Coco Chanel by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara

Born into poverty and raised in a convent, she learned to sew and used her sharp eye and bold ideas to transform women’s fashion—introducing simple, comfortable silhouettes like the little black dress and menswear-inspired suits, popularizing jersey fabrics, and launching an iconic perfume—becoming a fiercely independent designer whose reinvention of style left a lasting legacy on the fashion world.
