Chanel Celebrates "Chanel - Her Life"

On September 21st, CHANEL hosted a special event at the Boston Public Library to celebrate the launch of “Chanel—Her Life” by acclaimed journalist and author, Justine Picardie. Picardie was the first author to be given access to undiscovered private archives of Coco Chanel in the United Kingdom and France. She captures every aspect of Chanel's life, including in her book a collection of 200 unpublished photos and drawings of the French fashion icon. The event drew a stylish bunch, and among special guests were long-time fashionista Marilyn Riseman and Mary Nobile-King of CHANEL.
