The story of Coco Chanel in her own words, as told by her to Paul Morand - in a deluxe special edition, illustrated by Karl Lagerfeld and authorised by Chanel

Told in her own words, Coco Chanel's memories offer a rare glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential women in fashion history. During a visit to St. Moritz at the end of World War II, Chanel shared intimate details of her life, loves and fashion philosophy with her life-long friend, Paul Morand.

Only coming to light after Chanel's death, her intimate recollections reveal the secrets behind her success and the captivating charm that made her a true icon. The Allure of Chanel attracted the attention of Karl Lagerfeld, who embellished it with 73 drawings, sketched for this special illustrated edition.
