Fashion Industry discussion, review, analysis, news, and information

It was announced at Cannes that a French actress by the name of Audrey Tautou will be playing Coco Chanel in a new movie about the famed designer.  Filming will start next year, so we’ll have to just sit tight and wait in eager anticipation of this movie! 

In the meantime, read more around the web about Chanel’s life and how she started out:

About Women’s History

Here are some of my favorite Coco Chanel quotes:

• Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.

• A fashion that does not reach the streets is not a fashion. (Hmm!)

• I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.
