percent Spandex material for a bit of give in the fabric. Poly-Denim 5. Poly-denim blends look like a dressier denim, and are more lightweight, which makes them more convenient to wash and dry. They also are more resistant to wrinkling. Ramie-Denim 6. Denim is also sometimes blended with the plant fiber ramie, which reduces wrinkling and gives the fabric a softer feel.

  • Coco Chanel Recunoscuta Ca Una Din Cele Mai "Chic" Designere Ale Secolului XX
    Casa de moda Chanel Chanel este poate cea mai celebra casa de moda din Franta, care si-a luat numele de la creatoarea de moda si fondatoarea ei, Coco Chanel recunoscuta ca una din cele mai "chic" designere ale secolului XX. Numele Chanel nu poate fi ignorat de nimeni din lumea modei de azi, care nu ar fi fost la fel fara creatiile acestei artiste vestimentare care si-a creat un imperiu pornind de la pasiunea ei pentru frumos. Coco Chanel a reusit sa realizeze haine practice, mica rochie neagra, jachetele care poarta si astazi amprenta sa sau jerseul din lana, confortabil si usor de purtat, chiar daca era considerat initial prea simplu pentru a se potrivi unei vestimentatii elegante. Dar, sa incepem cu inceputul .... In spatele cunoscutelor genti Chanel se afla o legenda. Numita una dintre cele 100 de persoane care au influentat moda secolului 20, Coco Chanel a fost un pionier al modei. Stilul ei a fost inspirat de piesele vestimentare barbatesti si credeam in outfituri simple dar foarte scumpe. Iata cateva lucruri despre ea: 1. Iubea buzunarele Coco Chanel era asa de incantat de buzunare incat acest lucru a devenit principalul punct in crearea posetelor. Multe si extrem de folositoare ... buzunare. 2. Totul a inceput ca un hobby Chanel si-a inceput cariera realizand palarii care au devenit foarte populare printre aritocratii parizieni. Prin palariile ei fancy si inovatoare a atras atentia asupra ei. Poate e timpul ca tu sa-ti transformi hobby-ul intr-o cariera. 3. De la vanzatoare de lenjerie de dama la o casa mare de moda Stiai ca inainte de a deveni o legenda, Coco Chanel a lucrat ca vanzatoare intr-un magazine de lenjerie de dama? Intr-adevar legendele pornesc de jos.
