Coco, with her consistent simple and natural women's clothing style, quickly captured many Parisian ladies again. The following are the classic quotes about Coco Chanel that I carefully compiled for you. I hope you like them.
Selection of Coco Chanel’s classic quotes:
1. Simplicity does not mean walking barefoot or wearing wooden shoes. Simplicity comes from the spirit. It should be Born from the heart.
2. Fashion is a technology, a profession, and a business.
3. Money may be an evil thing, but doesn’t our civilization also derive from a concept based on evil? There would be no religion without original sin. Precisely because money is an evil thing, it should be squandered.
4. The novel records important laws that are not written elsewhere, and these laws often govern human beings.
5. All novels are just true stories about dreams making clothes. When I was very young, I instinctively read lists of people as if they were novels, and novels were nothing more than lists of people on a larger scale.
6. Inferior novels usually know how to portray society better than classics.
7. Books were my best friends. The radio is a box of lies, but every book is a treasure. The worst books will also tell you some truth, some truth. The worst novels are also monuments to human experience.
8. I don’t like others to make my disorderly life or thoughts orderly. Order is a subjective phenomenon. I also don't like to listen to advice, not because I'm stubborn, but because I'm too easily influenced by others.
9. I make skirts for a living. I could have done other things as well. It's just an accident. It's not the dress I like, it's the work.
10. We can see everything in women.
11. Misia is neither good nor evil. This is a major weakness of human nature, but it is also a force of nature.
12. I only cherish some stupid things or useless things, because the poetry is hidden in these things. All our misfortunes, emotional, social and moral, stem from our unwillingness to give up anything.
13. Cloth woven from precious materials cannot make a woman look richer, and gorgeous gems are no more effective than this cloth.
14. A woman = jealousy + vanity + need to talk + confused thoughts.
15. A woman who is too good will always bore men.
16. I never like women. I have no friendship whatsoever with them. (They won’t understand the meaning of this sentence.) And in France, friendship is an incredible thing.
17. When talking about fashion, you should be full of enthusiasm, not fanaticism, let alone poetic or literary. A dress is neither a tragedy nor a painting. It is a charming and fleeting creation rather than a timeless work of art. Fashion should die, and die quickly, so that business can survive.
18. I have been creating fashion for a quarter of a century. Why? Because I know how to express my time.
19. I invented sportswear for myself; not because other women wanted to exercise, but because I wanted to exercise.
20. I don’t go out to socialize because I need to create fashion, and I create fashion just because I want to go out, just because I am the first woman to enjoy the life of this century.
21. Fashion is not an art, it is a profession.
22. It is best to conform to fashion, even if the fashion is ugly. If you stay away from fashion, you will immediately become a ridiculous figure, which is even more terrifying. No one is powerful enough to transcend fashion.
23. A woman who is too beautiful will make other women unhappy, while a woman who is too ugly will make men sad.
24. Men like to go out with well-dressed women rather than bright-colored women.
25. In order to show impoliteness in an elegant way, you first need to be well-educated.
26. I have never been a heroine. But I chose who I wanted to be, and I am now. So what if I'm not loved or lovable.
27. I am neither smart nor stupid, but I feel that I am not an ordinary person. In France, everyone is unique.
28. I take everything seriously.
I treat everything sincerely
Coco Chanel character experience:
Growth experience
In 1883, Gabrielle Chanel was born in Saumur, France. Her mother grew up in a poor family. She worked in the hospital and gave birth to her there. (But Chanel claimed that she was born in 1893 and her birthplace was Auvergne, a mountainous area in southern France). She was the second child of a poor unmarried couple in France. Her father was a grocery hawker from the Severn Mountains, and her mother was a shepherd girl from the Auvergne Mountains. In fact, there have always been different opinions about the legends about her life experience. In addition, Chanel tried her best to avoid and cover up her life until her death, which made her life experience even more mysterious.
In 1889, her mother passed away when she was six years old, and her father left her and four brothers and sisters behind. She was raised by her aunt and attended the Convent School as a child, where she learned needlework skills.
The road to fame

During this period of her career as a showgirl, Coco made friends with two regular customers and became their lovers and confidants. One was a British industrialist and the other was a wealthy military officer.
In 1910, Coco opened a millinery shop in Paris. With her extraordinary needlework skills, she sewed simple and attractive hats one after another. Two of her confidants introduced her to many celebrity guests. At that time, women were tired of fancy trimmings, so Chanel's simple and comfortable hats were as refreshing as an oasis for them.
In 1911, within just one year, business was increasing steadily. Coco moved her store to the more fashionable Rue Cambon (Cambon District), which is still the headquarters of Chanel today. base area. Making hats could never satisfy Coco's ambition for a fashion career, so she entered the field of Haute Couture.
In 1914, Coco Chanel opened two fashion stores, and the fashion brand "Chanel", which had a profound influence on future generations, was officially born.
In the 1920s, Chanel designed many innovative styles, such as the tricot sailor dress, the little black dress, the bottle collar suit, etc. Moreover, Coco draws inspiration from men's clothing to add a more masculine flavor to women's clothing. In the 1920s, women would only wear skirts. She also changed the trend of excessively colorful women's clothing at that time. For example, she added blazers to the women's clothing series and launched women's trousers.
In 1921, Chanel also launched Chanel No. 5 perfume, with actress Nicole Kidman (Nicole K) as the spokesperson. Chanel No. 5 was the first bottle of perfume named after a designer. The "double C" logo also makes this bottle of perfume the most profitable product in Chanel's history, and it has endured for a long time in Hengyuan's time corridor. It is still a key product on Chanel's official website.
In the 1930s and 1940s, when World War II broke out, Coco Chanel closed her shop and fled to Switzerland with the Nazi officer she fell in love with.
Return to the industry
In 1954, Coco returned to France and was determined to make a comeback. With her consistent simple and natural women's clothing style, she quickly captured a group of Parisian ladies. Pea coats, bell-bottom pants, etc. are all works of Coco Chanel in the post-war period. Or just say that post-war Chanel style has always been simple and elegant, often using Tartan plaid or Nordic geometric prints, camellias, and often using tweed to make clothes, which are comfortable and natural.
On January 10, 1971, she died in her room at the Ritz Hotel in Paris at the age of 88. Throughout his life, he interpreted the Chanel spirit of meticulousness, luxury, and never-ending popularity. Her tombstone is carved with five stone lion heads. Chanel's design studio in Paris, now under the management of Karl Lagerfeld, is still the top studio in the fashion industry today.
Spirit of inheritance
In 1983, after Chanel's death, the Chanel Group was succeeded by the design genius Karl Lagerfeld as fashion director, pushing Chanel's fashion to another peak, but so far, new products every season Still based on the Chanel spirit as the design concept. Karl Lagerfeld has a free, arbitrary and relaxed design mentality and is the most famous representative of modern fashion directors. He always uncannily unifies two opposing artistic feelings in his designs, which are both unrestrained and dignified, with both French romance and humor and German rigor and refinement. He does not have the same styling lines and preferred colors, but the pure style of "Chanel" can be appreciated from his designs from beginning to end.
On December 3, 2014, the British "Mirror" pointed out that the latest evidence confirmed that Coco Chanel was a Nazi spy who fell in love with a senior Gestapo officer and tried to persuade Britain to end the war. . It is reported that the Nazis chose her to negotiate with the British because she was a friend of the then British Prime Minister Churchill. After the war, Chanel was investigated by the French authorities, and it was this friendship that saved her from certain fate.
