Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Discover Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel's vacation villa on the French Riviera, where she entertained the leading lights of the French cultural scene in the 1930s and 1940s.>Plunging the reader into the bustling atmosphere of the Côte d'Azur in the 1930s, this book showcases all facets of her Mediterranean home—its conception and construction, unique architecture and gardens, and the artists and creatives it inspired. The luxurious tome is bound in Orient blue cloth with an inlaid portrait of the villa, seven-color printing on two paper stocks, and three facsimile inserts—Chanel's correspondence with Picasso and Dalí and an architectural plan of the villa. Expert essays and rare archival materials are completed with a conversation between Yana Peel and Peter Marino (who recently restored the villa) and a chronology. Reflecting the creativity and singularity of the iconic fashion designer, La Pausa is a monument to the private world of Gabrielle Chanel.
