The Wars of Coco Chanel
She had to fight many wars to go from the little orphan maid to the famous tailor celebrated worldwide. War against social order, against conventions, against men, against bankers, against her contemporaries. By borrowing from men their money and their style, she lived a relentless battle, a merciless fight to exist on her own and to go down in history. Socialite, fashion designer, spy, and rebellious old lady, Chanel constantly reinvented herself throughout her existence, creating her own legend.
