As Coco Chanel built its business?

In Russian was published in the book by Paul Morand "allure Coco Chanel". Author daily saw the legendary Mademoiselle and wrote her stories about himself, his life and work. By the way, all the illustrations in the biography made by Karl Lagerfeld.



Lady of the big House


Most biographies of Coco Chanel's talk only about her personal life, which she, however, always tried to hide. But about her business, which she loved so much, usually I write very little. Due to constant contact with the Chanel Paul Moran managed to lift the veil over this part of her life.




"It all starts with what you want to have money. Then in you awakens passion. The work has a stronger taste than money. In the end, money is merely a symbol of independence," said Coco Chanel.




The fashion House of Coco Chanel has arisen by pure chance: "I sewed dresses. I could do something else. The selection was completely random. And I loved not dress and work".





Noble work


Starting with six dressmaker in submission, Chanel turned out to be the owner of a huge company with thousands of employees - and one of the first in France began to improve working conditions.




"I arranged for workers summer camp in Mimizan Lando. This initiative has cost me millions, but I don't regret them. They built light houses for three or four hundred women. I paid for the travel in the second class in order not to offend them, and the whole month of vacation instead of two weeks," recalled Coco Chanel.




Similar stories in the book a lot. In France it was first published in 1970-ies and since then is considered the best biography of Chanel. And illustrations for her drew heir Coco, who headed the House of Chanel after her death, Karl Lagerfeld, who, by the way, not only paints, but also excellent photographs.
