Coco Chanel... the very name is synonymous with Parisian chic and style. The creative genius who gave us the iconic Little Black Dress and the timeless fragrance Chanel No. 5 remains one of history's most influential fashion designers.

A forward-thinking businesswoman, she became a strong figure of female liberation, and showed extraordinary passion and determination to stamp her mark on the world. Her rags-to-riches journey, from abandoned orphan to style icon and household name, is one that still inspires entrepreneurs today.
This little guide captures the essence of a woman not afraid to speak her mind. There is much wisdom to glean from Chanel's self-reflections and shrewd views on the world around her, while her sharp wit and joie de vivre will amuse, surprise and inspire in equal measure.
