Justine Picardie - Coco Chanel: The Legend and the Life

  • The Yard Hampshire Alresford, England, SO24 9TX United Kingdom (map)

Justine Picardie has spent over twenty years exploring the truth about the mystery that was Coco Chanel.  Join Justine and The Yard's host Rebecca Fletcher as they discuss the world of Coco Chanel and her profound influence as an extraordinary creative, to mark the stunning new edition of Justine's international bestseller, Coco Chanel: The Legend and the Life which includes major new research and recently discovered portraits.  From the inventor of the Little Black Dress (LBD), the bob haircut, trousers for women, contemporary chic, a globally bestselling perfume and founder of the most successful fashion brand of all time, Coco was also an enigma, fashioning the myth of her own life with the same attention to detail as her couture. Chanel is synonymous with elegance and beauty – yet what lay beneath the surface is far darker.
