I'm seen a lot of people whitewash Chanel's allyship with white supremacy - claiming it wasn't that bad, or that we should still honor the woman because she helped "liberate" women and made creative contributions/changed an industry. The Nazis oppressed women horrifically - especially groups like Jewish or disabled women. This is a big problem with "girlboss" feminism - a willingness to overlook atrocities because that woman was successful, skilled, or powerful. And I think whitewashing over that is a disservice to those who suffered under Nazism. She did big things, but she was awful.

As a historian, what frustrates me about stories like Gabrielle's is that they're so often presented with no true societal context, which allows for the glossing over of things like Nazism. Gabrielle pushed an unusual number of social boundaries for a woman in her times. Nobody asks _HOW?_ and that's the problem. We present it like she was "just ahead of her time", like women's liberation was a matter of 'somebody just needed to _want_ to do it'. Women from beginnings as humble as hers were ostracized (if not worse) for living the way she did (spinster, financial independence, pushing 'morality'), that's why nobody did it before her. Why was she successful at it? The answer is: she was probably a very manipulative, bad person. That doesn't mean the work she did wasn't in some way essential to women's liberation. But it does answer why women like her who thrusted us forward are often also associated with horrible things. If we don't talk about that, we leave room to not only excuse away her affiliation with white supremacy, we also allow for that requirement to keep existing. More often than not, people who cross serious societal boundaries in the name of 'liberation' can only be ruthless because those with a conscience would struggle to find a way around the dangers of doing so. We require people to be the kind of people willing to do ANYTHING. The reason she was able to break the boundaries she did was because she probably did a lot of very smart but insidious things behind closed doors to cover herself.

She also had very priviledged lovers ,who were willing to help her with her buisnesses and brought her in contact with the elite circles of the time.. I can't judge her,but I think, as we speaking about fashion , her impact wasn't so idealistic as peopel think. And the proof is how nowadays we're trying to fight with the ideas chanel created ,even by not saying it loud! The whole idea of presenting femininity as anti-feminist [the irony] is the biggest of those!

In my personal opinion, Chanel is tired nowadays. They're designing clothes for only one specific body type that not even all their models have. They're continuing to overuse the 1920s silhouette, which hasn't been in style for years and I don't see it making a comeback anytime soon, especially with how both body beauty standards as well as body positivity heavily juxtaposes that fashion era. If they'd take a moment to step away from the two-piece suits with knee-length skirts, they'd probably see more of a younger audience buying their clothing. Yes, it's what they're known for, but it's too "Royal Family" in my opinion, too "Granny's Sunday Dress". Chanel continuing to avoid diversity in body types is what's holding them back from creating modern fashion that appeals to the younger, wealthier audience they've been craving. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Not everyone can make chanel work, but Jennie truly knows what she's doing. When you say someone has no personal style, it means they just follow what is trendy and not what compliments their body and personality.

I worked at a CHANEL Boutique for a few years when I was in my 20s during Y2K. It was a fun job in a beautiful environment and us employees got great discounts on the merchandise even though we were not paid well-in fashion working for CHANEL was 'big name, no money'. I loved the makeup! I never could stand the smell of No 5 and I never understood why it's so popular. My favorite CHANEL fragrance is No 19 and that was Chanel's favorite scent as well.

This was one of your best videos ever. Very well done and informative. I thought I knew everything about Chanel, but I learned some new things. P.S. I agree - Anne Hathaway looked amazing in Chanel!

Putting aside the person of Chanel for a moment, in the 80's I was given a bottle of 'Coco' perfume (not mademoiselle) and instantly fell in love. It became my 'signature' scent'. Then over the years, I noticed it didn't quite smell nor last as long whilst the price went up so stopped buying it. Such a shame, I loved that perfume

The tea will be spilled like there’s no tomorrow. Also, I’m very excited to see this topic being covered.

I can't help but feel that Chanel is going to drop way off the scene for a while, as it has done in the past. We'll forget about tweed and be wowed when someone revives the brand

Funny enough I just did a project on Chanel for my fashion class! I’m so glad to see people talk about the not so glamorous side of the well known fashion brand.

this is why you are such a loved creator - you know how to hit the spot with the topic choices, and always deliver a very well researched video. i hope captions get added to this though, english is my second language and i can’t always decipher what people are saying (ofc this has nothing to do with you, it’s my ears)

This was great! Very informative. Pleasee do Vivienne Westwood next!

We have been eating over here! You have been giving quality and consistency. I love it!!!!

i genuinely enjoy all of your videos but fashion history and opinion is always your Forte ❤ thank you for the vid!

brilliant video! but i completely disagree with boxing jennie in with the young chanel girls who "lack personal style", jennie's impact on asian fashion is definitely something to write home about, considering the amount of trends she's set and her direct impact to chanel's sales in asian markets. she is the definitive chanel girl of the 2010s outside of white audiences.

wonderful video, as someone who really doesnt know the history of these staple brands this only makes me hungry for more. I really hope this becomes a series for other staple or even once great and dead brands

I love candid takes and casual opinions in your writing. It’s obvious enough that they’re just your preference but straightforward enough to consider them harmless. Especially the part where you point out how recent Met Gala looks haven’t been up to par with previous events.

What a joy to watch this thorough video! Cannot wait for more like this about other brands! You're my favourite source of all and pleasure leisure watch time! ❤

I'd love to see Chanel archive pieces at the Met Gala, but celeb stylist are so uninspired lately. Maybe the poor performance of the modern Chanel items will inspire more thought but I really doubt it.

What a great video! Love to see a lot of history breakdown of brands 🤍

I loved this historical break down of a fashion house - so informative and interesting! I'd love to see more of these ✨🌙✨

Appreciate the great amount of effort that goes into these videos

Please do more of these for other designers, this was so interesting and was done so well!! 🫶🫶

Ahh I love this channel when they post it’s a blessing

Been waiting a long time for a Chanel analysis video!!!

You have reignited my long lost love for fashion. Thank you for that ❤️ 🫶

This was really good! I definitely hope we can all pressure you into making more of these 🤣

Thank you again for bringing this knowledge to us in a well-edited and neatly-worded summary. Your videos are much appreciated for all this fashion info. 🎇

I’m wondering if Jenny Kim has control of her designs with Chanel. Cause her stuff is the only recent stuff I’ve seen that looks good…lol

Love this type of video. Would definitely love to see a series on the history of fashion houses.

Just wanted to commend you guys on this video! Fascinating from beginning, to end. Seriously, content aside, the flow, the editing all flowed so well. 😊

im rlly only basing this on her vogue outfits but sadie seems to have a more comfortable, tomboy-ish style which could work in theory but her & chanel just seem like a mismatch! i do think whitney is a great pick for chanel, she just doesn't have the popularity that her predeccesors do

I have to admit I’m always here for Luke/Haute as I call him, he’s so fabulous. Even the music you hear before every episode is relaxing. Keep it up Luc’

ok now I need to see a history breakdown of other luxury brands as well like Louis Vuitton, Hermes and Burberry.

This video was awesome! I’d love to see this turn into a series looking at the history of all the major houses

Thank you for this video. I absolutely loved it. ❤

Loved this video! Would love to see more of these :)

You guys are talking about acknowledging Chanel’s impact but you don’t want to acknowledge it’s history smh

Amazing video! Thank you for sharing passion! ❤

Thank you for presenting an unbiased history of Chanel.❤

Loving this content!! Would live more on other brands!! ❤

Fabulous content!! Thank you 🙏🏻

liking/commenting for the algorithm. great work!

I personally feel Caliee Spaney who is starring in Sofia Coppola upcoming Priscilla biopic this year would be a much needed welcome as a new Chanel ambassador as she fits Chanel’s shorter height requirement and her as a more upcoming actress on the rise then Whitney Peak.

This was really interesting!I would love to see more lik that!

Back in 2019, I took a History of Haute Couture class while studying abroad in Paris and wow... they left out A LOT! 😳I knew a lot about Coco Chanel's past bc of that class but I learned even more thanks to this video, great work!!

As a Luxury Marketing student, this video was well compiled and incredibly insightful. Thank you 😊🙏

Chanel's success is a testament to the world rewarding bad behaviour

Well she was undeniably talented so that was also a contributing factor. I'd say it's more like the world is willing to forgive such behaviour from people as long as they are of a certain status.

Your videos neverrrrrr miss. I just love love love this channel. I love that u put in your 2 cents at the end. I love that u tell us the history and the controversy. It’s just all around perfect. Thank you for existing. There’s a war going on in my country and this has helped me for get for just a little bit. Thank you again!

omg finally these are the kinda of videos that made me fall in love with your channel

I only recently came across your channel. Your vidz are amaaaaaaaaazing! The amount of in depth research you do, and you have a wonderful voice!

Wow this is soooo good please do more of these!

Thanks for the video! So much new information

Thank you for this educational video! I appreciate all the work that went into researching this brand.

this is a scary crazy good essay !! good job moderngurlz

i would love to see you break down another fashion house like this! excellent video!

Love it What an amazing job! Subscribing right now! ❤

43:00 👏👏👏👏👏👏 round of applause for the wording!!! that was perfectly well said and i couldn't agree with you more. these girls have a lot to live up to considering the image of the brand and advancing with it.

I loved this video, please do more videos like this about other fashions houses! I would love to see videos about Dior, Burberry, YSL, Hermès and Kate Spade 😍

OMG! I LOVE THIS TYPE OF VIDEOS!!! We need the story of Halston and Louis Vuitton PLEASE ❤❤❤

Love this in-depth analysis

Would love to see more of these breakdowns on the history of different luxury brands

i loved this video! it was so responsible, thank you for giving the correct attention to the controversies. i really loved this kind of documentary format you've made, i can't imagine how much effort you put into this. i would reallyyyy really love to see it being made more, with other brands and big fashion names like anna wintour, naomi, etc. i applaud you so much! what a wonderful job you've done.

I don't comment a whole lot on your channel, but thank you for making this video. If I had more of a platform and following on KZread and other social media, I would have tried making this video or something similar. But yes thank you for making this video. I really believe that if more people knew about Gabrielle Chanel, her questionable views and activities, instead of Coco Chanel, the Chanel brand wouldn't be as big as it is today. I really wonder if other fashion and style influencers would agree with her views by today's standards.

The woman passed away decades ago. There are more pressing issues to shine a light on in the fashion industry, like fast fashion and how tons and tons of influencers just take the sponsorship to promote them (fashion nova, shein e.g.).

As always well done 😌💛

I love your narration your voice is perfect for it!

Great video great idea I'm waiting for more❤

Ha ha how old is that manga bc while it's likely that the manga references Chanel for fashion, my brain immediately connected to how Japan and Hitler were buddy buddy back in WWII.

@@ffx2fan122 I figured. Japan's actions are still very much felt. Again not to say it is what that manga did. Just my brain connected it. Esp since Japan is my fave country, I'm from a country they occupied, and like looking up on history.

It's very interesting and informative! Some Chanel fragrances are gorgeous, I really appreciate them: Chance Eau Tendre, No. 19, No. 22, 1957, Misia, La Pausa, Bel Respiro, Beige, etc. They smell classy (and very expensive). It would be interesting to see the history of Hermés, too.
