The story of the legendary woman behind the famous couture brand - the groundbreaking fashion, perfumes, handbags, perfumes - is unveiled through a contemporary retelling in graphic novel form.

From abandonment and poverty to influential friends and wealth, this independent, driven and fiercely determined woman created a whole new style and way of dressing, and changed fashion forever.

The book tracks her early career as she advanced from a seamstress to an entrepreneur, borrowing from male fashions to combine comfort and elegance in clothing for women, with such groundbreaking innovations as the 'little black dress' and Chanel No.5 perfume.
