And then years later, she got a TV biopic, portraying her as an ahead if her time, independent genius who lost her one true love. They just took out all the racism, greed and treason.
Anyways, has that biopic been shunned and properly cast aside as garbage yet? People still talk fondly of Coco Channel. Usually it's from a place of ignorance, but quite a lot genuinely don't care much about her being a nazi/traitor.
I had no idea about this tbh...so it really sucks that they did not address it in the biopic ..but they do not want to ruin the brand . All about the money .
She wouldn't have been anything without the Jewish man who helped her. What a b****. But I think ultimately but it's extremely funny that Pierre's descendants own the company. If that's not karma I don't know what is. XD
Yup, I never like Coco Channel (the person), for me she's the worst role model for young women, a greedy, back-stabing, racist, hypocrite, manipulative dirtbag. People who admire that kind of person are basically saying: women should be gold diggers, and have scumbag personality to get anywhere.
@@Mollygan what she did ultimately set her up for a lifetime of wealth. regardless of your qualms with a "gold diggers", it's obviously smart and pays off.
I thinks she both negative and positive role model, she was poor and during that time the only thing most women had to worry about was their power over men through there appearance and charisma. I think she had a dream and was willing to do anything to try and achieve it but that's were the negatives come. When she started perfumes and collaborated with that man she didn't set aside her prejudice but used him to help with her business then try to take their entire business
I'm sorry I'm confused I thought of sugar daddy was for a person that doesn't want to work? Coco Chanel worked. This issue has more to do with countries that don't invest in their citizens that have abilities to create good companies. Starting a company is very challenging for everybody and we shouldn't have a world where only people with Rich parents get to have opportunities to do what they want. I believe in equal opportunities for everybody so the world is based on who is talented and working hard to support a career that can be fulfilling for themselves and others in their Community with their skills and talents.

@@cyzcyt Fascinating how sexism works. Men create a world where women need them to survive then put women down for becoming opportunists that don't want to get married to have a good life. She was a damn orphan just trying to make it in the world and I have empathy for that even tho I grew up privileged. I feel guilty seeing so many people struggle with things like this because my parents are the ones helping me start a business and she didn't have that. Empathy is a good thing to have for others in my opinion. Even with her trying to use the Nazis she couldn't get back the company she created.

There's an amazing book about this topic which I used in my research on Chanel: Sleeping with the Enemy: Coco Chanel's Secret War by Hal Vaughan It's really impressively researched and written and a total recommendation for everyone who is interested in this topic.
Okay people, it just shocks me how all of you are suprised about this. There was NO WAY you could start a succesful business if you weren't sympathized with the german nazis. They were everywhere. They had power. I can assure you, every single company started during the war has corelation with nazis, no matter if its Disney, Ikea or Hugo Boss. Coco had no morals, she was manipulative and that's how she made her way to the top and it amazes me how she is portrayed as the elegance symbol, because in my opinion you cannot be elegant without an elegant soul.
Yeah they were the rising powers in the 30's so they were the ones you wanted to get in bed with. Keep in mind it was years before the real atrocities happened and much before they came to public knowledge. Government and military contracts are extremely lucrative for private companies. It makes perfect business sense that many companies wanted to work for them. Business people are cold hearted MF-ers, they only care about the money. I can't believe people are surprised by this.
Sancocho coco Chanel was not one of these women . She lived in her own world . She had her opportunity to start a new life and flee to America like many other wealthy people in Paris . Instead she stayed and swindled her way into the Nazi party . It amazes me that people would support such a human , whether it be a woman or man
Nothing about being a woman (leg to stand on? C'mon, she got everything she wanted just by looking pretty and batting her eyelashes from her suitors). Pierre got most of it because she couldn't expand without his business. If it wasn't for him, she'll just be a small store in France. So, the international venture needed her business to integrate with his, which was a much bigger and wealthier business. That's why he owns most of it because most of it was his.
A lot of the most iconic 20th century fashion designers had Nazi sympathies/ties, she wasn't the only one. Christian Dior, Hugo Boss, Cristobal Balenciaga, including the Louis Vuitton family.
Hold on now you have to be careful suggesting people like Christian Dior had “ties” as you put it, it’s not that simple. Dior was not himself an established designer nor was he a sympathiser, simply he was a man working in a fashion house during the occupation of France and he like meany others where forced to obey orders. He dressed nazi wife’s yes did he want to ? No. His sister who he loved more than anything was a member of the French resistance who was captured, tortured and sent to a concentration camp. The miss Dior perfume was dedicated to her upon its release. Then again he had a cousin who was a nazi but then like anyone of the time there will have been people he knew who where for an against. Diors views are not public. Coco Chanel on the other hand is quite evident but I suspect it had more to do with her own financial greed.
Wow so what do you want? For every brand and person who collaberated with germany under the war to be banned and forgotten? You know germans are people as well and not guilty of genocide, yes there was some people doing that but it is nothing compared to the rest of the german population
On the one hand: made big steps for women by releasing us from the corset and empowering us with clothing we could finally breathe in and express ourselves in. On the other hand: was a full blown fascist nazi supporter. Its pretty disheartening and disturbing to learn more about this side of her life when we're so used to hearing only good things about her.
What do you expect? Germany was an economic powerhouse back then (and still is today). Of course businesses would want to do business with the country. It's a no-brainer.
@@bulletsfordinner8307 That's not the case. Any company that survived the years of war and stayed successful wasn't just superficially involved with the Nazis "to survive". It was mainstream to support the Nazis and there wasn't much oppression necessary to "force" companies to align with Nazi ideology and involvement in the war (war is always a business opportunity and brings in money).
Jojo oli Hugo boss didn’t make uniforms to survive... Hugo boss were willing participants.... Fanta was also made for the nazis by the coke company. Fantasy was the original name, they didn’t like nazis drinking coka cola because it looked bad.
I don't condone her spying for the Nazis of course, but calling her a gold digger takes away much of her talent and hard work. And in the end, it still feels like she got scammed.
Tbh she kinda deserved that ,she was a nazist at the end of the day and traitor to her own country,how are u going to sleep with your enemy when they are killing your own people
Luxury items trickle down to thrift stores lol. I buy what I like and it happens to be designer but for like no more than a 5 percent difference than the original lol 😆 it's kinda like our lil boycott..
Thank you for this extensive work about the real face of Gabrielle Chanel! Here in France too many people know about this part of her personnal history. When will you do the same about Simone de Beauvoir who have also been a collaborationist?
Thank you for creating this important video. People are so fixated on a freaking Chanel bag without even knowing the truth behind the brand. I wouldn’t buy one anyway because any company that thrives on making a fortune from items made of animal skin is an asshole. The info in this video just adds another reason to why I would never buy the overrated products.
It's amazing how they gloss over history. She sounds like a despicable human being. We were only ever told about how she was a great woman who changed the world.
"Coco Before Chanel" ... It skipped over all most all of this. Funny how her and Edith Piaf had some similar plotlines in life....I wished they'd have explained more of why Churchill got Chanel out of trouble.
I've never been one to own designer items but have always loved the creative designers. I was so surprised to learn about Chanel and wonder if people really knew the truth would they still be so quick to own a Chanel bag, shoes, etc.
I think you owe it to yourself to learn more about Ms Chanel, the complex set of circumstances she found herself in, Vichy France, the German occupation, and the general context of that era. Formulating an opinion of someone based upon a single video can be very unfair, and it would be tragic to think that if you'd have done more investigating you may have reformulated your opinion to be more sympathetic towards the woman.
CC could not vote, have basic legal rights, get a bank account, etc as a woman and was alone in the world, so she accepted terrible deals as there was little chance for fairness for her or any woman in early 1900s in France. The perfume was totally Coco's idea and Pierre Wetheimer wanted 75% of the profit for funding the venture. It was totally wrong of her to take advantage of the anti-semite uprising to reclaim more of her perfume business. She had a blind survivor's mentality and was not proud of some of her past behavior later in life according to one of her biographers and died in a sad and lonely state.
1:38 I spot a catboy in the background there. Nice stealthly best boy reference lads. This is like the Microsoft video as well. Felix was in the court room of that video
Plz make video about the recent worries of a "recession" and also maybe make a video that is a timeline of all previous recessions/depressions and what caused them + what we can learn from them, please keep up the great work!
I never cared for this brand anyway 🤷🏾♀️. A lot of brands I don’t care for and never wore, I find out later on that they are problematic or created by a problematic figure. It’s like I have a sixth sense for these things 😂😂😂
1:37 I found Felix! Also, I completely, Disagree with your assessment of Coco being Anti-Semitic. Pierre Wertheimer took advantage of her lack of understanding of legal contracts to steal 90 percent of the business from her along with 90% of the dividend payments. It's complete bullshit that he got to own 90% of her business simply because French Banks didn't issue bank accounts to women. He didn't do anything for the business besides being the guarantor on paper of a business that had very little risk, to begin with. If she could have, she would have just made her own bank account instead of relying on Wertheimer. Coco did not make any anti-Semitic comments in her life. The only thing she ever did was try to "reclaim her business" (6:09) just as you said because "she wasn't helping the Nazis out of the kindness of her heart" (5:49). You paint Wertheimer as some sort of ethical genius when he was just a con man while painting out how Coco as the bad guy.
I lost interest in Chanel in 2015 when I tested their makeup and asked if they carried the powder in my skin tone. The shop assistant said, "Sorry ma'am Chanel only makes makeup for White skin tones. I know that they later started to creating some lines of makeup with darker skin tones, but that wasn't good enough for me. The problem is that they created a separate line just for darker skin tones but the make-up wasn't as luxurious as the original Chanel make-up brand. I swore to myself that I will never buy anything from Chanel. I know that they use light-skinned "black" celebrities like CardiB to promote their brand. But, why should I support businesses that only support women who bleach their skins? I won't even buy a Chanel handbag, no matter how many times the name is dropped by so-called rappers. No way!
Makes me want to click my heels and do a slight bow at the waist (and adjust my monocle). For some reason I hear James Cagney shouting, "SCHLEMMER !! ....Stop clicking your heels! And, you're back in the S.S. -- Smaller salary!"
"Hugo and I are like peas in a pod! We're both Factory Owners! We've both produced fine clothes for the Nazis, but mine were more fashionable, damm it!" - Coco Chanel
I lived not so far from the social siege in Paris and when I learned that when I studied Chanel’s history at 11 yo i wanted to tag a big *ss nazi symbol on their wall but then i remembered that I was too much of a coward.
She was consistent. And she loved beauty. And if you love beauty, you'd like the Nazi's since the Nazis cultivated aesthetics. Part of the appeal of Nazism is their sense of style, the Aryan art, and even in the uniforms of the soldiers.
I just put Coco aside and don't judge her. I just hate typical businessman. They have power and money , they abuse the creator. I know that how the world happen. But businessmen are greedy leeches, steal the idea and make money out of it with little share or nothing even mention the creator name. At brief, they try to take all and kick the creator out. Coco was still lucky.
It would be nice to make a video on Henry Ford. His anti-Semitism and his support for Nazism. The Ford and General Motor factories which operated in Germany during the war and which provided a lot of military vehicles to the Nazis!
And then years later, she got a TV biopic, portraying her as an ahead if her time, independent genius who lost her one true love. They just took out all the racism, greed and treason.
Don’t forget being a hypocrite
@@mizanulhaque8476 That too. I knew that biopic was full of bs.

You forgot to mention that she also passed secrets to the British and that she was actually in love with boy chapel . There is so much left out
The video is about her Nazi connections not her love life
@@nitacodes2786 😂😂
Lol how is she going to be in love with nazi and British at the same time
Man ur production is fab.. keep them coming
1:36 is that an anime girl in the back?
I've never been one to own designer items but have always loved the creative designers. I was so surprised to learn about Chanel and wonder if people really knew the truth would they still be so quick to own a Chanel bag, shoes, etc.
Read my comments.
People would rather boycott Elon Musk for no longer being a democrat, then stop buying Chanel
I think you owe it to yourself to learn more about Ms Chanel, the complex set of circumstances she found herself in, Vichy France, the German occupation, and the general context of that era. Formulating an opinion of someone based upon a single video can be very unfair, and it would be tragic to think that if you'd have done more investigating you may have reformulated your opinion to be more sympathetic towards the woman.
My friend just did a project her, and there was nothing bad about her, boy is she going to be surprised.
The production value of this video is wonderful ✨✨✨
CC could not vote, have basic legal rights, get a bank account, etc as a woman and was alone in the world, so she accepted terrible deals as there was little chance for fairness for her or any woman in early 1900s in France. The perfume was totally Coco's idea and Pierre Wetheimer wanted 75% of the profit for funding the venture. It was totally wrong of her to take advantage of the anti-semite uprising to reclaim more of her perfume business. She had a blind survivor's mentality and was not proud of some of her past behavior later in life according to one of her biographers and died in a sad and lonely state.
Thank you for that. I want to learn more about her.
1:38 I spot a catboy in the background there. Nice stealthly best boy reference lads. This is like the Microsoft video as well. Felix was in the court room of that video
1:38 WAIT A MINUTE THAT PAINTING
Plz make video about the recent worries of a "recession" and also maybe make a video that is a timeline of all previous recessions/depressions and what caused them + what we can learn from them, please keep up the great work!
"look I don't sew now I make money moves"... I'm pretty sure she had a ghost sewer 😂
😆
Remember that toy camera we played with in the 80s?? The one you had to put a film ring in?? This reminds me of that..
I think that is called a ViewMaster.
"...1:26 while singing on the side to earn extra cash..." did you mean by 'singing' as vocal engagement or operating a 'singer' sewing machine?
Didn DiDo ....he more than likely meant she was using her mouth for givin "oral favors" to men in exchange for their financial support....
@@branon6565 Tough days back then...
Lmao 🤣
I never cared for this brand anyway 🤷🏾♀️. A lot of brands I don’t care for and never wore, I find out later on that they are problematic or created by a problematic figure. It’s like I have a sixth sense for these things 😂😂😂
B. Alexis Beauty all European brands are very racist. That why I don’t support them
Angelina good for you?
Most people who become rich and successful don't get there by being decent people...
@@inspiredby624 absolutely!!!! All great wealth was achieved by corruption. You can be absolutely sure of that.
Read my comments.
1:37 I found Felix!
Also, I completely, Disagree with your assessment of Coco being Anti-Semitic. Pierre Wertheimer took advantage of her lack of understanding of legal contracts to steal 90 percent of the business from her along with 90% of the dividend payments. It's complete bullshit that he got to own 90% of her business simply because French Banks didn't issue bank accounts to women. He didn't do anything for the business besides being the guarantor on paper of a business that had very little risk, to begin with. If she could have, she would have just made her own bank account instead of relying on Wertheimer.
Coco did not make any anti-Semitic comments in her life. The only thing she ever did was try to "reclaim her business" (6:09) just as you said because "she wasn't helping the Nazis out of the kindness of her heart" (5:49).
You paint Wertheimer as some sort of ethical genius when he was just a con man while painting out how Coco as the bad guy.
I like how COCO agreed with her adversaries to get the alias to help her reclaim her company. Another form of humility.
It makes perfect sense that a brand loved by gold diggers was started by one of the biggest gold diggers.
I lost interest in Chanel in 2015 when I tested their makeup and asked if they carried the powder in my skin tone. The shop assistant said, "Sorry ma'am Chanel only makes makeup for White skin tones.
I know that they later started to creating some lines of makeup with darker skin tones, but that wasn't good enough for me. The problem is that they created a separate line just for darker skin tones but the make-up wasn't as luxurious as the original Chanel make-up brand.
I swore to myself that I will never buy anything from Chanel. I know that they use light-skinned "black" celebrities like CardiB to promote their brand. But, why should I support businesses that only support women who bleach their skins? I won't even buy a Chanel handbag, no matter how many times the name is dropped by so-called rappers. No way!
Wow- I used to admire her, had no idea about this side of the story.
This is just like hugo.
1:40 - When anime is existing at the time of Coco Chanel 😂😂
I noticed too
Man could you make a video about Andrew Carnegie?You already have about Rockefeller,and Ford.
1:32 I see a weeb Easter egg.
Can we talk about the the painting on 1:40? What a masterpiece.
Taking corporate espionage to a whole new level
this is probably what i used to think “fascism” meant
Let's all take a moment :
Baron Hans Gunther Von Dincklage.
Makes me want to click my heels and do a slight bow at the waist (and adjust my monocle).
For some reason I hear James Cagney shouting, "SCHLEMMER !! ....Stop clicking your heels! And, you're back in the S.S. -- Smaller salary!"
"Hugo and I are like peas in a pod! We're both Factory Owners! We've both produced fine clothes for the Nazis, but mine were more fashionable, damm it!" - Coco Chanel
And what's the problem w/ that exactly? I just want to know.
@@rustym.shackelford5546 It's a Simpsons reference

I almost feel obligated to give a like everytime i watch one of his video’s, just so well put togheter etc... ❤️
I lived not so far from the social siege in Paris and when I learned that when I studied Chanel’s history at 11 yo i wanted to tag a big *ss nazi symbol on their wall but then i remembered that I was too much of a coward.
Wait till you guys hear about Hugo boss 😳😳😳
Mitsubishi would be an interesting business video. They have various divisions and go back to before WWII.
Love your content 😍❣️
Coco also popularized the skinhead, for the 1944 autumn/winter season, although she didn't sport the hairstyle herself.
She was consistent. And she loved beauty. And if you love beauty, you'd like the Nazi's since the Nazis cultivated aesthetics. Part of the appeal of Nazism is their sense of style, the Aryan art, and even in the uniforms of the soldiers.
Read my comments...
Hugo Boss was the designer / wartime supplier of Wehrmacht and Nazi Party uniforms, most notably the spiffy outfits of the infamous SS
So, in conclusion, "Co-coa" was a gold-digging, promiscuous user with a heart made of finest flint 😁
Why hasn't anyone made a movie about this??
the company will sue the director into oblivion for defimation
@@eldermoose7938 freedom of speech tho
@@eldermoose7938 It can't if it's true
1:35 wtf is an anime portrait doing in the background?????
this channel has the best graphics
The fact thatChanel is selling in Israel like crazy tho
No one :
Not a soul :
Me : Is that Felix from Rezero in painting on the wall at 1:40 . I guess she really was ahead of her time and saw the future
0:22 when you see the smoke in the cigarette animation.
1:40 are you using anime pictures because of copyright or because memes?
1:33 business casual stealthily snucking in anime cat girls
Don't be selective in who you criticize, what about Volkswagon and Fedinand Porsche?
I just put Coco aside and don't judge her. I just hate typical businessman. They have power and money , they abuse the creator. I know that how the world happen. But businessmen are greedy leeches, steal the idea and make money out of it with little share or nothing even mention the creator name. At brief, they try to take all and kick the creator out. Coco was still lucky.
It would be nice to make a video on Henry Ford. His anti-Semitism and his support for Nazism. The Ford and General Motor factories which operated in Germany during the war and which provided a lot of military vehicles to the Nazis!
I mean, she might be a gold digger, but that Pierre guy is not any better, taking 90% of the profits is hardly fair.
Watching this and “good for you” playing in my head
