#CocoChanel #GabrielleChanel - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Another great history story! You did an amazing job gathering all the information and presenting it! I didn't know all the background of Coco Chanel. I love her handbags and have quite a few. I'm always impressed by people like her who come from nothing and make their mark in life. Estee Lauder being another. What she created takes someone with a lot of passion (and luck). She created an empire. We will never fully understand why she made some of the decisions in her personal life but I just look at what she created and have to admire that.
Thanks Mikki! It's true that we'll never truly understand her motivation behind some of her decisions, but we can still appreciate other things she did 😁
We can’t judge a woman in that era, who probably was on survival mode.
Very thorough & informative. Thank you for all of the work that I know must have gone into this. So interesting!
Thank you so much Grace! It took an entire week put together 😂😂😂
I love this series! I didn’t know Coco’s entire story, but for many years I have been aware that she was allegedly a nazi sympathizer. I definitely do not judge her for being a kept woman; I think she did what she had to do. However, I am the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, so I do judge her alleged anti-semitism. You are a great story teller; I can’t wait for the next installment! 😊❤️
Thank you Ana!
I think it's perfectly reasonable to think critically of someone's actions or thoughts when they behave in a questionable manner. I totally agree with you 😊
Allison Chase 😀💕
Ana Jarquin I’m Jewish and had relatives who died in the holocaust and had no idea about this fact regarding Coco Chanel. Thanks for the information.
Laura Libner 😊
@@Loralarify I'm sorry to hear that Laura, I'm glad I could bring some information to light for you 😊
That is so cool that picture of you on the steps at the Flagship Chanel store! How special!!!
Thank you! It was a very special moment 😁
Allison Chase ❤️💜❤️💜💞🌟⚡️💫
Hi Ally, Wow, not sure how to feel. So many details of Coco's life which don't reflect my own views. I do respect her "art". She created a persona and brand that is iconic and for that I admire her. I have a necklace, a replica of one that Jackie Kennedy owned called the "Paper Clip" necklace. Coco made a necklace out of French paper clips in 1920 on the spur of the moment in her salon. Who else but Coco could do that? Thanks for such an in depth look at her life. You really made me think about her in another light.. Great job!
Thank you so much Aprile! I'm so glad you enjoyed today's video. Her life, like many, was very complicated. While there are parts of life that I don't agree with, I can't deny her legacy in fashion.
Allison, Wow! Amazing! Thank you so much. This was so very interesting. I did not know any of Chanel's background and your are right I have to digest this. You put so much work into this--totally worth it. Love these series. Anna
Anna B Thank you so much Anna! Have a good weekend, happy digesting 😂
I LOVE BEAUTY HISTORY. !! This is the best series. I love it. Thanks for doing this. So different and interesting Yay
Thank you so much Louise! I'm so glad you enjoy the series so much 💖 💖 💖
Manifique! So elegant, so lovely😘😍
Merci! 💖 💖 💖
Excellent work, Allison. Love this series! I look forward to the next Beauty History.
Thank you 😘
Utterly fascinating! You certainly did your due diligence in Madame Coco’s life, Allie. Thank you, I appreciate you and I have a new appreciation for my precious bottle of Chanel No. 5.
Blessings to you!
Carla Cox Thank you so much Carla! 😘😘😘
Love your series Allison!!! Thank you for all the time to put this together for us! You made me great company while editing a video 😊💖😘💋
Hey It’s Jackeline My pleasure Jackeline 🥰 I’m so glad you enjoyed today’s video and I’m glad I could keep you company while you were doing your editing.
Allison Chase best company ever my friend! love you!!!! 💋💖
Hi Allison,
Thank you for the much awaited video. I really liked the historical details about how white skin represented class, how wealth was matched in marriages etc. It’s all very relatable for me.
Very well articulated. I thoroughly enjoyed the video!
Thanks again!
Jenny Cooper Thank you so much Jenny! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
GREAT video!!! This series is just fabulous! I’m learning so much!
Tonya Suttie Thank you Tonya! 😘😘😘
This was excellent and an eye opener, to say the least. Some of this I knew but the parts I didn’t know are the parts I think we are all trying to process. Thank you again for doing this series. I look forward to them every week.
Caryn Roman My pleasure Caryn! I’m glad you enjoyed this video 😁 Have a nice weekend!
Love this series. Can’t wait for the next one! I know it takes a lot of time to gather info, so thank you.
Daphne Dadzie Thank you so much Daphne! It really does take me a lot of time to do them, I’m glad you appreciate them 😁
Allison you are an excellent storyteller. I really enjoyed this video. Coco Chanel was an inspirational woman years ahead of her time.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing this with us. No doubt, her iconic life will always be interesting. I appreciate your work, in bringing her story to us. Your look is lovely, too!
Thank you so much Erica! Her life and legacy are both truly iconic! 😁
I always love these videos of yours you’re a great story teller & so much effort & research into them...
Thank you so much Fatima! I certainly do a lot of research for these videos 😆
How interesting! Thank you for sharing! I also love that nail colour on you!
Thank you to much!
Love this series! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into it.
Saundra Grose My pleasure Saundra 😁
I was so looking forward to this and wow you did not disappoint!!!! It is fantastic. So well researched. I am blown away.
What I found interesting is the fact you mentioned Coco's alleged "shady " side which I had no idea about. It would have been easy for you to skip over this. Well done for a very balanced view.
It was a joy to watch. It's clear you put lots and lots of research and work into this video and I must say a big thank you.
Thank you so much! I did in fact put lots of work into today’s video 😁
Wow awesome video, I have been watching your series, great job! and thank you for using the holiday eye shadow quad, I haven’t used mine in a while and I will definitely will be using it more often.
Yay! Thank you! 😁 😁 😁
YAY thank you for doing this. you are an amazing story teller. Loving the series. Waiting for the next one. 5 am here at my place. worth it
Yay! I'm so glad you loved it 🥰💖
Hello Alli ❤ This video is pure treat for me. I love it so much! I've always been interested in Gabrielle's story. I have a few books about her life. I need a second ice cream because it's Friday! And I will keep watching the rest of the video. ❤
Yes! Enjoy that second ice cream, enjoy it for me 😁It's a very long video so I understand 😂
Very interesting, Alli!! I read a biography of Chanel in the 1990's but it didn't go into detail about her ties to the Nazi party. Thanks for delving into all this research! I didn't realize that the association with Bougoise cosmetics went back so far. I think until recently Chanel owned them. Very pretty look today! :)
S Hartman Hello 😁 Most of the documents alleging her ties as a spy only came out sometime after 2011 once they became declassified 😉
Wow Allison! I’m here with my tea on a sunny Saturday listening to history of Coco Chanel thinking how relaxing. Then bam Nazis, spy, Chanel not her real spelling, Prince Edward buddies with Hitler... This was so interesting I learned so much! And I love all the pictures you included. I still can’t believe all the history on her that I’m sure a lot of people didn’t know. Great job on another beauty history video!! This one caught me by total surprise. 😊. I hope you have a lovely weekend!!
Hi Lora Lee!
It was truly surprising to me too! I had heard rumours about certain things but I was caught off guard by some of the things I ended up researching.
I absolutely love this series. I truly appreciate the time and care you take in presenting it. 💋
I'm so glad!😁
These are just fabulous Ally! I really look forward to these so much💝🔥💞
Thank you so much Laura! 💖💖💖
Allison Chase You really have a gift for storytelling..
@@Loralarify Thank you!
Very interesting, informative and thought provoking video! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job, Allie! You have a pleasing voice to listen to, and this video was well researched. I was familiar with Chanel's story, but it's always interesting to hear another's take on it. Thank you for all your hard work! 💗
Oh thank you so much Sue! It's true that it's always fun watching a video on something we know a lot about - we might learn some new information!
Thank you Allison. I had no idea about this history of Coco Channel. The early 1900’s were strange times. The woman had class but her thinking was akin to those dark days in history at the time. She was probably surrounded by many who thought the same way. I don’t really buy much from Chanel as it’s very expensive. I do enjoy your amazing videos.
Thank you 😊I'm so glad you enjoyed today's video 💖
This was so interesting! Thank you ❤️
Katie Wadsworth Thank you Katie! 🥰💖
Hi thank you so much for the time and real care you put into this series, this was so interesting, it’s a difficult story, it doesn’t put me off the beautiful make up they produce today but I’m glad I know the story x
Gaynor Witts Hello 😁 Yes I think that people deserve to know the real story. I think it would be less than smart of me to do otherwise because people can do a simple google search for themselves and find the same information that is did.
Alli you are so well read. I feel you gave a fair and objective account. Huge respect for this lady overall, she came from less than nothing in such a difficult period and made something of herself. I believe she absolutely would have known exactly what she was doing at all times, was resourceful picking up on opportunities over time, being very focused on her brand and growing her business. ❤️😊
Thank you Lisa! I tried my best to give an unbiased story 😊
this was so interesting! just found your channel and i love it.
Yay! Thank you! Welcome to my channel 😁
Amazing video! Thank you!
Thanks for watching! More videos to come!
What a story! Excellent job Allison
Thank you 🥰
I had certainly read about some of her story but looks like I missed some very important facts and thanks to your video, I think I might be done with this brand. When I first started with make up, it was just for the fun of it but as I've gained knowledge on consumerism and being more selective of what I buy, I think this brand has just been added to the list of brands I will no longer support. Great video.
Thank you Lissette! I'm glad this video was informative for you 😁
This is one of the best videos on the channel. You are an amazing storyteller👍🏻
Wow, thank you!
this video was soooo interesting! thank you!!!
You're so welcome!
What an amazing job Allie! Thank you for made all this reserche for us. I need to make a break to absorve all this information but for me is clear that I need to separate the "artist from the art"... Ida
Thank you Ida! I spent so much time on this one! It took me a week to make this video 💖
Thank you Allison you have out done yourself once again. Very surprised at the Nazi association of Coco. She was however a very clever woman as you described. Her fashion has lasted through the decades. Even in 2020 not many people in the world would not have heard of the brand Chanel. Love this added edition to your series brilliant ❤️
Thank you Sue! It was quite the shocking discovery!
Gosh this was good. Better than a book!
She was a hustler! Lol
Thanks for doing this 💖
Thank you so much! 🥰
So well researched and great perspective.
Thank you Heather! 🥰
Wow! That’s very interesting! Who’s next? You are a very good story teller!😘
Marcia Oliveira Thank you Marcia🥰
Wauw, I have several books about Chanel, but you nailed it. You narrated it so beautifully, as you are yourself.👍
Thank you so much 🙂
Thanks Allison, that was really interesting!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😘
I love this series ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 😊
Alli, what a great video is amazing what I learned about Coco Chanel today. I have read books and heard of her involvement in the war, but the details you shared where more constricted of her involvement and the reasons behind. I can imagine the amount of work you put into this video I would like to congratulate you on that and ask you not to stop since I love history and specially when is told like this very entertaining. Excellent job summarizing her life. Thank you.
Hi Carolin!
It's quite fascinating all the facts about her life. Most of the details regarding her involvement in the war only surfaced in the last decade. Thank you so much for watching!
@@AllisonChase My pleasure 💖
Thank you, enjoy theses videos.
Glad you like them!
This was amazing!!! 👍
Thank you!! 😁
Great vlog. Learned some “uncomfortable truths”. As you said, it will take time to digest. Thanks for sharing Coco’s mixed story of success as a pioneering business woman and failure as a human being.
You have distinguished yourself from the other Beauty Influencers in a very positive way. I am so impressed by you.
Thank you so much! She was iconic in many ways, but like you said, also a very flawed human.
Love your channel ❤️❣️ you are a classy CZcamsr
Kat Toledo Thank you Kat! 😁
Hi, this is Carol on the call. Oppps, you’re not my Zoom meeting! Screw that, I’m staying over here 🤩 cause I LOVE THESE BIOs
Hahaha enjoy the video! 😛
Can you imagine what this world would look like if Edward had remained king? I’ve thought that often. Thank you for this interesting journey in history Allison ❤️ ~ Charli
Charli Majdecki What a scary world that would have been Charli!
Fascinating!
Thank you! ❤
*What are your thoughts on Mademoiselle Chanel's life and legacy? I think it's perfectly within reason to think critically about a brand we love when we discover some unsavoury news, without automatically discounting them entirely.*
This was amazing. I really enjoyed it. I think we should separate the artist from the art.
I think we can do that 🙂
Wow Allison you have outdone yourself on this one! I am going to show this to my mother who has a book on Coco‘s life she will love it! I think I can separate the artist from the art because Coco has been gone for a long time along with her out dated beliefs.
Fabulous presentation on Coco! Another very interesting and complex woman. No judgment from me - I try not to because times were SO DIFFERENT and she isn’t here to answer questions. Yes, it sounds like some unfortunate choices but what drove her to those choices? Separate the art from the artist....if only we knew all the stories of so very many famous people of the past (and present for that matter!). Well done Allison - you have put so much work into these videos and your presentations are wonderful.
Thank you so much! I was quite surprised with some of the information I found out 😂
Allison Chase in 60 years of living, I’m less and less surprised by the things I discover about people. Sometimes it is wonderful and sometimes awful. Human beings are nothing if not complicated. 😊. My Mom wasEnglish and 21 years old when WW2 broke out. She lived through the horrors of London and the blitz and all of it. It made her a strong woman but the downside is that she never EVER trusted a German person after that for most of her life. It got better as she got older but she died at 85 with some unforgiveness still in her towards Germans. I don’t judge her, as she was an amazing person and I didn’t experience what she did. Perhaps Cocos time in the convent was harder than we know - an anti-Semitic nun perhaps? Who knows. 😘
I've been waiting for Chanel!!! I had no idea she had been a collaborator :( I had heard she was anti-Semitic but I didn't realize it had gone so far....
sdrogers85 I know right? I hadn’t realized the extent of things either until I did my research.
Fantastic video! Katie Rose and I were riveted. 🏆👏
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you girls liked it 🥰
Allison’s, you’ve outdone yourself with this Chanel exposé. I read a biography of Coco Chanel many years ago and it was certainly an eye opener. You’ve presented her story in an unbiased way and have allowed me to ponder my feelings about her antisemitism stance. I still find that she has a special place in fashion history. And as a woman who came from humble beginnings and rose to make a name for herself. I’m looking forward to your next beauty history instalment.
Hi Cristina!
Thank you so much 🥰I think her contributions to fashion are undoubtable even though she had some highly questionable beliefs. I think it's perfectly reasonable to examine some of her problematic ideals, while still acknowledging all the she accomplished.
You don’t usually hear about the ones that live a straight and narrow life. As they say a temperamental artist!
An excellent episode in your series. I've heard an individual is conditioned in their early developmental years. Therefore, no judgement on any aspect of Chanel's life from me. She lived her life in a different era than mine. This will not deter me from buying my Chanel cosmetics, fragrances and only will I could afford Chanel clothes and handbags.
Hi Yvonne!
I think for me I can separate who she was as a person from what the brand is today. I also dream of buying Chanel bags and shoes! 😂
This was quite eye opening! Complicated indeed! Ugg..You know I think this is a cautionary tale of the nature of people. She didn’t start Chanel with racist ideals and intent but she developed then through dealings with people, creating a whole mindset from that one experience. They say the worst thing about Nazi Germany was that this was a supposed society of enlightenment and brilliance..and yet they could commit the most vile crimes against humanity. As an African American I know Walt was not particularly fond of blacks right and yet I still love Disney films. The brand of Disney evolved after his passing as I believe the same is true for the brand Chanel. So I do think Allison you can separate the brand from the artist IF the brand is not rooted in that hatred itself. Excellent presentation, you really did your research!
Thank you so much Christina! I totally agree with you. I think people like Walt and Chanel created things that we can appreciate today and still call out their racist or antisemitic behaviour. I think with people like them, since they are no longer alive today, they themselves don't benefit from us supporting their brands because we are not trying to support them directly, rather the companies they left behind.
Ally, I took my time to digest this video and I listen to it up to three times.. 😂😂 I didn’t want to miss any detail.. It was the best report on Coco Chanel ‘s life I’ve ever heard.. thank you for that rich investigation and interpretation that you have made on her life.. and yes .. I have always had this ambiguity about her. I like her esthetic but not her ethics.. 😘😘😘😘😘
Hi Ivana! I'm happy you were able to digest the information without too much indigestion 😂I agree with you completely. I like the brand, maybe not her so much as a person.
HI !! I had to wait till today to watch the video because I was so busy and I felt this video needed my complete attention and you did a great job !!! Question the Chanel makeup line did she had any part on it or was it released after her passing ?
Thank you so much Ana! It turns out she actually came out with some cosmetics as early as the 1920s, mostly face creams and some makeup.
Yes we should separate her art and her life , im not agreed about her choice with nazi , i dont know what to think about this .. but chanel have the greatest talent here . And i love her so much ❤️ you are amazing Allison, love your video
Sarah-Kim Nguyen Thank you so much Sarah-Kim! 😁
Very well done!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for this informative series! It is clearly well researched, informative and entertaining. Who owns the Chanel label today?
My pleasure Beth! I believe the company is still in the Wertheimer family.
Wow.. what a history..thanks for researching
Kathy K My pleasure Kathy 😁
Hi Ally, beautiful exposition. Thank you. Chanel's history is not new to me. Since being a Fashion designer myself, I came across it many times. Personally, I definitely think that we can divide one's creations from the person itself. The moment there is a product, even though I created it, it has the life of it's own. It is a separate object and does not share a life, believes, etc of the creator, especially given the fact that the objects are not alive, so don't "think". Today, though the Fashion house still carries her name, in fact has little to do with her. Different people own it, different people work within it. As for Chanel being anti-Semitic: let's not forget, that she was ignorant, uneducated women, who was driven by survival mainly. And if British upper society, which was very educated, was anti-Semitic, why wouldn't she? As for British aristocracy-not surprisingly either. It is so deeply rooted in whole Europe, some countries less, others more, but Europe is Anti-Semitic, period. Blame religion, prejudices and fear of unknown.
Hi Ella!
I love your thoughts on dividing creations from the designer, it was beautifully put and it makes a lot sense. I'm inclined to believe that as well. And I'm also inclined to believe you as well when it comes to British upper society and Europe as well. It's a sad unfortunate fact.
@@AllisonChase Thank you, Ally :).
Very good comment. Her early upbringing explains a lot, and I do think creations take on a life of their own from their creators.
Hi Allison, thank you for this very informative video about the life of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel. I don't blame her one bit for being a mistress or associating with wealthy men to survive and get ahead. The deck was stacked against her, so she did what she had to do. As far as being anti Semitic and working as a nazi spy, I do not approve or applaud it but wonder if she thought it was a way for her to gain respect from the ruling political power at the time. She probably never thought Germany would lose the war and wanted to be highly regarded by the Nazi's once it was over. Do you think she could have made this decision to be a Nazi sympathizer and spy to ensure her own survival?
Donna Drane Hi Donna! I think it’s perfectly reasonable to think that a lot of her decisions were based on survival instincts.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Love this series!! So entertaining as I used my NuFace and did a moisture mask. 🤣🤣 I do not judge her. Was a terrible time to be a woman. The anti-Semitic part of her life might have been driven by the sour taste of the men who stole her business profits. Plus, the crowd she ran with during that difficult time. We don’t really know how she was drawn in. Could have been as simple as the fear of losing everything and going back to a poor, hopeless life from her beginnings. Who knows. Its much different for women today. Thank you, Lord! 🙌
Lisa Crane Hi Lisa! Omg we are so lucky to be women in 2020 and not 1883 😂🤣 We are truly blessed now. You might be right, I think she may have lived in constant fear of being pulled back into a life of poverty.
This was great. I really enjoyed it. U r amazing. We should separate the artist from the art.
Thank you so much Vida! 😁
I don’t judge Coco and am a huge admirer of her. She is an inspiration for women who are entrepreneurs now. If she could do it, by using her passion, intelligence and network in those times, we can definitely do it. She was a woman of incredible strength, alone, depending on the ones she trusted. Those were hard times but her boldness made her famous and her fashion is still worn. No other designer of her time achieved that.
Very interesting.
Yes!
Thanks for your CoCo Chanel story , I really love ur necklace, how can I find it at Chanel brand please ??
Thank you! I don't remember what name it is because it's several years old but it's Chanel.
Hello Miss Chase, first please forgive me for my English, I will make a lot of mistakes. I hope you will still understand me !
:-)
I'm french and I have discovered your channel recently.
Your post are very pleasant to watch and your beauty histories are very quality, specially this one. You give good advices.
In this difficult period your good mood is a real pleasure.
So I just want to thank you :-)
I hope you're in good health, as well as your family.
Have a good day ! (here it's 9 pm... :-). )
Magali
Bonjour Magali!
Your English is great, don't worry about it 😉I'm so glad you enjoy this series and that it can bring you something delightful in these difficult times. Bisous 😘
I would agree from looking into and reading past history, that Chanel was probably a collaborator and lived on the backs of the Paris Ritz. The Managers (a couple) of the Ritz were extremely brave as they worked with the French Resistance during the war, whilst managing and living under the same roof as the high echelon German Officers, including Goering. Maybe it was survival and the love of a man during this time.
Another brilliant and captivating video, you are so good at this! Wow I did not know about her antisemitism and sympathies for the nazis....I have to say I am disappointed as I only knew the other fashion details you gave, jersey, colour black, different and more modern silhouette for the 20s...etc
I don’t think it changes my mind regarding buying CHANEL for make up and perfumes as there are different people holding and working for the brand now . But yes, I am disappointed and I will remember it.
Thank you so much!
A lot of these were new to me as well! So shocking! I was also disappointed in her personal choices, but I think who she was as a person is different than what the brand is today.
WOW! How creepy! She was heinous. This was SO fascinating! Sometimes the more you know about idols the less you idolize them. It's marvelous that you were so honest and did not sugar coat it. Thank you, Alli! You look beautiful.
Thank you Missy! I didn't feel like I could just skip over information that I discovered 🤷🏻♀️
Can you also make a documentary about Cartier and Tiffany’s, please
This is very interesting is there a book about this?
Thank you! Yes there is a book by Hal Vaughn Rhys very good and I also listed in the description box all the articles that I used as sources.
Great video again. I was shocked of her nazi past. I did not know. I almost want to banned Chanel. But the present designers and employers are not responsabele for Coco’s past. Then we also must not buy Volkswagen cars or Bayer medicines. But it still gives me a bad feeling.
Hi Anita.
You're so right about everything. A lot of these companies that we use everyday have complicated histories.
❣️👏
😘🥰
She really had to go through all... The turn of the century, the first and second world wars, let us not forget the recess between the two wars!
Honestly, before Brexit, COVID and the current Russian offence I probably would've been more judgemental, than I am now. Our economy is plunging and all I can have hope in is actually an absolute crash otherwise it is just a never ending suffering. And this is still nothing compared to the hardships of her life.
She was definitely an opportunist and so am I, when given I like to make the most out of it. But at any cost? Not sure. We also can't know how she actually felt about the things she did choose to allegedly do.
I think art can be separated from artist, however depends on the art :D very subjective, but I'd like to point out that there is art out there with specifically political expressions (not necessarily propaganda, but an artist's own source of creation!) And plenty of art which might actually encourage certain beliefs with the intention of making an impact, and an infinitely vast amount of art with subconscious bias.
Now what I don't think is okay to do, is to reject everything (art and other creations/inventions) because of their creator's morals. Our morals as humans have evolved and keep evolving hence the ends of pagans, the age of enlightenment and now wokeness, in my opinion we'll strive to always find the highest moral ground, but should not judge those before us, because they haven't yet lived through and learnt from what was already there for us, now.
I choose to believe that she decided to support that war criminal because of simple love, and not because of the support of a system invented by an absolute madman.
Thank you for this video and all your research!
My pleasure! I also think it’s possible to separate the art from the artist but I still judge her for her Nazi choices 🤷🏻♀️
