Coco Avant Chanel...

[Celia Crowson]

Hiya - I just got back from seeing 'Coco Avant Chanel' at the cinema...the costumes were divine!

I do like her style - but I am still wondering what she exactly did in WWII...

 

[BinkieBaumont]

"Didn't she have a German General as her lover during the occupation?, being a French movie they probably glossed over the fact, ( Doing her bit for the war effort indeed!)"

Yes, although she closed down her atelier during the war.

Coco Chanel

As the German occupy Paris, Coco decides to close down her "Salon" which was not at the taste of the German. In the other hand, she is the mistress of a German officer. She is arrested in 1944 for it, but she will be released very quickly after the intervention of Churchill or the Duke of Westminster. She then moves to Switzerland until 1953...

Saw it today. Decent, but not great. I expected far more from Audrey.
