Chanel intime

New expanded edition

Almost everything has been said, written, or filmed about the life and work of Coco Chanel (1881–1971), except for her private life. Gabrielle Palasse-Labrunie, the daughter of André Palasse, Coco Chanel's nephew whom she raised as her son, is the only direct descendant of Coco Chanel who was close to her for over forty years. Out of friendship, she agreed to open her doors and share her memories.

This book, first published in 2011, offers an insight into the private world of Coco Chanel and is supplemented by a chapter on the war period. Far from speculation and rumour, this factual and well-documented account, the result of extensive research and years of investigation, provides a glimpse into the life and personality of Coco Chanel.
