Fashion never fades

A few days ago I went to see the movie Coco Before Chanel which depicts how Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, an orphan turned cabaret singer found the inspiration to become the international designer she was known to be.

The most memorable moment of the movie for me was the catwalk show at the end of the movie in the infamous staircase of the historical Chanel shop of rue Cambon in Paris. The audience is left to guess the date of this event as the collection could be from any decade, from yesterday as well as from the middle of the century. It reflects how influential Chanel has been to 20th Century fashion as well as the impact it continues to have.

A definite must-see!
