"May my legend run its course, I wish it a good and long life," Coco Chanel said. She passed away on 10 January, 1971. The world paid its respects to the most influential woman of her century, but the great CHANEL book had yet to end. (Chanel Magazine)
Her name was Gabrielle Chanel, but her nickname was Coco or Mademoiselle. Her life was as beautiful and tumultuous as a novel, one about a little orphan with a fierce will who went through the 20th century revolutionizing the world of women. She called herself a dressmaker but what she created was far greater: a new vision for women that was at once liberating and daring, simple and infinitely modern.

ReplyDeleteYou know Kate, I think that all women owe a little partt of their independence to Coco Chanel. She was a warrior and I really admire her.
