CHANEL : HER INTIMATE WORLD

Chanel expert Isabelle Fiemeyer offers a rare, deeply
personal look into the life of the iconic designer
Coco Chanel. This biography draws from exclusive
interviews with Chanel’s closest family members and
extensive archival research to reveal the designer’s
most private world-her love for symbolism and
poetry, her romantic relationships, and her enduring
bond with her nephew, André Palasse, who she raised
as her own son. His daughter, Gabrielle PalasseLabrunie-Chanel’s goddaughter and only direct
descendant-shares intimate memories and access
to her great-aunt’s cherished collection of fashion,
jewelry, and art. Divided into five chronological
sections, the book immerses readers in Chanel’s life,
unveiling rarely seen personal artifacts: gifts from
her great love, Boy Capel, as well as her furniture,
favorite jewelry, talismans, garments, family photos,
and correspondence.
