Chanel Sa Vie

  Last year, Justine Picardie released `Coco Chanel: The Legend and The Life.` Karl Lagerfeld enjoyed the bio so much that it inspired him to sketch Coco Chanel for a new edition that will be published by Steidl. 
 Picardie and Lagerfeld will host a cocktail reception for the 2nd edition at Galignani, one of Lagerfeld’s favorite bookstores in Paris. A German version releases in April and the English version will release in June.
 Chic Parisians paying court to Lagerfeld and Ms Picardie – the brilliant British writer – included actress Sandrine Kiberlain, antiquaire Pierre Passebon, decorator Vincent Darré as well as Coco Chanel’s great nephew: Guillaume Labrunie. “My daughter and I are all that remains of Tante Coco’s family,” he said.
