Editorial Reviews

'THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COLOUR
IS THE ONE WHICH MAKES YOU
BEAUTIFUL'. Chanel - more than just one of the world's most successful fashion labels, also the name of a woman who led a fascinating life. This Paris designer banished the corset from women's fashion, created
the bouclé suit and the famous 'little black dress', and made costume jewellery socially acceptable.
Her elegant but comfortable clothing stressed the new-won freedoms of 1920's women; her perfume
made ladies irresistible. Chanel's head designer Karl Lagerfeld explains why her simple style is still today an inspiration. Unique shots and designs from the archives reveal Coco Chanel's passion both for fashion and for life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Chanel biography and history of fashion, November 20, 2009
By

This review is from: Chanel, Chanel (DVD)
This biography of Chanel and history of fashion was filmed in 1988 with a young Karl Lagerfeld. Karl Lagerfeld is interviewed throughout as this was created a few years after he took over the House of Chanel.

The film is done in fashion biography documentary style with a combination of black & white and color movies, photos and illustrations. The film is lovingly narrated by Diane Glick.

The most wonderful part of the film is watching Chanel in interviews explain her philosophy in life and fashion. You can see that she was always focused, always a sharp business woman and always aware of her place in life and history.

Whether you are a Chanel devotee, fashionista or fashion historian, this film is worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars chanel, chanel, February 15, 2010

This review is from: Chanel, Chanel (DVD)
This film is a documentary which made over 20 years ago. It is an ideal companion to the recent TV /Lifetime and French language film "Coco" about the early years of Coco Chanel, recently released. This documentary shows actual interviews and actual footage of Coco and snippets of her era, which I found fascinating. It provides much real life information that Hollywood left out of their versions.
Also included are man interviews with Karl Lagerfeld when he first took over the Chanel firm provide his insight about her impact on the fashion world.

This is one of the only factual film resources available to augment the many books published about Coco. Very worthwhile and ideal for the student or layment interested in this iconic figure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little Coco in your Chanel?, March 17, 2010

This review is from: Chanel, Chanel (DVD)
This is an excellent bio of Coco Chanel!! To have come as far as she did as the fashion house with an indelible name, is extraordinary in an era when women were little more than chattel. The interviews with Coco in her latter years gives one a glimpse as to the persona that persisted through privation and also came back after a long absence. I appreciate that Karl Lagerfeld had preserved many of then drawings of Chanel fashions during her era. I recommend this film to anyone.
