In 1913, Coco―then still Gabrielle―Chanel opened her first boutique in Deauville, an upscale seaside resort just a few hours west of Paris. Soon after, she opened shops in Biarritz, Monte Carlo and Cannes. It was in these ritzy beach destinations that her simple, sporty designs first flourished. Here they were met with a cosmopolitan clientele who carried her fashion back to the capital city of Paris. In the 1920s, the Chanel brand thus experienced its first heyday, driven by the artistic and social upheaval of those years, now known as the Roaring Twenties.\u003cbr\u003eThis lavishly illustrated catalog chronicles this early era of the iconic French fashion house, documenting in drawings and photographs the extraordinary productivity of the designer herself, who maintained friendships with artists such as Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso and others. It also traces Chanel’s early influences such as Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, who were performing on the Riviera in the 1920s just as Chanel began to gain a foothold in the region. The book reveals the Slavic influence on Chanel's creations, highlighting a network of correspondences with female artists close to Diaghilev's. Finally, it also features images of La Pausa, Gabrielle Chanel's dream villa built near Monaco in 1929.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthored \u003cspan class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\"\u003eby Eleanor Aldridge\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003ePaperback \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e312 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eMeasurements: 5.6 x 8.3 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003ePublished by Countryman Press (October 8, 2019)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Distributed Art Publisher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44209120411843,"sku":"20104","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/7881\/8243\/files\/61axUSCIXBL._SL1080.jpg?v=1756926845"},{"product_id":"when-women-ran-fifth-avenue-glamour-and-power-at-the-dawn-of-american-fashion","title":"When Women Ran Fifth Avenue: Glamour and Power at the Dawn of American Fashion","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThis bestselling book has been named a Best Book of the Year by Amazon, Smithsonian, and Financial Times.
