Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” — Coco Chanel, from Chanel: An Intimate Life by Lisa Chaney (2011)
In late 2021 a fabulous exhibition was shown in Australia – ‘Gabrielle Chanel: Fashion Manifesto’. Held at the National Gallery in Melbourne, this exhibition displayed items not seen by the public before, and examined the legacy of this remarkable woman. Chanel introduced the Little Black Dress, she made women feel not only elegant but also comfortable in their clothes, and one of the perfumes she created is the biggest selling perfume of all time. She dressed the rich and famous, simplified feminine style, designed handbags and hats, and changed the way that women dressed. Chanel is, quite rightly, considered one of the 100 most important people of the 20th century.

“Absolutely fabulous” come to mind listening to this talk about Coco Chanel. This series has been so interesting.
Again Susannah you keep giving us such treasures.
Heaps of thanks,
Susannah Fullerton
Thanks so much for your kind words, Jennie. I hope the series brought back lovely memories of our travels together in France.
I do hope you will consider joining the fun for the Scandinaivan series. I’m loving the preparation and look forward to seeing so many good friends attend the talks.

I thoroughly recommend the film “Coco before Chanel”, an arthouse film from about 10 years ago.
