Paul Morand : The Allure of Chanel (Illustrated) before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Allure of Chanel (Illustrated):

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. but between the lines is a great deal of wisdom and self- acknowledgement of both her own ...By BelleriveFascinating look at Chanel's spin on her own life. 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- 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 , 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 , 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.
