Forgive me if I mispronounce any French words. This week is just a short video, we will go back to our deep dives next week. Thanks for watching. If you have any requests on topics you would like us to cover, please let us know.

Let us come correct; alone does NOT mean lonely. It doesn’t.

She was a survivor. Strong and alone a woman among strong men in a man's world. Ms. Chanel did it her way and lived a life as good or better than anyone else in her shoes. Women then, just as now, do what they have to do, to get ahead. At the very least she was honorable with her fashion work and not an "onlyfans" influencer. I admire her will to live and to fight, not taking the suicidal way out, as too many famous people have done. Respect.

[susanhill]

Very insightful and well presented. I enjoy your story telling. Thank you!

[amariev]

You have a very good narration voice, low and calming with perfect inflection. New favorite channel! Good work.

She was an opportunist, who fought to stay alive because that is the only way for a poor child from an orphanage to survive.

[annemcdonald]

Coco Chanel was a survivor.

I see you Chanel the child, and acknowledge you. You are not forgotten ❤ I too am an orphan and my career has taken me in, I’m building a future for myself as well 🎉 inspiring story

[stargazeronesixseven]

🙏 Under difficult situation of WWII ... Many had to do things they don't like just to survive! 🕯🌼🌿🌍✌💜🕊🇫🇷

I don't think spying was her reason for the friendship with a German but I can see how it would appear that way...

[marywest]

she was a woman in a world that valued men, money and power....the only place for women were to deliver heirs....if the brood woman had the proper blood line that is....she worked hard, as far as I know she never stole from anyone, she never abused those in her employ, she adopted her nephew so he wouldn't have to grow up like her....she was taught a skill as a child, used it, tapped into her creative mind and had the guts to pursue that creativity and make a business...although she was what some would say cheated out of most of the rewards of her hard work....she did what she had to to survive....she was entitled to be loved and to love as much as choices were her own....if she slept with a nazi to help her adopted son get out of a hell hole of a prisoner of war question to any mother out would you do to save your child? easy to judge looking her motives were to survive during the war time, were hers....she will have paid for any decisions that hurt others, like we all will some day....

A Very Strong Woman! Her story would make a Great movie. I Hope someone takes Her story to the Silver Screen! God Bless!😇🙏❤️

87 and sensing your life is almost over…..her Nazi alliance was confused by wanting to save her nephew. Handsome man

I have simple tastes. I'm satisfied with only the best. --Coco Chanel

Don’t worry about your mispronunciation of the French words you did a great job

[JohnInTheShelter]

This was very informative. She's been such a famous name (even I knew who she was as a teen), but I didn't know much about her.

[fredetioles]

She closed her fashion house in retaliation against her (female) workers who, demanding better wages and working conditions, had participated in the 1938 strikes.

[johncampbell]

This mini-bio of the complex Chanel is so superbly produced and keenly unique that I’ve Subscribed to this channel and will watch every video they create. Beautifully, dignified, revelatory.

[thelinguist]

I didn't know she had such little ownership of the brand. How did that happen?
