Coco Chanel although an Iconic fashion designer, has a legacy marred with the taints of racism and anti-semitism. Chanel is seen as a formidable fashion icon, the ultimate feminist known for pioneering a fashion revolution for women, however behind this glistening facade is a woman who had unabashedly and notoriously supported the Nazis during the Second World War, had anti-semitic beliefs and sought Nazi assistance for her business.
Who was Coco Chanel? To many, she was -and still is- a fashion icon. Not only is she just a fashion icon, but an inspiration, a hopeful dream, to inspiring designers and artists. Born into poverty in France in 1883, Coco Chanel (real name Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel) is a perfect example of a “rags-to-riches” story.
