I have never been to idolization, but I really admire a woman who once said: I have never been a heroine. But I chose the person I want to be, and now I am the person I want to be. Even if I am unloved and unlovable, what can I do? She is the famous Chanel.
1883, Gabrielle Chanel was born in somir, France. Her mother worked in a poor house and gave birth to her. (But Chanel claims that she was born in 1893, and was born in Overwien, a mountainous area in southern France). She is the second child of a poor unmarried couple in France. Her father is a grocer in Cewenshan, and her mother is a herdsman in Cewenshan mountain area. In fact, there are always different opinions about her life story, and Chanel tried to avoid and cover it up until her death, which made her birth more foggy.
1889, her mother died when she was six years old, and her father left her and four brothers and sisters. From then on, she was brought up by her menstrual cycle and entered a monastery school in her childhood, where she learned a needlework.
1905, at the age of 22, she became a "cafe singer", took the stage name "Coco" and sang in different karaoke bars and cafes for a living. During this singer's career, Coco made two frequent visitors and became their confidants, one was a British industrialist and the other was a rich military officer.
19 10 year, Coco opened a milliner's shop in Paris, and with excellent sewing technology, she sewed one hat after another with simple and attractive styles. Two of her close friends introduced her to many famous guests. At that time, ladies were tired of fancy decorations, so Chanel's simple and comfortable hat was as cool as a fountain to them.
19 1 1 year. In a short period of one year, the business grew bigger and bigger. Coco moved the store to Cambon Block, which is still the base of Chanel's headquarters. Making hats can never satisfy Coco's ambition for fashion, so she entered the field of haute couture.
19 14, coco Chanel opened two fashion stores, and the fashion brand "Chanel" which had a far-reaching influence on later generations was officially born.
In the 1920s, Chanel designed many innovative styles, such as warp-knitted sailor skirt, little black skirt and stand-up pullover. Moreover, Coco draws inspiration from men's wear and adds a little masculine flavor to women's wear. In the 1920s, women only wore skirts. She changed the glamorous fashion of women's wear in those days, such as adding a suit jacket to the women's wear collection and launching women's trousers.
What happened later influenced Chanel's life. She has a very good lover named Cabo, and they love each other very much.
19 18 Christmas is coming. Cabo can't spend Christmas with Chanel because of his work. This is the first time since they met. On Christmas Eve, Chanel stayed at home alone, without Cabo. At this time, Cabo from other places also missed Chanel very much. He remembers that a few years ago, Chanel took a carriage for two days and two nights to pursue her own actions. He immediately decided to rush back to Paris in the heavy snow to surprise Chanel.
Cobb was eager to return, driving crazily on Christmas Eve, trying to appear in front of Chanel when she opened her eyes the next morning. When Cobb finally arrived in Paris, it was almost dawn. It suddenly occurred to him that he didn't prepare any gifts for Chanel, so he turned around and searched the streets of Paris for suitable gifts. But at this time, almost all the shops are closed. Cobb was worried. Suddenly, he remembered that he had a friend of a jeweler, so he knocked on his friend's door at dawn without hesitation. My friend heard Boca's reason for dreaming, and then he was very moved to find a precious pearl necklace and sold it to Boca.
Cobb, who got the necklace, imagined that this precious necklace would add infinite brilliance to Chanel's noble neck and drove wildly. Excited and tired of driving all night, at a street corner, his car hit another car that suddenly flashed out. Cobb's body turned over and was crushed under heavy steel like an ant. There was blood everywhere. The necklace slipped out of his pocket, shining with blood.
Chanel was shocked by the bad news and rushed to the scene. The terrible car accident changed her handsome lover beyond recognition. Chanel just stood in front of great disaster and Cobb's deep love. At that moment, she was silly and didn't cry or cry. She swallowed all the tears and screams of grief and wrapped the bloody necklace with a handkerchief.
Chanel didn't cry, nor did she go to Cobb's grave to cry, but every Christmas, she would turn away everything and stand quietly in front of Cobb's portrait to have a Christmas that belongs only to them. Cobb died suddenly. She is like a bird with broken wings. No one gave her shelter and direction to fly. Chanel's career has reached a low point. This state continued until 1920.
This year, Chanel visited a Swiss jewelry mine with Russian Grand Duke Baka Zalov, where she was deeply attracted by the charm of cobalt blue and germanium red. When she came back, she fell into deep thinking about Cobb's bloody necklace. Cobb wants her to be an unusual woman. He guided and helped her to start an unusual career. It would be the biggest misunderstanding and blasphemy to Cobb if she stopped her career and pursuit of good things in life because of the death of her beloved.
That necklace is shining with touching luster, because some beads are stained with blood and become colorful. Thinking of the feeling of traveling to Switzerland, Chanel had a whim. If all kinds of jewelry with different colors and textures are inlaid together, wouldn't it greatly enrich the colors and styles of jewelry and set off the slender white neck of women? Later, with the help of the Russian Grand Duke, Chanel found inspiration and designed artificial jewelry embedded in natural jewelry. This design style coincides with the trend of pragmatism and frugality before World War II, and Chanel jewelry became popular.
192 1 year, Chanel also launched chanel no.5 perfume, with Nicole K as the spokesperson. Chanel no.5 is the first perfume named after a designer in history. The "double C" logo also makes this bottle of perfume the most profitable product in Chanel's history, and it has been enduring in the time corridor of Hengyuan. So far, it is still the key product promoted by Chanel official website.
In 1930s and 1940s, when World War II broke out, coco chanel closed her shop and took refuge in Switzerland with her beloved Nazi officers.
From 65438 to 0954, Coco returned to France, determined to make a comeback, and quickly captured a group of Parisian celebrities with its simple and natural women's style. Coat, bell bottoms, etc. They are all works of coco chanel in the post-war period. Or the post-war Chanel style has always been simple and elegant, tartan plaid or Nordic geometric printing, camellia, tweed are often used to make clothes, comfortable and natural.
She used to associate with Etienne Balsan, a French military officer, and Arthur Capel, a British industrialist, and gave her money to open the first milliner's shop and the first fashion shop. She traveled with the Duke of Westminster and inspired the design of the first tweed suit. Everyone in life is the source of creativity. She doesn't rely on luck alone, but works very hard and seriously. Even in her seventies, she came back to serve.
Her hometown-Overwien in central France-is a poverty-stricken area full of extinct volcanic terrain. At the age of 70, she described herself as "the only immortal active volcano in Overwien". Today, Chanel is still an eternal active volcano in the fashion world, looking at the hot industries with many new people and complicated brands. Chanel brand takes the high-end route, which is fashionable, simple, comfortable, pure and graceful, youthful and beautiful. "Fashion is fleeting and style lasts forever" is still the guiding force behind the brand; The opposite of splendor is not poverty, but vulgarity.
197 1 year 1 month 1 day, she died in her room in hotel ritz, at the age of 88. In his life, he explained the meticulous, luxurious and never-fading Chanel spirit. Her tombstone is carved with the heads of five stone lions. Chanel's Paris design studio, now managed by karl lagerfeld, is still a top fashion studio.
1983, after Chanel's death, the design genius karl lagerfeld took over as the fashion director of Chanel Group, which pushed Chanel's fashion to another peak, but today, every season's new products still take Chanel spirit as the design concept. Karl lagerfeld is the most famous representative of modern fashion directors. He has a free, casual and relaxed design mentality. In his design, he always mysteriously unifies two opposing artistic feelings, which are bold and dignified in France, romantic and humorous, and rigorous and exquisite in Germany. He doesn't have the same modeling lines and color cast, but he can understand Chanel's pure style from beginning to end.
20 14 12.3 the British mirror pointed out that the latest evidence proved that coco chanel was a Nazi spy, 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 Britain because she was a friend of British Prime Minister Churchill at that time. After the war, Chanel was investigated by the French authorities, and it was this friendship that saved her from bad luck.
At the end of her life, she still remembers the day when Cobb left her: lonely, in the sunshine of today's snowy area. I don't have children yet, and I don't have any fascinating fantasies-those fantasies make us believe that people like us live in this world, and they work and live alone.
