She was a traitor of humanity with no doubt. The atrocities of WW2 cannot be so easily forgiven . It’s just another case where money, power and using sexuality to escape being held accountable for your behavior. Same old story what money can buy .A women very high in fashion talent, but very low in lovingness and a true understanding of empathy which is needed to have humanity .🙁
Chanel was such an amazing combination of good and evil. If you are born in a poor house and rise to the very top , there are undoubtedly some horrifying casualties. To have unbridled drive and ambition in those days was so unusual for a woman. In this interview she seemed so very angry. Everything she had and did and accomplished did not make her happy.
@@lapislazuli7876 "most" is a very bold claim there, bud. Some do, yes. Same with how some men dress nicer to attract women too. It's called peacocking. People, men or women, can just dress nicely to look more attractive to boost their own confidence and feel good about themselves without wanting to attract anyone's attention.
I met Madonna once and compared her to Gabrielle and she said that was the biggest compliment she ever got because she always admired her, because she succeeded when women needed men to succeed and yet the name remained hers and she remained mademoiselle. I also asked her what she thought of Karl and she said that she had no interest for him because he was using the name of someone else to get notoriety. She said that buying Chanel made by Karl Lagerfeld was not buying Chanel at all and thet Chanel died when Coco stopped making Chanel clothes. That's why Madonna mostly dresses from designers who run their own house under their own name, like Gaultier, Mcqueen, etc,... I thought that was a very smart comment. That's also why i refuse to buy anything which is not made by the person who bears the name on the label. It would be like buying a painting in the Picasso style but not made by picasso but just someone who decided he was going to be the new designer for picasso. This is ridiculous.

Each to their own...🤷🏻♂️ However...it seems daft to me. ● B/c it essentially means u need to live in the lifetime of any Designer whose clothes u want to wear. ● No Client can live THAT long, lol. ● Additionally...it means ur choosing labels purely b/c a founder is still in charge. As opposed to b/c a particular brand's style suits ur colouring, body-type etc. ● Then wot about things like 'Versace'. After Gianni's death...the brand became just "Versace". According to ur principle...that'd mean the brand is now 'outta bounds'. ● Even though it's the same brand. Just designed by his sister Donatella. ● Ur 'rule' would also apply to Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Ungaro, Escada, Ferragmo, Gian Franco-Ferre, Moschino, Bill Blass, Oscar de la Renta, Sonia Rykiel, Missoni, Laura Biagotti, Gucci - (Original Founder long dead), Fendi (Ditto), Pucci (Ditto), Valentino (Ditto - Namesake Designer retired from his brand), Calvin Klein (Ditto), Donna Karen (Ditto), Louis Vuittion, Roger Vivier, Charles Jourdan, Bruno Magli, Maud Frizon. Even brands like Cartier, Van Cleef Arpels, Most Men's Luxury watch brands. ● I'm sure u see the point I'm making...🤔 ● Otherwise I'm impressed @ how u manage 2 get dressed. Or wot u buy. (Within the Luxury apparel sector...😅😉)
I have two pieces from Chanel. The medium sized double flap bag and a brooch in crystals and pearls. Together they are worth 9,000. I don't use the bag anymore. The price goes up every 6 months by 12%. I'm keeping as an investment and will sell in another year. Her clothes are too small for me and are heavy tweed. Very hot here in TX.
@@olavwilhelm6843 my sentiment as well, it sounds like she is not yet secure with her money since she feels she’ll need to pawn her Chanel items in the future
The only reasons COCO did not get a VERY CLOSE haircut and perhaps jail time right after WWII: 1. She had some very "close friends" (protectors) in very high places and she knew their "dark secrets" (allegedly) and would "tell all" to save her own skin. 2. Her Brand was already well known throughout the fashion world and post-war France was desperate for some good economic news and "to get the economy moving again." (sound familiar?). So it was expedient to put on a happy face and let bygones be bygones .
That documentary was really fabulous. It’s so old now but thank goodness we were able to actually see her grand niece Gabrielle Brunie speak. That is all primary source material which would not be available today. It gives real insight to hear her niece speak as she was there with her when she was very old and dying. Chanel could be mean and judgmental but I also suspect that there was another really wonderful, fun, funny and sociable side to her where if she liked you, she would be a fabulous friend. I like the way she spontaneously lunges forward at the journalist at the end and has a laugh with him grabbing his arms. She had a great deal of pent up transgenerational trauma that was a result of her abandonment in childhood, her convent years and all her struggles to survive as a woman at the turn of the century. Her story was truly one which many women went through at the time: trying to survive in a man’s world using their feminine wiles and battling all the way. I think it’s very difficult for people to forgive her for her affair with Schellenburg, and that would certainly form part of her anger towards the world in that interview - but at the same time - it doesn’t diminish the great body of her work and achievements. Many famous people and creatives have made huge mistakes like that, and paid dearly. I think Chanel also paid a huge price personally and mentally for her transgressions with the German high command and people need to also practice forgiveness. You can see in some of those interviews that she seemed almost drugged up or reacting like someone who took prescription drugs or painkillers or narcotics. She’s rather shaky, jerky and belligerent when she talks, which is a sign of a drug-taker. She was taking morphine when she was old to help her sleep but I imagine there may have been other drugs she took to assist her to just get by each day. These days they would be mood-altering drugs but who knows what she was on back in the 60s?
since that dated doc we now know how much she hated Jews , what she did during WW2 with the Germans , especially sleeping as usual with a powerful man , this time a German officer to buy out the Jewish family who still owns Chanel , acting has a German spies trying to fool Churchill , and how much trouble she was after the war for the shitty shit she did .... she was no saint ...
She died alone but has millions of soldiers behind her, not just kids and a husband. She is more loved and admired than a mother and a wife. Rest In Peace, beautiful. You made your choice and it’s ok.

I love her perfumes.especially Coco Chanel mademoiselle.plus she has a new one Coco Noir.I FRIST bought her perfume 18 yrs ago.its expensive.I but it said am worth it.
Delia Rodriquez At the age of 16 I bought my first bottle of Chanel no.5 and now over 45 years later and a Collector of her perfumes I now venture into the exquisite and very expensive perfumes and omg, the bouquet of smells, awesome!
She was a traitor of humanity no doubt. The atrocities of WW2 cannot be so easily forgiven . Money ,power, and using sexuality is what allowed her to escape any punishment for her behaviors. It’s the same old story WHAT MONEY CAN BUY ! Yes she had very high talent as a fashion designer, but very low to have lovingness and a sense of right and wrong . She possessed no talent for humanity .🙁
She was a virulent Jew-hater. She collaborated with the Nazis. She slept with an SS officer. Before the Free French could shave her hair and put her in prison, she excsped to neutral Lausanne, Switzerland. She also worked as a spy for the Nazis. But the worst thing was that after she sold her Chanel No. 5 to Wertheimer who was a French Jew and he made money off the perfume, the witch wanted it back and she tried to get him sent to his death at Auchewitz. It didn't work because Wertheimer gave Chanel No. 5 to a Christian to hold until hopefully WW 2 ended. READ "SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY" AND YOU'LL SEE ALL.
I think Wertheimer escaped to the United Staes before the Nazi occupation of France, so there was no danger of Auschwitz or any other concentration camp for him. Nor did Chanel try to have him sent there, according to my reading. Chanel did try to leverage the Nazi occupation, and the fact the Wertheimers were Jews, to have her Parfums Chanel interests returned to her, however. I don't know if or to what degree she was antisemitic otherwise. She did initially do business with them in the 1920's.
There's nothing sad about Chanel. She created a brand that is legendary and one of the most expensive. There are many life lessons I take from her that I apply to my own life: 1) Persue your dream. 2) Reach for the stars. 3) Excellence. 4) Discipline. 5) Strong work ethic. 6) Be true to yourself. Incredible, wealthy woman who revolutionized women's fashion. ❤
Coco Chanel may have liberated the woman’s body but she never understood that women were not just bodies and that they now were fighting for much more important changes! In fact, she hated her own gender and was not at all a progressist.
Let's talk about her Nazi collaborator past! How she tried to send Wertheim to Achewitz. How she was a rabid Anti-Semite. How she fu*kd with top Nazi SS. How she barely escaped prison by fleeing to Lausanne Switzerland. All that is swept under the rug
That is a rather harsh judgement about a woman you are reviewing in history. I don't imagine she was a soft, comfortable woman. She was someone who survived rejection from every corner of life. Not good enough to remain with the family & being disposed of like trash. Having siblings that tore her apart bcos of her birth -- & who later extorted her for money. Growing up a second class status person in that school too. Probably surrounded by blue-blooded elite baggage who felt even more superior by putting her down. In fact, she experienced that rejection scenario over again & again. Also by lovers who died or eventually moved on to more pedigreed women. Also by ladies in that realm who might've admired her style & flair (perhaps even her popularity), but also despised her for not being one of them as well as going this non-traditional route. She posed a big risk to their way of life. I can understand how all that could've developed a core of iron in her. There might've existed a great rage & unforgiveness over the injustices of society & the poor hand she was dealt. It could be tricky for such a person who was not coddled & protected to have compassion & understanding for others. It doesn't mean she did not have any tenderness or capacity for caring. Her brief success with entertainment (over the Coco song number) clearly proved she possessed a stage presence of some sort. That confidence, charisma, smarts & humor likely paved the way to those higher & higher aristrocratic social circles that would've been denied to her otherwise. People can be so self- righteous about ambition. Men driven to accomplish something are admired while women are scorned. Wretched double standard. It is also 100% acceptable for men to despoil women for their own convenience & pleasure, but people still find it reprehensible for those women to find any enjoyment or advancement in that exploitation. In society, the truth is some women are put on a pedestal & protected while others are thrown to the wolves to fend for themselves. It is rather unfair to be harsh & judgemental when such a woman manages to make a better life out of that. Coco Chanel charmed & clawed her way up from the lowest rings of poverty in a wholly patriarchal & almost feudal system where birthright was key. Most cannot fully understand that rigid society today. As the other gentleman noted, Chanel upset the status quo in the fashion industry too. She fought against male designer driven dictates to find styles that wholly flattered women while giving them more flexibility & freedom for how they lived. She proved that a woman does better understand that sensibility. Her unique style stood out for the times, and ultimately drove her fashion aesthetic. Choosing aristrocratic, powerful &/or wealthy lovers helped improve her status & understanding of that world. It does not mean she didn't experience some true affection &/or passion along the way. Never being chosen by the "right" man as wife can leave a deep scar on some women's esteem. No matter your wealth or acclaim, that is rejection that not all women can easily overcome. In the end, surviving & even thriving against great odds ought to be something we appreciate (if not admire). As to Chanel's ultimate salvation, that is a matter between her & God. (Having a Nazi lover doesn't make her one.) Besides, there are pious people that appear to do all the right things in life, including good works. Underneath that law-abiding & friendly facade, they can still have discord & hate in their heart. Some things are only known to God. ☮Peace 💛Love 🌼Beauty
I think that what elevates humans is not where they came from, although if people wish to work in fashion, it helps if they're born into money and prestige. The industry started out as an elitist circle, and unlike today where vloggers, and influencers sometimes get to secure a front row seat, fashions were traditionally shown only to the rich who could actually afford it and a ton of journalists to cover it. People like Chanel capitalized on their talent, and some, on their intellect, and generally, educated or well-bred people, regardless of their social standing often standout among those who aren't. Perceptions aren't something you can control, and I don't think it's anyone's responsibility explaining why you are who you are, and why you're so different from other people because those who know you would automatically understand, while those who don't will likely judge you. I didn't grow up in an orphanage like Chanel, but I had a very working class upbringing that focused on education, morals and core values in a country that no one truly cares that much about, the Philippines. Despite that, it never crossed my mind to be ashamed of both my Filipino and Chinese heritage.
BBC2 repeated the newer documentary 'Coco Chanel: Unbuttoned' and there's an additional theory that her adored nephew, Andre Palasse (who some speculate could actually have been her son!) was a prisoner of war. And that may be why she made those Nazi connections, in desperation, to save him (he managed to be set free). Of course, some also pooh-pooh the notion of Mme Chanel being a member of the French resistance and suggest this is newer misinformation to cleanse her bad reputation. I have no idea, but these two points are worth considering.
Love her or hate her, she made the name of the Father who betrayed her one of the most famous in the world. An eternal Fashion Icon. The bitter naysayers posting here can go suck an egg.
WHEN OBSERVING AND ANALYZING THE CAN-CAN DANCERS, COCO CHANEL REALIZED THAT WOMEN DEMANDED TO MOVE TO CREATE, WHICH HAD A DETERMINING INFLUENCE ON HER WOMEN'S FASHION REVOLUTION, WHICH I TALK ABOUT IN A VIDEO OF MY CHANNEL.
Dacă aș fi avut șansa să îi iau un interviu lui Coco Chanel vreodată, aș fi intrebat-o următorul lucru:Cum este madame Coco Chanel să spionezi pentru naziștii din SS? V-ați simțit bine să turnați la Gestapo oameni din rezistența franceza?Ce va determinat madame Chanel să vă puneți viața și banii în slujba SS, în timp ce francezii erau persecutați de amanții dumneavoastră din SS?De ce ați spus Madame Coco Chanel că este o crimă, să ai măcar o picătură de sânge evreiesc?Nimeni nu ia pus probabil întrebările astea acestei mare adoratoare de SS și Hitler, numita Coco Chanel!
“ A woman who isn’t loved its lost -dead “ - she was speaking of herself she wasn’t a happy woman she wanted to take her fashion far and she did anything to achieve that it seems she wasn’t necessarily against jews -unfortunately it just happend to live in those horiblle times unfortunately - if I am wrong please correct me Have a blessed day
Christine La Chance I don’t believe she was ANTISEMITIC There were transitional times just like we live today She might have done few wrong things but not necessarily antisemitic She wound have done it to any other culture to save her empire Similar things were being done in the past and present by manyyyy other people Human nature 😢
She was a Nazi sympathiser ,and a virulent rascist !!!..regardless of whatever her contribution to fashion was ..its all negated by her ruthless lack of morals to advance her own cause ..at the expence of others ...and that included loss of life of others during the war years ... Im not a bitter naysayer ...just a realist giving the honest historical truths .. And if anyone doesnt like to hear those truths (Nancy N) ..then i have something else , other than an egg ,for you to suck on !!
All of the perfumes made in her lifetime were intended to cover the smell of cigarette smoke. Before they were all watered down and repeatedly reformulated, they did cover the smoke smell.
She was always about herself .... and in the end when she left this world thats all there was for her.... for all her notoriety her successes her money she had willingly exiled herself to an emotionally bankrupt pauper.... for where your treasures are there also is your heart...

Despite being a fashion icon and industry, Chanel was always that poor child looking for someone to love her. How sad!
Coco Chanel a fost o mare admiratoare organizației criminale SS;
The only reasons COCO did not get a VERY CLOSE haircut and perhaps jail time right after WWII:

Ask about her selling Chanel 5 to a Jew and then once it started making money, she tried sending him to Achewitz.
French imo is a beautiful language. Chanel was a complicated person. Her logo is iconic.
Love her costume jewelry.

She collaborated with the Nazis.

But the worst thing was that after she sold her Chanel No. 5 to Wertheimer who was a French Jew and he made money off the perfume, the witch wanted it back and she tried to get him sent to his death at Auchewitz.

I don't know if or to what degree she was antisemitic otherwise. She did initially do business with them in the 1920's.
Love and respect her forever 😍❤💋
except she was an avid nazi ally and raging anti semite
Have you heard of this guy David Duke? I think you might like him too if you like Chanel.
@@jessicavasylchenko2608 Coco Chanel it was a great rubbish and Bitch! A great admirer of phallus nazis SS!
Coco knows best
if a woman isnt love shes lost.. might as well be dead . full stop. amazing!!!! - coco
There's nothing sad about Chanel. She created a brand that is legendary and one of the most expensive. There are many life lessons I take from her that I apply to my own life:
1) Persue your dream.
2) Reach for the stars.
3) Excellence.
4) Discipline.
5) Strong work ethic.
6) Be true to yourself.
Incredible, wealthy woman who revolutionized women's fashion. ❤
Thank you
Coco Chanel may have liberated the woman’s body but she never understood that women were not just bodies and that they now were fighting for much more important changes!
In fact, she hated her own gender and was not at all a progressist.
@Valerie Mac Fair Sorry about those sad memories of your grandmother.
Does anyone know it the narrator is actress Susana York?
Yes, it is.
Toujours d'actualité, au-delà de toutes les conventions.
Pour moi, elle était la plus grande styliste avec Elsa Schiapparelli.
Let's talk about her Nazi collaborator past!
How she tried to send Wertheim to Achewitz.
How she was a rabid Anti-Semite.
How she fu*kd with top Nazi SS.
How she barely escaped prison by fleeing to Lausanne Switzerland.
All that is swept under the rug
A great innovative lady!
A horrible dragon! Shocked that she looked and sounded like a chain smoking bar fly.
And her good friend Wallace Simpson
Stephen Murphy she was a nazi...
That is a rather harsh judgement about a woman you are reviewing in history.
I don't imagine she was a soft, comfortable woman. She was someone who survived rejection from every corner of life. Not good enough to remain with the family & being disposed of like trash. Having siblings that tore her apart bcos of her birth -- & who later extorted her for money.
Growing up a second class status person in that school too. Probably surrounded by blue-blooded elite baggage who felt even more superior by putting her down.
In fact, she experienced that rejection scenario over again & again. Also by lovers who died or eventually moved on to more pedigreed women. Also by ladies in that realm who might've admired her style & flair (perhaps even her popularity), but also despised her for not being one of them as well as going this non-traditional route. She posed a big risk to their way of life.
I can understand how all that could've developed a core of iron in her. There might've existed a great rage & unforgiveness over the injustices of society & the poor hand she was dealt. It could be tricky for such a person who was not coddled & protected to have compassion & understanding for others.
It doesn't mean she did not have any tenderness or capacity for caring.
Her brief success with entertainment (over the Coco song number) clearly proved she possessed a stage presence of some sort. That confidence, charisma, smarts & humor likely paved the way to those higher & higher aristrocratic social circles that would've been denied to her otherwise.
People can be so self- righteous about ambition. Men driven to accomplish something are admired while women are scorned. Wretched double standard. It is also 100% acceptable for men to despoil women for their own convenience & pleasure, but people still find it reprehensible for those women to find any enjoyment or advancement in that exploitation.
In society, the truth is some women are put on a pedestal & protected while others are thrown to the wolves to fend for themselves. It is rather unfair to be harsh & judgemental when such a woman manages to make a better life out of that.
Coco Chanel charmed & clawed her way up from the lowest rings of poverty in a wholly patriarchal & almost feudal system where birthright was key. Most cannot fully understand that rigid society today.
As the other gentleman noted, Chanel upset the status quo in the fashion industry too. She fought against male designer driven dictates to find styles that wholly flattered women while giving them more flexibility & freedom for how they lived. She proved that a woman does better understand that sensibility. Her unique style stood out for the times, and ultimately drove her fashion aesthetic.
Choosing aristrocratic, powerful &/or wealthy lovers helped improve her status & understanding of that world. It does not mean she didn't experience some true affection &/or passion along the way. Never being chosen by the "right" man as wife can leave a deep scar on some women's esteem. No matter your wealth or acclaim, that is rejection that not all women can easily overcome.
In the end, surviving & even thriving against great odds ought to be something we appreciate (if not admire).
As to Chanel's ultimate salvation, that is a matter between her & God. (Having a Nazi lover doesn't make her one.) Besides, there are pious people that appear to do all the right things in life, including good works. Underneath that law-abiding & friendly facade, they can still have discord & hate in their heart. Some things are only known to God.
☮Peace 💛Love 🌼Beauty
@@teresacarle294 BRAVO !!
@Susan Kelly Absolutely incorrect; her closest friends were gays since the '20s. Besides, she was bisexual herself.
The Nazi harbouress who hated gays XD
I really love that Karl inherited her empire and effectively vulgarized it beyond reproach.
SMH
It’s owned by a Jewish family too. It’s a great ending to the Chanel story.
I think that what elevates humans is not where they came from, although if people wish to work in fashion, it helps if they're born into money and prestige. The industry started out as an elitist circle, and unlike today where vloggers, and influencers sometimes get to secure a front row seat, fashions were traditionally shown only to the rich who could actually afford it and a ton of journalists to cover it. People like Chanel capitalized on their talent, and some, on their intellect, and generally, educated or well-bred people, regardless of their social standing often standout among those who aren't. Perceptions aren't something you can control, and I don't think it's anyone's responsibility explaining why you are who you are, and why you're so different from other people because those who know you would automatically understand, while those who don't will likely judge you. I didn't grow up in an orphanage like Chanel, but I had a very working class upbringing that focused on education, morals and core values in a country that no one truly cares that much about, the Philippines. Despite that, it never crossed my mind to be ashamed of both my Filipino and Chinese heritage.
BBC2 repeated the newer documentary 'Coco Chanel: Unbuttoned' and there's an additional theory that her adored nephew, Andre Palasse (who some speculate could actually have been her son!) was a prisoner of war. And that may be why she made those Nazi connections, in desperation, to save him (he managed to be set free).
Of course, some also pooh-pooh the notion of Mme Chanel being a member of the French resistance and suggest this is newer misinformation to cleanse her bad reputation.
I have no idea, but these two points are worth considering.
Love her or hate her, she made the name of the Father who betrayed her one of the most famous in the world. An eternal Fashion Icon.
The bitter naysayers posting here can go suck an egg.
Well sometimes actions help us stay far away. Money is not ALWAYS necessary.
WHEN OBSERVING AND ANALYZING THE CAN-CAN DANCERS, COCO CHANEL REALIZED THAT WOMEN DEMANDED TO MOVE TO CREATE, WHICH HAD A DETERMINING INFLUENCE ON HER WOMEN'S FASHION REVOLUTION, WHICH I TALK ABOUT IN A VIDEO OF MY CHANNEL.
Dacă aș fi avut șansa să îi iau un interviu lui Coco Chanel vreodată, aș fi intrebat-o următorul lucru:Cum este madame Coco Chanel să spionezi pentru naziștii din SS? V-ați simțit bine să turnați la Gestapo oameni din rezistența franceza?Ce va determinat madame Chanel să vă puneți viața și banii în slujba SS, în timp ce francezii erau persecutați de amanții dumneavoastră din SS?De ce ați spus Madame Coco Chanel că este o crimă, să ai măcar o picătură de sânge evreiesc?Nimeni nu ia pus probabil întrebările astea acestei mare adoratoare de SS și Hitler, numita Coco Chanel!
A mon avis, vous fabulez complètement sur l' histoire de chanel qui aurait été haineuse des juifs...
Horrid women a friend of the Nazi's and a Nazi collaborator she went straight to hell ..
No one talks about Mischa her crazy friend !
It’s Misia
Not Mischa
@@lapislazuli7876 Thanks !
“ A woman who isn’t loved its lost -dead “ - she was speaking of herself she wasn’t a happy woman she wanted to take her fashion far and she did anything to achieve that it seems she wasn’t necessarily against jews -unfortunately it just
happend to live in those horiblle times unfortunately - if I am wrong please correct me Have a blessed day
Teodora Coman ...Coco Chanel was extremely anti Semitic and so was Westminster!
Christine La Chance I don’t believe she was ANTISEMITIC
There were transitional times just like we live today
She might have done few wrong things but not necessarily antisemitic
She wound have done it to any other culture to save her empire
Similar things were being done in the past and present by manyyyy other people
Human nature 😢
Teodora Coman ...You may “not believe” that Coco Chanel was anti Semitic but the facts prove she was!
Coco Chanel CRUELLA!
Muy buena biografía
de niña💗💫
*This has been Censored !*
HER NAME SASSY!!!
I’m so gone off Chanel now , horrible woman .
Deborah Craven why?
Stephen Murphy she is not historical
Impresionante woman para aquella epoque
Chanel it was Satan! A great admirer of phallus nazis SS!
She was a Nazi sympathiser ,and a virulent rascist !!!..regardless of whatever her contribution to fashion was ..its all negated by her ruthless lack of morals to advance her own cause ..at the expence of others ...and that included loss of life of others during the war years ...
Im not a bitter naysayer ...just a realist giving the honest historical truths ..
And if anyone doesnt like to hear those truths (Nancy N) ..then i have something else , other than an egg ,for you to suck on !!
She loooks likes sheeee smelllls sooo baddd like omg
All of the perfumes made in her lifetime were intended to cover the smell of cigarette smoke. Before they were all watered down and repeatedly reformulated, they did cover the smoke smell.
You must be blind. She took daily baths in big luxurios tubs and used the finest finest/nicest smelling products still on sale today.
She was a Nazi and her clothing should be burned ❌❌❌
❤️😘
oh oh coco qui qu'a vu coco dans le Trocadéro..
Does anyone know why she didn't get into men fashion too?
She was inspired by male fashion to create comfortable yet elegant female fashion. The male designers had women in constricting corsets.
Why are people praising a Nazi sympathizer?
@Valerie Mac Fair the homeless, the sick, the elderly, the poor. This coco never did
Coco Chanel it was The plague of the 20th century! It was a deadly virus!
Fiera Carmen Are u kidding she was a pioneer
She was always about herself .... and in the end when she left this world thats all there was for her.... for all her notoriety her successes her money she had willingly exiled herself to an emotionally bankrupt pauper.... for where your treasures are there also is your heart...
