The creative genius who gave us the Little Black Dress and Chanel No. 5. Almost 50 years after her death, Coco Chanel remains one of the world's most influential fashion designers. Her story is one of creative brilliance and innovation - she was a driving force in freeing women from the restrictive clothing they had been obliged to wear for generations. 'In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different,' Chanel would say, and throughout her life she demonstrated extraordinary passion and determination to change the world around her. There is much wisdom to glean from Chanel's self-reflections, while her sharp wit and joie de vivre will amuse, surprise and inspire in equal measure. 'Fashion changes, but style endures.'

"J'ai rendu au corps des femmes sa liberté, dira Gabrielle. Ce corps suait dans des habits de parade, sous les dentelles, les corsets, les dessous, le rembourrage." Ainsi, lorsque Chanel détruit une mode et crée une silhouette toute neuve, on entre dans un autre siècle, celui de la Belle Époque. Il y a une certaine confusion des sexes dans la forme d'élégance qu'elle préconise, mais la coupe à la garçonne, les robes tubulaires, le N°5, c'est son style à elle, inimitable. Une quête incessante de la rigueur, du raffinement et du dépouillement. Janséniste de la couture, elle n'en est pas moins l'égérie des années folles et séduit l'intelligentsia de son temps, de Diaghilev à Cocteau, lequel ne tarit pas d'éloges sur ses lubies, ses colères, ses outrances et sa générosité. "Coco est un personnage unique, attachant, attirant, repoussant, excessif... humain enfin."

In den wilden Zwanzigern geboren, steht die kühne Komposition im schnörkellosen Flakon bis heute für Sinnlichkeit pur. Was ist das Erfolgsgeheimnis? Die selbstbewussten Chanel-Botschafterinnen? Die Liebe von Künstlern und Hollywoodstars? Die Werbekampagnen? Was Coco Chanel als „ein Parfüm für Frauen mit dem Duft einer Frau“ entwickeln ließ, wurde zum berühmtesten Parfum der Welt. Verfolgen Sie jetzt die Wandlung dieses visionären Bouquets aus Blüten und Aldehyden zum ultimativen Accessoire.

Le N° 5 – dont Marilyn Monroe a fait la promotion de manière spectaculaire – continue à fasciner ses millions d'adeptes dans le monde entier. Créé en 1921 par Gabrielle Chanel, il est l'un des premiers parfums élaboré à partir de composants synthétiques. Visionnaire de la mode, Gabrielle Chanel voulait offrir à la femme moderne un parfum inédit, présenté dans une bouteille en verre minimaliste, qui allait elle aussi devenir iconique. L'ouvrage se compose de deux volumes : le premier est consacré aux débuts du N° 5, de 1921 à 1945 ; le second au rayonnement exceptionnel du N° 5 devenu un véritable phénomène mondial, de 1945 à nos jours. L'ouvrage raconte l'évolution du parfum, de sa composition, de sa fabrication et de sa commercialisation, donnant un accès sans précédent aux archives Chanel et la parole à ceux qui sont, aujourd'hui, chargés de perpétuer cette fragrance.

Figure mythique de la mode, Gabrielle Chanel est un personnage incontournable qui, par le style simple et élégant qu'elle a su créer, marque aujourd'hui encore les esprits. Elle n'a eu de cesse de libérer le corps de la femme. Androgyne, épurée, dynamique, élégante : un vent de modernité a soufflé sur la silhouette Chanel.
