First printing
Life on the Riviera, as shown in contemporary photographs, illustrate the ways in which Chanel pioneered how women were perceived and treated.
Her astonishing style is seen against those of contemporaries such as Picasso, Diaghilev, Cocteau, Visconti, Man Ray, Colette, and Christian Dior.
Her neighbors included all sorts of British aristocracy and the architect Le Corbusier, who painted erotic murals for her.
