About

Several years after leaving the orphanage, to which her father never returned for her, Gabrielle Chanel finds herself working in a provincial bar. She's both a seamstress for the performers and a singer, earning the nickname Coco from the song she sings nightly with her sister. A liaison with Baron Balsan gives her an entree into French society and a chance to develop her gift for designing.

A penniless seamstress fights to claw her way out of provincial obscurity through sheer, unapologetic ambition. This portrait captures the relentless hunger required to transform a lonely orphan into a global fashion icon.
