Andrea Stoeckel asked C.W. Gortner:

I first "found" you with Madamoiselle Chanel, and have the rest of your work in my "used book wish list". I rarely buy books, however I want to get all of yours. Question: How long between idea and finished work?

C.W. Gortner Depends on the subject. For Chanel, it took three years of intensive research and writing once I decided to write about her. But I'd also studied her for many years before that, as part of my fashion degree, so I had a head start on her. With other subjects, it can take longer to research.
