The Last Collection: A Novel of Elsa Schiaparelli and Coco Chanel
by Jeanne Mackin
The Last Collection(4/13/2019)
I enjoyed the mix of the historical personalities and events with the life of the main character. Of course, everyone knows about Coco Chanel, but I never knew about the rivalry between her and Elsa Schiaparelli. Somehow the main character did not seem quite as interesting as the times she lived in and the people she met.
