From Booklist
Whether it is a knockoff, a rip-off, or the real thing, the look of Chanel is unmistakable. Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel created the "ease of movement" couture for active women, stressed the importance of the little black dress, and was the first fashion designer with a signature perfume. This book is a historical look at the House of Chanel and at Chanel herself as a couturiere. Whether turning out stylish hats and jersey fabrics or laborious beadwork and jewelry designs, Rue 21 Cambon has continuously soared with success. Details of Coco's personal life, business savvy, and influential work associates are also covered, showcasing this marketing genius' fashion foothold. Upon Coco's death, revival efforts by other designers were made, but none so successful as Karl Lagerfeld's. He propelled Chanel to supermodel fame. Many of his styles mimic traditional tweeds and accentuate the fluidity of fabrics; however, Lagerfeld adds a touch of mockery and brass to modernize the look. Under Lagerfeld, the House of Chanel has made an impressive and monetary turnaround that would make even the irascible Coco proud. Lisa Orzepowski

Thin book with glossy photos
8. April 2007
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The writing is not very good - more like a stream of advertorials. There is overwhelming praise of Chanel's work - flattery more like it - without any criticism or analysis. However the pictures are good if you are collecting photos of Chanel's clothing designs over time. "Chanel and Her World" is a better book - it was put together with more thought. "Chanel: The Couturiere At Work" is just a thin book - more like a magazine, with insubstantial prose. Get it used.

"Coco" and why she mattered ...
28. Dezember 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel is adequately profiled in this book; from her very humble beginnings to her rise and fall -- and rise again -- this is an insightful biography of the woman and her work, which were for all intents and purposes inseparable. The authors capture not just the drive and determination which propelled Coco to the heights, but shrewdly illustrate how startlingly ahead of her time the designer was, and how much her work and ideas permeate fashion, even to the present day. Don't let the absurdities and excess of so much Chanel on the runway today fool you -- this woman was a visionary in her time, and the quintessence of her designs was paradoxically American; sporty, practical, possessed of a spare elegance, though she was in every way a Frenchwoman through and through. The early drawings of her first dresses are included here and are fascinating. Precious few exist, because -- as they book tells -- Coco Chanel preferred to design on the body, using live models. She was a perfectionist par excellence who introduced trends that transcended their time, and this modest book is a worthy addition to your library if you have any interest at all in the foundations of twentieth century fashion. There are many books on Chanel; I haven't read them all, so this isn't a comparative review, just the opinions of a fan of the couturiere as artist.

Chanel: The Couturiere At Work is a lovely survey of fashion icon Coco Chanel and her innovative fashion ideas, and belongs in any collection boasting a focus on fashion. Her style is examined in depth; from her first early creations in the early 20th century through her design changes over the decades and her creations through the House of Chanel. Loaded with black and white and color examples from all the periods, Chanel The Couturiere At Work is a 'must' for any serious fashion collection.
