This undated photo shows French fashion designer Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, a fashion icon whose name has become shorthand for timeless French chic, at an undisclosed location. A new book published in the U.S on Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2011, by Knopf, suggests Chanel not only had a wartime affair with a German aristocrat and spy, but that she herself was also an agent of Germany's Abwehr military intelligence organization and a rabid anti-Semite.
