Her 2010 biography of Coco Chanel was shortlisted for the Galaxy National Book Awards. A long-time question among fashion historians and experts about whether the famous pink Chanel suit of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy was made by Chanel in France or a quality copy purchased from New York's semiannual Chez Ninon collections was resolved by Picardie, who showed that the suit was a garment made by Chez Ninon using Chanel's approved "line for line" system with authorized Chanel patterns and materials.
