Reading Reflection No. 3

This time I read the biography of Coco Chanel by Lisa Chaney. The reason I pick this book is because I'm a big fan of chanel and have collected several Chanel pieces, so I want to know more about the designer. I fall in love with the brand identity, encouraging feminism and teach women to speaks for their rights. Chanel did not have a prestigious life growing up, she was put in an orphanage by her father after her mother died. Coco was raised by nuns who taught her how to sew-a skill that lead her to life's work. Her professional life began in 1906 when she became the mistress to a french textile heir and racehorse owner. Chanel was unhappy about how women dress in the aristocratic society, and she began the goals to make women clothes comfortable and relaxed as men clothes were. However, Chanel had to close down her business during the world war due to economic recession, but she made it come back at the age of 71 when she launched the perfume Chanel No.5. Her Chanel suit also be well-known in modern fashion-worn by teenagers as well as grandmothers. The thing I love about her is the power of feminism because she's brave to do think that men thought women should not do or wear. Also, she's very determine towards creating the brand even if she failed many times.
