I am not afraid to admit that I find
Coco Chanel fascinating.
Hers is a story that is both tragic and inspiring at the
same time and reading her biography brings a better understanding of how childhood events
can shape a child's future.
That being said, Coco's life also proves
that hard work, belief in self and
a refusal to compromise your
convictions can be keys to success regardless
of one's beginnings.
So, since I just finished another biography on
the only fashion designer to make Time magazine's
100 most influential people of the 20th century
I thought it time to give a nod to Coco Chanel,
a woman whose name alone evokes
images of a style that remains timeless.

neck because one happens to be rich. I only like fake jewelry ... because it's provocative."
