The Little Guide to Coco Chanel: Style to Live By

by Oh

A collection of over 170 quotes and fascinating facts about the creative genius who gave us the Little Black Dress and Chanel No. 5
Almost 50 years after her death, Coco Chanel remains one of the world's most influential fashion designers. Her story is one of creative brilliance and innovation – she was a driving force in freeing women from the restrictive clothing they had been obliged to wear for generations. 'In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different,' Chanel would say, and throughout her life she demonstrated extraordinary passion and determination to change the world around her. 
This little book is packed with memorable facts about Coco Chanel’s life and influence, and full of quotes from the icon herself and some of the many people inspired by her. There is much wisdom to glean from Chanel's self-reflections, while her sharp wit and joie de vivre will amuse, surprise and inspire in equal measure.

"I dont know why women want any of the things men have when one of the things women have is men" I just want equal rights...

I understand that with time period and stuff it wouldn't have been sexist, but "inspirational". but there was some sexist stuff in here :/

„I don’t like when people talk about Chanel as a fashion. Chanel is a style, first and foremost. Fashion goes out of fashion. Style never.”
