What, perhaps, they don't know is that she was taught to sew by nuns and started Chanel by making hats; that, in 1935, she was recognized as the world's wealthiest woman; and that she once worked as a singer, famously gaining the nickname "Coco" from one of her songs.

Many people know that Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel was a prolific French fashion designer and founder of the House of Chanel, who ruled over Parisian haute couture for almost six decades. What, perhaps, they don't know is that she was taught to sew by nuns and started Chanel by making hats; that, in 1935, she was recognized as the world's wealthiest woman; and that she once worked as a singer, famously gaining the nickname "Coco" from one of her songs. This book presents a visual catwalk through her life and work, with an array of facts and figures converted into infographics to reveal the genius behind the garments. La colección Biográfico ofrece una mirada completamente nueva de las vidas de grandes creadores y pensadores de la historia. Recoge 50 fechas, hechos, pensamientos, hábitos y éxitos que los definen y los plasma mediante vívidas instantáneas en forma de infografías. Es de sobra conocido que Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel (1883-1971) fue una prolífica diseñadora de moda y fundadora de la Casa Chanel, y que lideró la alta costura parisina durante seis décadas. Lo que quizás no se sepa es que vivió en el Hotel Ritz de París más de 34 años; que era una buena pescadora de caña, práctica en la que aventajaba al duque de Westminster y a Winston Churchill, y que, después de vender los derechos de su perfume "Número 5", pasó más de 20 años tratando de recuperarlos. Biográfico Coco es una pasarela en la que vemos desfilar su vida, obra y legado, mediante una serie de hechos y cifras impactantes convertidos en atractivas imágenes que descubren a la modista más allá de sus creaciones.
