At the end of World War II, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel invited diplomat and writer Paul Morand to St. Moritz and offered him the opportunity to write her memoirs. His notes of their conversations were put away in a drawer and only came to light a year after Chanel's death in 1971. They included candid memories and thoughts on diverse subjects - from her childhood to the men in her life to social issues. Originally published in 1976, The Allure of Chanel has been reprinted by Pushkin Press (2008). A must read.
