      Coco Before Chanel--Perfect Fashion Pioneer

      How can a woman live her life to be perfect? Is Chanel's life perfect? I believe that if you ask a hundred women, there will be a hundred kinds of answers. This world is really wonderful. Is it not? No two eggs are alike, and no two people are alike. It is precisely because of this that the extraordinary Chanel is even more precious. Everyone is different, but everyone is the same. The way to go, the...

      Coco Before Chanel--The Great Alone

      I didn't expect that Chanel's life would be so simple and yet not so simple. To put it simply, it is because there are only a handful of people who have left traces in her life, and even love is so fleeting. C said that he did not appreciate Chanel, and that she achieved her success by relying on men. I only feel sad. I can deeply feel the difficulty of life for her. She grew up alone in an orphanage, looking forward to her...

      In the lens, there are...

      Good man again.

      One is Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, one is Reid in Gone with the Wind, and the other is Boyle in this film. Even with the passage of time, the love for them will not diminish. Men who are mature and experienced but who yearn for love should probably be like this.

      Although the main line of the film is about the history of coco chanel's fashion struggle.
      But the man she had loved all her life and her emotional development were even more moving.

      Just discovered.
