Coco Chanel: da alta costura à literatura infantil. Um estudo sobre o livro “Diferente como Chanel”

Abstract

The present research analyzes the book "Different as Chanel" (2009) published by CosacNaify, in order to understand the relevance of publishing for children and youth in the catalog of the publishing house. We show that the book, narrating the biography of a prominent figure in the fashion world, contributes to the formation of representations and meanings for such readers. In theoretical and methodological aspects, the studies about fashion, children’s literature and the life of Coco Chanel substantiate the interpretations derived from the analysis of the publication.
