I would just love to join you. <br /><br />I've been to St Petersburg briefly in both winter and summer and it still lingers in my memory as one of the most fascinating places in the world. I achieved one of my life dreams by going to the Bolshoi opera in Moscow for Queen of Spades and the Marinsky ballet in St Petersburg for Swan Lake.

For me, much of the appeal of Justine's book lies in the fabulous photographs and illustrations which she was able to find from a variety of sources, many never seen before. The HarperCollins edition incorporates them into the text really well, and the whole book looks wonderful. The Steidl edition ("sa Vie") on the other hand bunches all the pictures together, reduces the size of many of the most striking ones and even turns some of the colour images into black and white. The book thereby loses much of its subtlety and appeal. And frankly, the extra drawings by Karl Lagerfeld are scant consolation. I also prefer the remarkable photograph on the cover of the original to the somehow harsher picture by KL on the front of the French edition. To be fair, though, the French translation is pretty good at capturing Justine's inimitable prose.Lazywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165525030432208409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078357011397157919.post-1887661811795351492011-05-22T14:30:30.665-07:002011-05-22T14:30:30.665-07:00Mariette -- you can either buy the French edition ...Mariette -- you can either buy the French edition -- Chanel, Sa Vie, which is published by Steidl, or the English original, Coco Chanel, the Legend and the Life, published by Harper Collins.
