Learning the life of Coco Chanel

Learned a lot about Coco.

Susan Goldman Rubin’s book, Coco Chanel, is a biography of a young girl from a poor background who rises to fame and becomes a fashion icon. Her rise to fame started because she wanted to make an outfit for herself. Chanel was a fashion prodigy that became one of the best of all time.Everyone wants to be first at some point in their life. Coco always wants to be first, and she would do whatever it takes, even if it meant pushing other people down just to get up. Her greatest competitor was Elsa Schiaparelli, but Chanel persevered through the competition. She had ingenuity that helped her succeed in her career.Susan Goldman Rubin gave details of Coco Chanel’s life that were interesting and compelled me to read more. She emphasized quotes from Chanel’s life and mentioned dialogue between Chanel’s colleagues and friends. Rubin wrote about Coco’s childhood of poverty and how she changed her life by starting her own business. Rubin did a good job of writing about Chanel’s life in a personal way that really got me hooked.I recommend this book if you enjoy biographies, and you like to learn about fashion. I enjoyed reading this book because Chanel inspired so many people, and it started with one simple idea. She is a fashion icon that is still remembered and praised today for her work. The story of Coco Chanel will inspire you just as it did me.Zelie M, 13, Central Pennsylvania Mensa

Purchased used brand new book. Gorgeous

Great book and amazing story

This book only skims the surface of Chanel's life, success, anti-Semitism, and possible Nazi sympathies. There was so much more to know and a definite dearth of photos of the clothing itself.

Very refreshing inside to how ones first indroduction of life can mold a future. Coco Chanel never stopped fighting. Bravo!

Achei ok

My friend thought it was a wonderful gift. She is all about the perfume so the book was a surprise.

The book was fascinating and the photos gave it an extra dimension. A short butvery informative read. I loved it.

All edges are damaged and bent, cover slightly torn and tampered. Overall horrible condition.

Great book!
