Malraux, former French Minister of Culture, said: "France will always have three names in this century: De Gaulle, Picasso and coco chanel."
Xiang, Nai and Er.
Just like the brand she founded, this name is an eternal legend. She has been giving the girls the following life lessons all her life.
First, you can't choose your birth, but you can choose your own life.
We all know that Chanel is a world-famous top luxury brand, but not everyone knows that its brand founder coco chanel was born in a poor peasant family.
Coco chanel, formerly known as Gabrielle Chanel, was born in a poor hospital in Somere on August 1983 1883. She is the second child of a poor unmarried couple. It was the second year after her birth that her parents officially registered to get married. Her father was a mobile peddler selling small commodities, and her childhood was spent in a simple world such as markets and streets.
/kloc-at the age of 0/2, Gabrielle Chanel's mother died of illness. She and her sister were abandoned by their father as a bag of flour in the orphanage in Obazin. There, Chanel put on the uniform of the monastery-white coat, black skirt and black socks, and was a quiet girl for several years.
Later, when she talked about this past, she said:
Suffering, instead of crushing her, ignited her strong fighting spirit and courage. Therefore, when she was dormant for ten years, she returned to Paris at the age of 7 1 and regained the status of the king of haute couture, without fear of the power of the new star Dior.
This indomitable, brave and independent character in the face of suffering, coupled with unique personality traits, is destined to become a fashion pioneer of that era.
Nowadays, most girls are obviously much luckier. Even without a good family, they still have the warm care of their parents. What's terrible about those difficulties before us? Those who can't beat you will eventually achieve you.
Second, to master a skill, you must have a dream. Skills make you walk steadily, and dreams make you go further.
During the depressing and hard days in the orphanage, Chanel learned the skill that influenced her life-sewing. There, she received a primary education and learned simple sewing skills, such as sewing sheets and baby clothes.
At the age of twenty, under the arrangement of a nun, she came to Mulan as a shop assistant in a knitwear shop. This is the first job in her life. It happened that the shopkeeper was a very decent person and a model of social elegance at that time. From then on, Chanel began to get in touch with high-class people and established her own simple and simple dress style. In her opinion, those women in the street are "hanging around and wearing things, living like a Christmas tree". Later facts also proved that her aesthetic taste had surpassed that era.
In Mulan, Chanel's original dream was not to be a shop assistant, but to be a singer. She signed a one-year contract with Yuan Ting, a singing and dancing coffee shop, and began to perform on the stage. She often sings a song called "Who Has Seen CoCo", and the audience under the stage enthusiastically calls her CoCo. During this period, a rich cavalry officer, Etienne Balsam, fell in love with her and often called her Coco affectionately. Seeing that she lacked talent for singing, she followed her first lover to his castle in the north of Paris-"Mirror of the King", and renamed it coco chanel.
This is an important turning point in Chanel's life. Because she is not satisfied with the status quo and does not compromise with reality, she has gone further than any orphan in the monastery.
Many times, we have empty dreams, but we never practice them easily. In fact, some things are really impossible, just unexpected. Of course, opportunities are always for those who are prepared. We must have professional knowledge based on society in order to be strong enough to meet the challenges.
Third, a woman's most important coat is called "self". Only by maintaining your independent personality and unique style can you finally achieve yourself.
Coco chanel has never been married, but her lovers are not only officers, nobles, princes and dukes, but also poets and musicians. She is sincere in every relationship, but she never loses herself. On the contrary, she can always learn from her lover and find inspiration to nourish and achieve herself.
Arthur capel is Chanel's favorite and unforgettable boyfriend. With his support, coco chanel rented a shop on the second floor of Paris Kangbang Street and hung up the signboard of "Chanel Bonner". Many years later, it became the headquarters of Chanel. Although the hat shop at that time was small, it was the starting point of her brilliant career and also dug up the "first bucket of gold" for her life. A year later, coco chanel paid off capel's investment. This kind of Leo woman with humble origin but strong heart knows that only by being economically and ideologically independent can women be equal to men in career and love.
Capel appreciates and loves Chanel from the heart. Having known each other for many years, when he came home from her apartment and died in a car accident, heartbroken coco chanel swore at the scene of the accident that she would make women all over the world wear black clothes.
She did it.
Her little black dress has become an eternal classic in fashion. Until then, black has always been the color of funerals. The classes it represents are workers and servants. Women in black skirts do not participate in social activities, and they are not qualified to pursue beauty. However, Cocoa, who dares to be the first, makes the little black dress amazing, and has since become a must-have classic in women's wardrobes.
Chanel has always been a maverick innovator. She stripped women of their bras and feathers, made them cut their hair short, put on swimsuits and sunbathe. She changed people's dress concept, and turned the clothes of the lower class, such as sailors' pullovers, dockers' T-shirts and painters' traditional white coats, into a fashion.
You can imagine how bold and unusual she was in the society at that time, and she also suffered too much resistance and criticism. But it was her fearless self that made a unique contribution to promoting women's liberation and finally achieved herself.
Some time ago, I saw a beautiful young female star giving her boyfriend plastic surgery, which postponed the kissing scene. As a result, love cannot stay. Very emotional. Every girl is unique in this world. Only by cherishing yourself, improving yourself, keeping your own characteristics and operating with your heart can you get more respect and appreciation.
Fourth, network resources are very important. What kind of friends you associate with determines what kind of circle you are in and what achievements you have achieved or will achieve.
Mia Goldbusga is Chanel's best friend. This girl was born in St. Petersburg. She is a mixed-race girl. She studied under the composer Foer and played the piano very well. She has been modeling for various painters since 15 years old, including Picasso. For fifty years, she lived among the greatest artists and became an indispensable member of the cultural circle. Chanel met her at a friend's dinner party and had a great influence on her later life.
Vera Bate is an angel of Chanel. Due to the close relationship between Vera and the British royal family, Chanel not only met the Duke of Westminster, the richest man in Britain, and fell in love with him, but also met Churchill, and with her help, she entered the British upper class. At the same time, Vera is a model of Chanel. She wears Chanel clothes for free and goes to various celebrity gathering places, which has won a lot of attention and praise. These girlfriends can be said to support each other and achieve each other.
Besides girlfriends, Chanel's lovers also provided a broader stage for her life and career and broadened her horizons. Her Russian boyfriend, Archduke Dimitri, came from the royal family and introduced her to chemist Ernest Bo, the son of a czar employee. Chanel no.5 perfume has a chance to come out. Chanel fell in love with English style during her love for the Duke of Westminster. She turned the black suit vest into fashion, made women wear berets, and created a new fashion of cross-border dressing. At the same time, she had the opportunity to get in touch with Scottish tweed, which laid the foundation for the later amazing work-Chanel suit.
Whether you choose a friend or a spouse, you will meet what kind of person you are. And the other person's style and gas field also have an influence on us. You don't have to follow suit to make friends, but don't associate with people with low character. We need friends and a positive life.
Self-study is an important way to become a talent, and books are a woman's best friend. Reading should be our lifelong hobby.
Coco chanel didn't go to a regular school. But even in the life of the monastery, when she was invited to visit her aunt's house every holiday, she never forgot to read.
There is a storage room in my aunt's house, which is full of colorful pictorial and various novels. This storeroom greatly cultivated coco chanel's imagination. The story she read there became her treasure and inspired her dreams; The costume design in the pictorial brought her into a different world. The lonely girl finally has a confidante.
After returning to the monastery, she often tells her friends some short stories she saw in novels. These stories, combined with her unique descriptions and opinions, bring a refreshing feeling to everyone, even the teachers are amazed.
The famous Chanel looked at reading in this period like this:
In fact, in coco chanel's long life, reading became her only hobby after work. She said that books are her best friends.
And I want to say that books should also be the best friends of you, me and every girl.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day:-)
