A new biography charts her curious and colourful controversies. Her given name was Gabrielle Chanel and she lived a rags to riches triumph.
Revelations include her affair with Hans Gunther von Dincklage, a Nazi spy during the second world war, her relocation to neutral Switzerland after the war, thereby avoiding official proceedings against her, suggests she was aware of her tenuous position. She was muse to the legendary art celebs of this century, Salvadore Dali, Igor Stranvinsky and Pablo Picasso. Finally, it is alleged that Chanel saw morphine as a harmless sedative - pretty heady stuff.
