Coco Chanel 03/23
Video 1 : Coco-inside Chanel
Summary : Life of Coco Chanel
Vocabulary : waist, liberation, shorten, boyish
Reflection : Coco Chanel, whose real name is Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, was born in 1883. When she was 12 years old, her father abandon them and sent them to an orphanage. She stayed at the orphanage for 7 years. She sang at the nightclub and made friends with many merchants and soldiers. This helped her start her early career of opening her first woman's hat shop. With her fashion style, she shortened the dress and revealed woman's ankles. She also freed the waist, eliminated corsets, revived jersey, cut her hair and brown her skin. These made her become the lead of  Feminism. At last, she died in 1971.
Video 2 : The Vocabulary of Fashion-Inside Coco Chanel
Summary : The stuff which Coco invents.
Vocabulary : tweed noun, camellia, discipline, pearl
Reflection : According to the video,  the little black dress, tweed noun, 2-tones shoes came from her ideas. She put camellia on her shoes and dresses and wore pants. This made her become the first woman who broke the rules of woman can only wore long skirts at that time. I really admire her not only she started from nothing and created many things that are easy and comfortable, but also because her courage and strong of recovering from the death of her lover and keep going on her own business.
