FOR A WOMAN WAS TO WEAR DRESSES WITHOUT WEARING A CORSET AND A HAT WITHOUT FEATHERS, ONE WOMAN STOOD UP, DEFIED CONVENTION AND DEFINED THE MODERN WOMAN. WHEN THIS WOMAN DIED AT 88 YEARS IN THE YEAR 1971, SHE COULD LOOK BACK AT A LIFE OF STRUGGLE AND ADVENTURE, AND AN EMPIRE SHE BUILT THAT, BEARING HER NAME, CHANGED THE WOLD OF FASHION FOR EVER. THIS WOMAN WAS COCO CHANEL.
A little girl who is sent with her sister to an orphanage in the heart of France, who waits in vain every Sunday for her father to come for her… A cabaret performer with a weak voice who sings to an audience of drunken soldiers… A humble seamstress, who stitches hems at the back of a provincial tailor's shop… A young, skinny courtesan, to whom protector Etienne Balsan offers a safe haven, amongst the idle and decadent… A woman in love who knows she will never bye anyone's wife, refusing marriage even to Boy Capel, the man who returned her love… A rebel who finds the conventions of her time oppressive, and instead dresses in her lovers' clothes…
This is the story the story of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, who began her life as headstrong orphan, and through an extraordinary journey became the legendary couturier who embodied the modern woman and became a timeless symbol of success, freedom and style. The film portrays the formative years of Chanel's life, the years of Chanel spent discovering and inventing herself, a journey that took her from her obscure beginnings to the blinding lights of Paris. This is the story from the time that Chanel was simply Coco.
