The beginnings of Chanel's fashion brand lie in the French seaside resorts. In 1912 Coco-then still Gabrielle-Chanel opened her first boutique in Deauville shops in Biarritz Monte Carlo and Cannes soon followed. There her simple sporty designs met with a cosmopolitan clientele who carried her fashion back to the capital Paris. In the 1920s the Chanel brand thus experienced its first heyday driven by the artistic and social upheaval of those years the Roaring Twenties. This lavishly illustrated catalogue documents in drawings and photographs the extraordinary productivity of the designer who maintained friendships with artists such as Jean Cocteau Pablo Picasso and others. In the 1920s Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes were performing on the Riviera. The book reveals the Slavic influence in Chanel's creations highlighting a network of correspondences with female artists close to Diaghilev's circle such as Natalia Goncharova and Sonia Delaunay. The book also features La Pausa Gabrielle Chanel's dream villa built in 1929 near Monaco. GABRIELLE CHANEL erased all traces of her childhood. The only known fact is that she was born in Saumur (France) on August 19 1883. In 1910 she opened a hat store in Paris which was followed by boutiques in Deauville Biarritz Cannes and Monte-Carlo. Her line of jersey sportswear for women revolutionized fashion and liberated the female body.
