Following the death of her mother, Coco Chanel spent her early life in an orphanage, where she was taught how to use a needle and thread. From there, she became a cabaret singer, seamstress, hat maker, and, eventually, the world's most famous fashion designer. She changed women's clothing forever by liberating them from corsetry and pioneering a sporty, casual chic — a style that many still emulate today.
This moving book from the Little People, BIG DREAMS series features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the designer's life.
