"Karbo’s book is a humorous, chic, little self-help manual that casts Chanel as a much more stylish Dr. Phil."
-The Times-Picayune
...one of the coolest biographies I’ve ever read.

Karbo delivers a mini-biography, with perceptive and amusing commentary... The fashion is merely fascinating, a means to an end. The life lessons? For a woman trying to find a safe haven in America, this book delivers more wisdom --- and wit --- per page than Dr. Phil will dispense in a lifetime.

"...an irreverent self-help guide masquerading as biography."
-The New York Times
Reading Karbo is like listening to a dear friend talk about the legendary designer over brunch... This is a fun, insightful look at the genius behind the little black dress.
—The Los Angeles Times
“Anyone with a good sense of humor should hugely enjoy, or should I say enjoie,
Karen Karbo's funny and stylish take on Coco Chanel. Like a little black dress,
this handy life guide will take you from day into evening. K.K. on C.C.: oui,
oui!”
—Henry Alford, author of How to Live: A Search for Wisdom from Old People (While
They are Still on This Earth)
"Wise, witty, and refreshingly colloquial, The Gospel According to Coco Chanel
is an enchanting tour through the complex, often controversial life of fashion
icon Chanel. Filled with relevant life lessons for the modern woman, this book
is Karbo at her irrepressible best."
—Hilary Black, editor of The Secret Currency of Love: The Unabashed Truth About
Women, Money, and Relationship
"... it looks like a trifle. Looks can be deceiving."
—Wall Street Journal
"Ms. Karbo has salted in biographical material, without
an ounce of the syrupy reverence typically given Ms. Chanel."
—Wall Street Journal
