The best documentary about Coco I've come across, not romanticized. Thank you for sharing.

It's important to remember that the events here affected real people who are living today. The area in France where my mother was born was occupied by Nazis when she was 14. She saw jewish friends and neighbors taken off, first to Orléans then to extermination camps. Her family had been locally prominent in the previous century, but now was viciously divided between collaborators and resistors. After the war, she saw female collabotators stripped naked and forced to walk village streets while angry neighbors threw stones and filth at them. People she knew executed others she knew or knew of. She became a fashion model in Paris in the very early years after the war, before models were glamorous and widely known. She had a deep, abiding dislike and disregard for Chanel, always calling her a sell-out and traitor. Collaborators caused real harm among their countrymen.

I once saw a documentary about her which included interviews with her in her later years. She attested that she left Paris after the war "because it was no longer interesting." Naturally, she made no mention that a large percentage of the French population wanted to shave her head and string her up.

I love the irony of a Jewish family taking control over the entire brand in the end

[pammymusicever]

I never knew about her collaboration with the Nazis. That is certainly a blemish on her character. She was a gifted designer. It's too bad that some who are born into humble beginnings forget and become greedy and self-absorbed. People should never forget and keep their humanity. That's a far better narrative for history.

I am glad that the Jewish family was able to take 100% ownership.

Well, the devil doesn't just wear Prada apparently....

[smallmeadow]

I didn't know about her collaboration. I'm glad the Wertheimers regained control over the enterprise. Justice served to some extent.

Thank you to People's Profiles for this and in the manner of education. Now knowing I personally would never endorse or patronize anything of Chanel. May the lives of all lost in the Holocaust be remembered 🌹 and NEVER forgotten. May they all be at peace with the Lord 🕊.

The "Coco Chanel" documentary provides a captivating glimpse into the life and work of this iconic designer, shedding light on her influential collaborations. However, it sometimes romanticizes Chanel's controversial personal history, and a more critical examination of her associations could offer a more well-rounded perspective on her legacy.

Great voice for bedtime!!...i really appreciate the time you take to bring us these vidoes...brilliant, thankyou!❤

[tracymccoy]

Why are there not more photographs of Chanel?

[WGARVA]

It seems as though in 2023, a lot of people have no knowledge of her
support of the Nazis.
It's kind of important to know more than just what's on the surface.

[graciasan]

She is certainly not benefiting for her company neither her descendants. It all went to the a Jewish family- This is Karma to the finest.

[mrslindsay]

I love the music during the credits at the end. It reminds me of watching an old history channel documentary in the 90s. Love this channel!

[terireed]

I have a print that was done by Louis Icart for Coco and signed by her in 1936. I guess this would have been just before her fall from grace owing to the Nazis. I've always loved it, it's so beautiful.

[bernadinetinker]

Appears she was a survivor with flexible boundaries.

[susiemason]

Super documentary . Thank you SO much. Such a brilliant designer, such a shame she was a collaborator.

[victoriagrapsidou]

Why is there no photos of Coco and the people around her, connecting to her to backup this documentary??

[vialogan]

I have a biography of Coco which states her father gave her the nickname and called her this all his life.
