It was almost after the death of Miss Chanel that everyone found her poor background: her father was a wandering playboy, bankrupt in business, poor and handsome, this should be Chanel's template. His mother was just one of his father's many women, cooking and doing rough work for the washerwoman. Chanel stayed in the orphanage for five years after he was twelve years old, but his father went to buy cigarettes under the pretext of having no news. Chanel was also called Gabriel at the time. She was young and beautiful and sang in a vulgar bar. She could only sing two songs "Who saw Coco" and "KO KO RI KO" . She also inserted fake flowers, learned to scratch her head, and sang with her chest twisted: coco, coco~~~~ Everyone sees her cute, and coco has become everyone’s nickname for her. After she became famous, she told people the origin of the name, saying that her father gave her to her.
It was in that noisy bar that she saw too many cheap feather lace gold powder and inferior silk, and fake jewelry that was too shimmering in the inferior powder. She must have had fun here too. Until she met a French rich man Etienne Barzan. Etienne placed her in Washington, but hid her when a visitor came, because her background was too low, so the servants dared to feed her with dirty napkins. Once she rushed out, wearing a white shirt and bow tie sewn by herself to join them on horseback riding. The ladies' riding clothes were still complicated, and she was like a tomboy. But she didn't expect Etienne to ask her to sing "Who saw Coco" for everyone. She couldn't help but be embarrassed and ashamed. She sang hard, watching a group of upper-class characters behave under the influence of alcohol. Unscrupulously exposing her breasts and thighs, this turned into another vulgar bar. She sang with distracted eyes, and she couldn't escape the shame no matter how she wanted to hide. As the night got darker, how much the gentlemen in the masquerade wanted to pretend to be tramps and pirates, so desperately she wanted the elegance and solemnity she had never had before.
Love came before those, and of course this was what she lacked even more. British tycoon Carper, he sponsored COCO to open a store and gave her the opportunity to step up and set foot on the road to become Chanel.
Parisian fashion before the First World War was a kind of luxuriant beauty. There are full of hollow laces, bow knots, large clusters of feathers, embroidered hats, long skirts, and umbrellas. Regardless of the price and the workmanship, a style is too typical, and when it comes to an end, there are all obvious declining customs. This means that there is an urgent need for an unknown to integrate or replace. Miss Chanel's aesthetic is less than too much, elegant and moderate. The word "moderate" is the most difficult. It is a kind of shocking temperance and rigor. The so-called increase by one point will make it long, and one point will make it short.
Her design now represents a kind of classic and even conservative, but as my friend P once sighed, it is not wrong to wear Chanel when you don't know what to wear.
The color is reduced to a minimum and will not overwhelm the audience, but the character itself is prominent. She is committed to getting rid of pretentiousness, and the design has clever and elegant upgrades. From awkward women to bamboo-like girls can be stuffed into her classic piping suits, which will give you a moderate amount of rationality and restraint. Therefore, the details have never been more important in straight-line cutting. It plays the role of lifting and softening. Such as camellia and pearl chains. For example, more perfect handmade.
Everything does not come out of thin air, if her simplicity and neutrality start from a strong desire to get rid of identity memory in her heart, (of course, the practicality of the orphanage uniform penetrates into the shadows). The famous pearl necklace was due to the car crash that led to the death of his lover Carber, and he was rushing to give her a string of pearls. Since then, pearls have become a teardrop in her heart, and beading has become an important part of her matching style. The preparation of Chanel No. 5 was the Russian chemist Bovaan, who was a gift from Chanel and the Grand Duke of Russia after she fell in love. She was 40 years old when this perfume was released.
Outside the patch: There are many men who have been close to her in her life, such as Picasso, Dali, Stravinsky, and the Duke of Westminster. And Baron Hans Dinklage, a German diplomat in World War II, was a spy. She thought who she liked had nothing to do with the conflict with the country, so she went to Switzerland with him. At the end of this relationship, the hotel maid heard her being there. Complaining that this gentleman is a soft meal, only knows to spend her money. It is said that when he was 88 years old, his last intimacy was the Duke of Windsor. She died at this age, and she complained that she couldn't move for a period of time before her death. This was what she couldn't stand the most, and for the first time she felt powerless.
When I was writing this essay, the book sent to me by Twelve also arrived. I opened Han Songluo's "Watching Movies for Revenge", and it happened that he wrote Zhang Ailing's article. He said that the richer and richer Zhang Ai's works, the poorer she lived. Wang Jiazhi's pink diamond ring flickered in the writing ring. In fact, she was receiving relief there, so Wang Jiazhi was finally moved by the ring. In the emotional world, growing up in indifference, so will fall in love with Hu Lancheng. This is love in scarcity.
The same is true for Chanel, and the strict limits of scale in her design are also based on this reason. She should no longer see vulgar fans, full of flowers, or this is a past that she refuses to think of again. Her non-stop creation and love, it is precisely that she does not allow herself to have no thinking space to default. No matter which period of clothing series, perfume and jewelry design, they are secreted products after every love solace. Although posterity said, she actually only loved Kabo.
How Gabriel became Chanel, I tried to explain her in several aspects. Although it is related to her, it is not all her. The only thing that is certain is that although she needs love and is unmarried for life, she herself , Is his own complete outrageous empire.
