I recently read The Gospel According to Coco Chanel. It has many scathing reviews by customers, because they were expecting a blueprint for how to do fashion the Chanel way. Instead they got a bunch of anecdotes about the personality, spirit and history of the woman herself. But once you understand this, it's a fabulous read--think walking through a Coco Chanel exhibit with a highly informed and entertaining docent.
The bit where the author gets kicked out of a Parisian boutique is to die for.
Have you read any great fashion reads, recently or in the past?
