Dos viejos amigos Paul Morand y Coco Chanel, se encuentran casualmente. El fragor de la guerra ha puesto fin al deslumbrante mundo donde ejercian sus peculiares talentos en un ambiente desenvuelto y cosmopolita. Paris ha dejado de ser una fiesta. Desde alli se mira con prevencion a estos dos personajes, a quienes se reprocha su actitud durante la Ocupacion.
Voluntariamente exiliada, B+inactiva, por primera vez sin arreglar, mordiendose los labiosB;, Coco Chane l, fumando incansablemente, desgrana sus furias y sus recuerdos frente a su companero, que se ocupa de anotarlos al regresar a su habitacion. El aire de Chanel, aparecido en 1976, fue el utimo de los libros de Morand. El y Coco se habian conocido en 1921, compartian el mismo circulo de amistades, Jean Cocteau, Erik Satie, Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky, el matrimonio Sert.
Morand first met Coco Chanel in 1921, and in 1946 was invited to visit Chanel in St. Moritz, where he had extensive conversations with her, with a view to help write her memoirs. That project never came off, and the notes were put away and did not surface again until after Chanel's death, and were published finally in 1976. It's pretty well known by now that Chanel created herself in more ways than one, inventing stories about her childhood and upbringing, but the reality of a young woman who bro Morand first met Coco Chanel in 1921, and in 1946 was invited to visit Chanel in St. Moritz, where he had extensive conversations with her, with a view to help write her memoirs.
That project never came off, and the notes were put away and did not surface again until after Chanel's death, and were published finally in 1976. It's pretty well known by now that Chanel created herself in more ways than one, inventing stories about her childhood and upbringing, but the reality of a young woman who broke loose from that past, lived in the era of Picasso and Sert, and changed the face of fashion in a career that spanned the world wars, can't be anything other than fascinating.
No longer were clothes designed only for women whose lives were 'worthless and idle'; they were for women who led busy lives and who, therefore, needed to feel comfortable in their clothes. Tossing out corsets and introducing menswear tailoring, Chanel anticipated the needs of women as the 20th-century advanced.
Because these are Chanel's own words and thoughts, this book provides an insight into the thinking of a woman who was not only a great couturier, but a woman whose influence still resonates today. I cannot help but be reminded of the Chanel exhibit I saw at the Metropolitan Museum of Art a few years ago.
The exhibit juxtaposed Chanel's work with that of Karl Lagerfeld, who became head of the House of Chanel in the early '80s. The difference was stark. Nearly everything of Coco Chanel's could be worn today without hesitation, so classic are they. The designs of Lagerfeld, on the other hand, could have the date of design written on them. The book is not, however, confined to Chanel and the world of fashion. She talks, also, about her private life, her amours, which would be a book in and of themselves.
Morand did an interview with Chanel and then transcribed the notes. It's really interesting because it's Chanel telling the story. It isn't just a story of an ambitious woman who wanted to change fashion, it was someone who didn't fit in.
Sometimes she was insecure, sometimes bitter and arrogant. There's so much emotion that you really get pulled into who she is. I think another interesting thing is the perspective.
Sometimes she'll acknowledge lying, other times denounce that she lies. It makes Morand did an interview with Chanel and then transcribed the notes.
