but between the lines is a great deal of wisdom and self-acknowledgement of both her own Fascinating look at Chanel's spin on her own life. While she is brutally candid about some aspects, others are completely fabricated to throw a more positive and morally acceptable light on them. You won't get the whole truth, but between the lines is a great deal of wisdom and self-acknowledgement of both her own talent and shortcomings. A must for any die-hard Chanel fan who has read other notable biographies on this endless intriguing fashion icon.. A Private Conversation with Coco Chanel When I received the original book I was surprised by two things. First the size - it is a small book that would fit in the palm of your hand. Second, the ONLY photo is that of the author. (No pictures of Coco Chanel, her fashion, perfume, jewelry, watches, etc.) Having said that, I found myself cocooned in a faraway time and place listening to Madame recall her life to a man who was smart enough to capture every word and save them for us to savor.A new edition of the book, illustrated by Karl Lagerfeld (longtime head of the House of Chanel) will be released on April 10, 2010..

It's based upon conversations Morand had with his friend Chanel in Switzerland in 1946, when neither of the two would have been welcome in France. Though Allure is apparently narrated by Chanel, and though her own words no doubt lie behind it, Morand's fashioning of those words is the reason for much if not most of its appeal.Chanel speaks about her life, but this isn't a biography; she talks about fashion generally and her work specifically, but this isn't a book about fas. 6, when neither of the two would have been welcome in France.

"It's an interesting memoir because it's all about what she thinks not what she did." - David Patrick Columbia, The New York Social Diary"Morand was a citizen of the world, with a sharp eye and a neat turn of phrase." - The Tablet"This enchanting, tiny book is the closest anyone can get to a face-to-face with Coco. It's written in her voice ('that voice that gushed forth from her mouth like lava') and in her words ('those words that crackled like dried vines'), and though it's full of lies, omissions and contradictions, there's enough raw truth in it to reflect the extraordinary woman who was Chanel, even though g
