de couture. Mais derrière la légende, Coco Chanel a laissé dans son sillage un parfum de scandale. Au-delà d'un antisémitisme dont elle ne se cachait guère, il manquait une pièce maîtresse au puzzle de sa vie. S'appuyant sur des archives récemment déclassifiées, l'Américain Hal Vaughan, ancien diplomate et écrivain, lève les ultimes zones d'ombre en apportant les preuves de la collaboration de Chanel, recrutée officiellement comme agent par les services de renseignement de l'armée allemande dès 1940. La créatrice entretient alors une relation passionnelle avec le baron Hans Günther von Dincklage, un espion nazi de haut rang, longtemps considéré, à tort, comme un play-boy inoffensif, et fréquente assidûment une petite bande de collaborateurs fort actifs. Recréant à merveille l'atmosphère du tout-Paris de l'époque, cette biographie explosive éclaire d'un jour nouveau la personnalité insaisissable d'une femme dont le génie provocateur n'a pas fini de fasciner.
