Every woman should have a Chanel, not because of its brand, not because it is a luxury, but simply because it represents the tenacity and persistence of women.
From a little girl from a poor background, to a popular designer shining in Paris, from an aristocratic mistress to a pop queen, Chanel's own is a legend, not to mention her extraordinary design talent, and keen fashion touch, which was established by one hand, and finally made women all over the world flock to it, the brand empire.
Chanel was born into a very poor and backward family, her father was a grocery peddler, her mother was a shepherd in the mountains, but when she was six years old, her mother died tragically, and her irresponsible father simply abandoned her.
Chanel could only be raised by her aunt, who sent her to a remote convent school, and when she was young, she lost her parents one after another, and in an unfamiliar environment, she developed a strong and independent personality, and it was also in this convent that she learned a hand of needlework skills.
In a closed and boring environment for a long time, Chanel longed for the lively urban life, and finally after she grew up, she decided to leave the convent and go to Paris alone.
Paris was the capital of fashion, and she was convinced that it was the only place where she could have everything she wanted, so she worked as a tailor in a clothing store in Paris, when she was only eighteen years old, and her mind was full of alternative designs.
She designed a lot of distinctive clothing, and also made plus-size women's clothing for obese people, and soon she had a loyal customer who was either rich or expensive in France.
Under the introduction of these customers, Chanel met a wealthy officer, and the young and beautiful Chanel charmed the officer and launched a fierce pursuit offensive, and the officer's frequent encounters and shows of love finally impressed Chanel.
The officer succeeded in pursuing his beloved girl, and was so happy that he immediately took Chanel to his estate, and Chanel's friends were happy for her and celebrated her imminent advancement into the nobility.
And Chanel was also overjoyed by this beautiful encounter, and after arriving at the officer's manor, Chanel was completely stunned by the sight in front of her, she had never seen such a luxurious place, and she did not dare to imagine that this place had become her own home.
Every ornament in the manor is exquisite and luxurious, even if it is only a candle, its price can make ordinary people live for a whole month.
The general took Chanel to various dinners, gave her expensive jewelry, dressed her in a fancy dress, taught her to ride a horse, took her for a ride, and gave her everything she wanted.
Chanel experienced life in high society, and at first she could not understand the content of other people's conversations, did not understand any etiquette, and felt the strange eyes of others projecting on her, but later she completely lost herself in the favor of drunken fans and officers.
Looking back on the miserable life of the past, no one had ever been so kind to himself as he had been, and this kindness made Chanel ignore the dismissive glances thrown by the servants of the manor, and also made her ignore that once at the banquet, someone said in front of her with malicious intentions, they were younger than the other.
The more time passed, the more Chanel became accustomed to the life of high society, and she no longer had the nervousness and uneasiness she had at the beginning, and she was accustomed to everything, but the appearance of the officer's mother shattered her illusions of all goodness.
On that day, all the servants of the manor were busy, as if to greet someone, and Chanel was also curious about it, but before her curiosity could be answered, she was taken to the basement by the officer and told not to go out, and even better not to make a sound.
Chanel felt very strange, but the officer did not have time to explain to her, and finally, from a maid, she learned that the person who came today was the officer's mother.
This answer made Chanel even more confused, the elders came, why did she hide, instead of going to meet them together?
The maid, with a look of seriousness and contempt, said to Chanel, why can't you face reality, you are not the kind of woman who can be introduced to his mother.
At that moment, Chanel was stunned, and she suddenly understood the strange glances that the servants and the people at the banquet had been throwing at her, and it turned out that all the beautiful imaginations of the future were just illusions, and she would not marry a beloved, but just an unsightly lover.
Chanel's tears couldn't stop flowing, and there were bursts of pain within her, and these pains were all punishments for herself, for losing herself for a while.
She was addicted to the good life of high society, forgot her origins, forgot her efforts, and enjoyed all this with peace of mind, but reality slapped her hard.
The awakened Chanel thought back to everything during this time, what she had was not earned by herself, but by men, as the maid said, you should never forget your origins, because others will not forget, in the eyes of others, you will always be an inferior person.
But Chanel was no ordinary girl, and she soon perked up, and she said haughtily to the maid, I will not forget who I am, but I will let you know that I can make all of you look up to me without relying on men.
She walked straight into the hall, angrily rebuked the officer for what she had done in front of everyone, and then decisively packed up her belongings and left the manor.
She will never forget the humiliation and hurt she brought here, but she vowed that she would make those who looked down on her look at her with astonishment.
Chanel returned to being a tailor, and in the course of this period of experience, she found that the hat worn by aristocratic women, although it looked luxurious, cumbersome and bulky, so she designed a new hat that was unique and beautiful, simple and generous, but also luxurious.
Sure enough, as soon as the hat was introduced, it was loved by aristocrats and professional women, and from then on, Chanel's business grew bigger and bigger, and she even bought an entire building as her own production site.
Under her painstaking research, according to the general pursuit of women's clothing at that time to shape and tighten the body and make women breathless, the wide skirt needed help to be worn by others, and other drawbacks, coupled with the outbreak of war at that time, the number of maids was sharply reduced, and the nobles could not wear dresses without the help of servants.
Chanel seized the opportunity to combine the comforts of menswear to design a women's clothing that did not require tights and could even wear no skirts.
This pants, without losing the elegance and beauty of the skirt, but no longer tied hands and feet, so that women can be beautiful and can still move freely.
Therefore, after the launch of the product, it immediately influenced the entire Parisian fashion circle and was sought after by all women, even the most famous fashion designers at that time praised her design.
Since then, Chanel has been named the most promising female designer, she has become the top of the Parisian fashion circle, and finally fulfilled her promise not to rely on men, but also to let others look up to.
Forty years later, the day Chanel returned again after fifteen years of retirement, she brought a costume show to increase the competitiveness of her Chanel brand.
At that time, young brands such as Dior came out of nowhere, and new products emerged in an endless stream, so Chanel could only go out again to support its fashion empire.
However, the catwalk was not very successful, the design was outdated, there was no novelty, and it became the reason for the disappointment of the audience, so before the costume show was over, many people left the table.
Chanel's return failed, at this time she is 71 years old, but the old and strong she, did not be knocked down by the blow, after all, in her life, was abandoned too many times, by family affection, love have been abandoned, so this time, by fame and fortune and even partners abandoned what is it?
As she herself said, it wasn't the first time I'd been abandoned anyway.
Later, the niece was going to the banquet, and wanted Chanel to comment on her clothing, chanel was very unceremonious about the clothes on the niece's body, wearing this dress, are you brain normal? Clothes are designed for people to wear, so fashion should be simple and comfortable, not cumbersome and clumsy.
She ripped off her niece's gloves, the sleeves on her skirt, the petticoat outside the skirt, and asked the housekeeper to take off a white curtain, which she draped over her niece's shoulder and, still on her chest, pinned a white camellia, and gave her a pair of white gloves.
Watching the dress on her niece change from bloated to fashionable, Chanel's girlfriend said silently, this is Chanel.
Chanel's niece, wearing this dress to walk the streets, not only became a beautiful scenery, but also made many people stop for it, shine in the banquet, and became the focus of everyone's attention.
Maybe that's what Chanel said to her niece, you have to dress like Coco Chanel's niece, you should look like.
Truly successful people rise up from traditional ideas, and Chanel's designs continue to challenge tradition, ultimately making her a representative of the successful people who lead Parisian fashion.
