Since I discovered her, I loved her. I identify with her and her hard life as it has been mine. Her conquest for independence. Her free spirit. Her perseverance. Her designing lines. Her classy feminine/ masculine creations. Thanks for this great documentary and for your channel🌷

Having read 4 books about her, I still learned more. She was a genius and the modern woman owes her thanks. She was also a cruel person who's politics are antithetical to higher ideals. Truly a thumbnail of paradox. Her art was and is sublime.

She was very beautiful and I suppose she had to do what she had to do to keep her business. I love her rags to riches story and how she made hats and then went on to be one of the most successful fashion designers in history, she done it her way and her success was well deserved. Great video.

@nycp19692 жыл бұрын
@@mariapasos7482 It actually does. Chanel opened the Deauville shop in 1913 and this is where she first made casual clothes. (She was forbidden by law to make clothing in her Paris shop because there was already a dressmaker in the building.) In 1915 she opened her third shop in Biarritz in southwestern France. It is here that she began to make haute couture clothing. So it is significant because it shows the timeline of Chanel going from being a milliner to being an haute couture designer.

Oh I wouldn't quite say that . How about Eleanor Roosevelt m Queen Elizabeth, both 1 and 2 , , Queen2 Victoria, many other women were influential.

She may have become independent but the men in her life helped her a lot, financially and with contacts. And she was lucky to have acquired her sewing skills and hat-making knowledge from childhood. She was extremely chic but like the Duchess of WIndsor, no great beauty, and this is a great lesson in life, to make the most of what you've got. Being slim does help to look chick and good in clothes, I've noticed all the chic French ladies tend to be not just slim but very slim.

She was not the most beautiful woman, not a natural beauty, but the hats and clothes she designed, along with her costume jewelry and perfume made her elegant and glamorous, with great sex appeal. Her clothes worked with a woman's body. I also love the color black. It's a great color to accessorize with. Also, her make up and hair coloring, deep brunette or black (natural when she was young and dyed when she was older) was very flattering. She will always reign Queen of the fashion world, even though she's dressing the angels now.

Coco believed her clothes were her friends. I liked that and decided to choose well made garments in natural fibres and classic designs, instead of fast fashion pieces, that cost less. By giving my clothing the best of care, it lasts so much longer, which saves money in the end.
