Book ID/图书代码: 06140505B06276
English Summary/英文概要: Paris, 1913: Coco is in love with rich and handsome captain Arthur Edward Boy Capel, but also focused on her work, since she wants to democratize fashion for women. In the same time, Igor Stravinsky presents "The Rite of Spring" and tries to redefine taste in music. Coco appeared in a chic dress at the premiere. Music and ballet were criticized as too modern and foreign.
Boy Capel died in a car crash on his motor in 1919, while Coco experienced great success in Paris, but was grieving loss of her companion.
Igor, who was a refugee because of the Russian revolution, moved to live in exile in Paris. Coco and Igor were acquainted by Diaghilev, impresario Ballet Russes. Attraction between the two of them was instantaneous. She invited him, his wife and their four children to stay in her villa Bel Respiro in Garches.
