The Orphaned Girl Who Invented Chanel
Coco Chanel Founder, Coco Chanel Story
With a revenue of more than 12 billion dollars a year, #Chanel is one of the best known and most highly sought-after luxury fashion brands. Over the years, their iconic bags have become a fashion statement that signifies opulence, elegance, and class. But how many of us know of the founder’s unusual life story?
A true visionary, #CocoChanel was ahead of her time, and her ideas were unconventional, to say the least. The trials of her grim childhood as an orphan gave birth to an extraordinary character. She ruled Parisian haute couture for almost six decades. And she symbolized a true before and after, not only in the way people saw fashion, but also in how they saw women. This is her story.

Chanel was born on the same date as I. At 55 I opened a design studio. Her lesson to me is that it’s never too late.
That's a great lesson. Thanks for watching!
love it!
Waw❤!

Always admired this remarkable woman and her almost incomprehensible triumphs over adversity but never really had / knew anyone to discuss it with...💖
I am amazed that her name brand was a success by the time she decided to develope Chanel 5 and she signed a contract that was below her name brand ; that she had supportive & influential people around her & that she didn't seek legal council before signing away the most lucrative & easy venture to 2 hungry investors was unbelievable !! 😳
What a flexible and adaptable survivor in every way
I love Coco Chanel I seen the movie I don't know how many times I just love it she was a very smart intelligent woman she was gifted for style and perfumes
This story was really inspiring. 😍 I loved it and the one about Dior too!
My favorite house now and forever! The eternal Chanel!
I always felt happy when Isaw one of her suits. On special occasions my mother wore Chanel #5 so I were it the past few monthts to honor my Mother! I were some of her parfume everday to honor Moms classic style and bold personality!
Last week saw the. Beautiful film about her life Remarkable woman who spends most of life to achieve its goals
An interesting success story, with highs and lows along the way. My favourite and preferred Chanel Perfume is COCO, I just love the smell, it’s a perfume I can’t go without.
Coco Chanel and I have that in common.. I was too an orphan by my father he abandoned me in the streets of Colombia Bogota South America.. with my sister and my three brothers after our mother died...😓😢😥😮💨
I'm so sorry mama 😔
@@miriamapple4558 😓❤️
I am terribly sorry that you and your siblings had to endure such trauma.
I hope you too came out stronger for it ❤
Very beautiful and creative
Beauty & strong woman
great work

Coco Chanel was a brilliant provocative designer ahead of her time. She was quite the opportunist and her behaviour during the war left much to be desired.
Thank you very much please do a video about Disneyland and it's storie

I think the photos of her younger are actually photos of Audrey Hepburn. If my findings are correct, please edit your video.
No they are all Chanel herself which ones are you referring to?
@@I_am_gids I apologize for calling you out but I thought it's better to know than not -- especially if a member of her family sees the video.
@@I_am_gids Another Subscriber in this post mentioned the same error with timecodes.
Actually they used Famous Mexican painter Frida Kahlo’s pictures when she was a child.
Am fun of her fashion industry presentation
Nice video just I recommend you to check the pictures, you used Frida Kahlo’s pictures when she was a girl.
Did anyone liked the first melody "old song" in the beginning of the video ?
❤️ i love her beliefs
She was a true trailblazer indeed. I'm happy that you enjoyed the video! Cheers! :)
Why didn't Coco Chanel write a will to her family??what happend to her 4 other siblings??did they die before her🤔🤔🤔😎...it's sad how u struggle with for all those years for your empire to be taken by another family when you die...
Exactly
She was friends with some, but not with others. I wonder did she ever have a secret child.........
Bonheur doesn’t mean luck, it means happiness in french. Chance = luck.
Well, it means good fortune, pleasure, joy AND happiness.
There’s odd about her story… like something is missing. I’m so glad I came across this video.
He left out some stuff
Didn't you offer a course to teach video editing
Hi. Im your 247th subscriber
Thank you so much! If you have any future topics in mind you'd like to see on the channel just let me know :) We're working around the clock to provide you the highest quality. Cheers!
Never too late you just have to start
So wonderfully forgiving and antiseptic I had to stop watching after 3/4 in.
🙏
1.58 Its that Audrey Hepburn childhood's
10:48
Arts soon
0:54 and 1:59 2:29 thats audrey hepburn as a child .please reedit your video
Thank You! I mentioned the error too. I am not sure the Admin believe us. I tried to upload proof but couldn't. It's unfortunate now I am hesitant to believe other videos.
Sorry but, Bonheur in french mean happyness not Luck.
0:53 That’s Audrey Hepburn not Coco Chanel
This is just a clickbait channel really. Like how they say "haute" is insane lol
i wish coco chanel would of had kids at the time to keep it a family business and not let it land to some strangers if she would had a kid son/daughther I think they would been successful and also kept passing the family business to different generations that's why I think that channel now day is not the same old classy fancy chanel
Or prolly adopted and thought the child.
Many Jewish ladies still avoid Chanel because of her war time Nazi involvement
It wasn't just war time, she was still in a relationship with Nazi Hans Günther von Dincklage until the mid 1950s.
Are you serious, what was she doing during the 2nd world war? Who was she working for during WW2? Year real charming.
Why was she not jailed?
Random Audrey Hepburn
it is said that the pink tweed jacket that jackie kennedy wore is fake ‘cause she be wearing too much parisian products 🤣
Wethheimer cattle company?
She was a Nazi sympathiser and rabid anti semite, she didn't just have an affair with a Nazi soldier, she had a relationship until well after the war into the mid 1950s with Hans Günther von Dincklage, and also supported other SS officers financially who were actually convicted at the Nuremberg trials. But hey, she's such a wonderful woman.
She also had a very petty, never ending feud with Elsa Schiapparelli. An other brilliant designer...
Oh so this is why they said nothing could be worse than coko chanel in the Hugo boss video
But I would be happier if her children were the ones who were controlling this giant brand. It's like her struggle and success just vanished.
Yeah; The usual story. Starving child builds muli billion dollar business. B.S.? Ya got that right.
So they were wearing chanell Jersey's in Harry Potter Dame 🤣
