Hello My Friends! Today is the day! The new Coco Avant Chanel movie is being released in France today. Those lucky ducks! If you do not speak French you may be waiting a while for the subtitled version. I cannot wait to see this movie. I am a huge fan of Coco Chanel. Not as much for the fashion (which is amazing) but more so for her life story. Very inspiring, very controversial, very real.
Audrey Tautou (of Amelie fame) is playing the young Coco. The stills from the film are stunning.
I can hardly contain my excitement!
What I wouldn't give to walk the back areas of the atelier! Who has Karl's number, I need a personal tour!
Some fabulous pics of Audrey for you.
I love this one! Very reminiscent of another Audrey to me!
And, of course an image of the legend herself! If you are lucky enough to view the film, I would love to hear how it was. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
The swell lifeHello all! I recorded the new Chanel movie what seems like months ago & FINALLY watched it! So, now needless to say I am on a Chanel binge! What a woman!!! What a life! What a movie! Here are some pics of original Chanel couture from the decades that Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel was designing for the house of Chanel. All of the couture images are from the Met.
1934 described of being made with Metal & fabric! Stunning.
1936 How incredibly timeless. I would love to throw this number on and go somewhere spectacular! The opera maybe?
1984 I love this color & fabric! It is breathtaking. Oh this one is not from a time when Chanel was living & operating the couture house. It was too beautiful to pass up.
1938 Unbelievably beautiful!
1924 A classic Chanel

The famous staircase that Coco would quietly sit on to view the reactions of the journalists and critics watching her shows. They say that her employees were instructed to spray her signature perfume before she came in so she would be greeted by the scent. I'm going to tell my husband to do that before I come home everyday! I wonder if he would do it? :)
This is her dining room. Could you just imagine sitting here at one her famous parties with the likes of Picasso & Missia! A girl could dream, can't she!

Also, sharing attention in this famous living room is a beige sofa. It is said that Chanel was very particular about who she would let sit that sofa! It seems almost sacrilegious that they let people sit on it today! My goodness!

Here is a lovely example of a set of her "pairs" a very miniature little birdcage. Oh! How ravishing would that look in my boudoir!?!
