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.

A beautifully illustrated series of stories, Becoming is a smart and engaging book that sheds light into the life and work of an extraordinary woman.International supermodel Cindy Crawford chronicles her life and career, sharing stories and lessons learned, and featuring her most memorable images in this New York Times bestseller. Cindy Crawford was the cornerstone of the golden age of the supermodel in the 1990s. She blazed a trail during that decade, seamlessly moving between the runway to unconventional outlets, such as cutting-edge MTV, Super Bowl commercials, and even Playboy magazine.On the eve of her fiftieth birthday, Crawford looks back, photo shoot by photo shoot, on a remarkable career and various life lessons she absorbed. She discusses her earliest modeling years and learning how to become less self-conscious in front of a camera; trusting her own instincts about creating positive messages about a healthy and strong body image that she knew would reach women of all ages; her feelings about becoming a wife and a mother; and her thoughts about turning fifty and what she would tell her younger self if she had the chance.The photographs span her entire career, beginning from the mid 1980s, and feature unpublished images from Crawfords personal archive in addition to images by every top name in fashion photography, including Annie Leibovitz, Arthur Elgort, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Irving Penn, Patrick Demarchelier, and Richard Avedon, among others.

Caulfield coloca el objeto dentro de un más cohesivo continuum temporal, dándole así más forma a la transferencia mutua de afecto entre sí misma y las piezas de ropa que usa o los objetos con los que se rodea.
