Video 1: Coco--Inside CHANEL
Summary
The video tells the life details about Chanel. She was abandoned by his father at the age of twelve and spent nearly seven years in an orphanage where she learned sewing. She used to sing in a cabaret for troops and called herself “Coco”, the name from a song “who’s seen Coco” that she often sang, and pretended that “Coco” was the nickname given by her father. Helped by her wealthy lover Boy Capel, she opened her first boutique in Paris and transformed the female’s attire, shortening dresses revealing ankles, freeing the waist, eliminating corsets, reviving jersey, cutting hair and browning skin. She created a new century of fashion
