Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky by Chris Greenhalgh
Coco Chanel and Composer Igor Stravinsky.Their love affair inspired their art.
Their art defined an era.
In 1913, at the premiere of Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, the young couturiere Coco Chanel witnesses the birth of a musical revolution- one that, like her designs, rips down the artifice of the old regime and ushers in something profoundly modern. Seven years later, she invites Stravinsky and his family, now exiled from their Russian homeland, for a summer at her villa, and the powerful charge between them ignites into a deep love affair. As Stravinsky enjoys a new burst of creativity and Chanel brings forth her own revolutionary creation-the perfume Chanel No. 5-their love threatens to overtake work, family and life.
CHRIS GREENHALGH is the prize-winning author of three collections of poetry, a novel, and the screenplay for Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky, which premiered at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival and received a standing ovation. He resides in Sevenoaks, Kent, UK, with his wife and two sons.
