A little girl who is sent with her sister to an orphanage in the heart of France who waits in vain every Sunday for her father to come for her…
A humble seamstress, who stitches hems at the back of a provincial tailor’s shop…
A young, skinny courtesan, to whom protector Élienne Balsan offers a safe haven, amongst the idle and decandent…
A woman in love who knows she will never be anyone’s wife, refusing marriage even to Boy Capel, the man who returned her love…
A rebel who finds the conventions of her time oppressive and, instead dresses in her lovers’ clothes…
This is the story of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, who begins her life as a headstrong orphan and through an extraordinary journey becomes the legendary couturier that embodied the modern woman and became a timeless symbol of success, freedom and style.
