Different Like Coco
A lively and inspiring look at the woman who invented 'the little black dress'.
Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel was always different. She was poor, skinny and orphaned, yet she held stubbornly to the belief that she was just as good as any of the wealthier, well-bred girls of Paris. Coco was determined to show the world that being different could be an advantage. With a talent for sewing and a creative mind, Coco began inventing clothing that suited her. By the time she was 50, Coco Chanel had put an indelible mark on Western culture and fashion.
- A uniquely chic look at a woman who dared to embrace her uniqueness and dream big -- ideal for young girls learning to understand their individuality.
