About this product

Product Information

Inheriting a priceless vintage clothing collection sounds like every woman's dream come true. But when Charlotte Smith discovered that her American godmother, Doris Darnell, had made her custodian of more than three thousand pieces dating from 1790 to the 1990s, including originals by Chanel and Dior, she was more than a little daunted. Then Charlotte uncovered her first treasure-- an exquisite 1920s evening dress--and promptly fell in love. And once she found her godmother's book of stories, the true value of her inheritance hit home. This wasn't merely a collection of beautiful things, it was a precious collection of women's lives. Tiny glimpses of our joys and disappointments, our entrances and exits, triumphant and tragic. In her previous book, Dreaming of Dior, Charlotte shared some of these gorgeous dresses and the stories of the women who wore them. Now, in Dreaming of Chanel, with special appearances by Chanel, Vivienne Westwood, Pucci, Valentino and many more, Charlotte offers another unforgettable glimpse inside the magical wardrobe every woman would love to own.

    Cute illustrations, terrible book

    The stories accompanying the cute illustrations are terrible. If this sampling is an accurate representation of the writer's ability, it demonstrates she is not adept at creating imagery through storytelling. The clothes featured aren't even Chanel, which makes the title for this book misleading. All I can think of is, the Dior book must have made her a few bucks, hence this sequel/continuation. Not recommended as a read, but if all you're after are some cute fashion drawings and can find the book used, it's worth it. If you want to read something ridiculously entertaining and educational about the actual life and career of Coco, I recommend "The Gospel According to Chanel" by Karen Karbo. I tore through it and loved every word.

    Disappointed

    after watching a show on the woman who inherited a vas amount of vintage clothing I was really looking forward to this book. When I ordered the book I innocently assumed there were photos of the beautiful clothing. Tons of illustrations but not a single picture. Very disappointed.
