This is really interesting! There's probably more myth surrounding Chanel than just about any other designer. I haven't read this book, but a lot of the issues it raises sound logical to me. The company as a whole has done everything in its power to erase most of its history. I did a piece probably about a year ago detailing several of the designers who came after Coco but before Karl who have been entirely omitted from the official record. As you said, there's still so much to discover about Chanel history.

Totally! And we always say ourselves happen because of internet and socials, but you would love the book. 😊
