Hija de una tuberculosa y un comerciante ambulante, Gabrielle Bonheur (era su verdadero nombre)vive una dura infancia. Cuando su madre muere entra en un hospicio. En 1914 comienza su trayectoria profesional con el diseño de sombreros para su sombrereria de Paris. Pocos años despues en la decada de los veinte su estilo comienza a perfilarse. Es entonces cuando saca al mercado un traje, realizado en punto de lana, compuesto de una chaqueta recta y una falda corta recta. La sencillez de este diseño marcaria definitivamente el estilo Chanel. Como complemento de esta idea la modista mas chic del momento presento un corte de pelo a lo chico. Ademas creo Chanel numero 5, uno de los perfumes que hoy siguen siendo simbolo de glamour y que era el pijama preferido de Marilyn Monroe. Todos sus diseños podian verse en la lujosa boutique que abrio en Paris. Todas sus creaciones significaron un cambio radical respecto al periodo anterior. Sinonimo de modernidad, consiguio que las mujeres abandonaran los encorsetados diseños de antaño apostando por la comodidad.

¿Cómo se puede conciliar el alma racional de las empresas de la moda −los gestores− cuyo papel es cada vez más importante con el alma emocional de las mismas empresas −los creativos y los técnicos− que no obstante representan su verdadera esencia? Este libro, que ha sido el primero en proponer un modelo de gestión original para las empresas del sistema moda, recupera el tema tras unos años de extraordinarios cambios en el mercado global, abordando la creciente complejidad del sector y las perspectivas futuras de la moda, especialmente de la italiana. La internacionalización comercial y productiva, los nuevos competidores asiáticos, la revolución en la distribución, las inversiones cada vez más importantes en la marca y en la imagen: todos estos procesos han alterado las tradicionales lógicas de negocio del sector e imponen, sin más dilación, la necesidad de adoptar un enfoque centrado en las más actuales técnicas de gestión y dirección de las empresas de la moda, aunque sin olvidar su savia vital, es decir, la cultura de la creatividad y del producto, el impulso constante a la innovación y la importancia de los procesos de comunicación.

Author Caroline Cox traces the development of the bag from its origins in the nineteenth century with reticules (essentially pockets with handles) and Louis Vuitton''s revolutionary Noe bag for the female traveller, via Art Deco clutch bags moulded in Bakelite and the Hermes Kelly bag endorsed by Princess Grace in the 1950s, right up to the accessory of the moment, the Mulberry Roxanne.
