- The fashion world would be nothing without the groundbreaking influence of French designer and businesswoman, Coco Chanel. The founder and namesake of the Chanel brand is credited with popularizing casual chic fashion as the feminine standard of style.
Chanel was a prolific creator and expanded her brand beyond clothing and ventured into jewelry, handbags, and fragrance. Today, her signature scent, Chanel No. 5, remains one of the most iconic fragrances in the world. But Chanel’s life was also plauged by controversy, particularly during World War II when France was occupied by Germany. But the controversy about Chanel doesn’t stop there. Here are the troubling secrets about Coco Chanel.

The problem with her is not the fact that she was a Nazi spy the fact is that people keep trying to make excuses for what she did and people will still buy her clothing even though they know that she was up to some bad stuff that's one of the major problem with the world today people just don't have any character
We stopped being honest about our place in the world pretty almost immediately....
The fuck does buying her clothing have to do with it?? it’s a nice design and she’s dead Chanel is no longer related to Nazis. You can be a terrible person and yet you literally defined an era of fashion ppl dont buy it cause they have the same belief.
Agreed.
They have no morals either which is why they don't mind what she did.
😂😂😂
The Audrey Tatou movie lied to us. In there she was a kind person. The movie lied
I am shocked! I had no idea. I feel so naive.
Same here. So disappointing
They have zero proof, your still don't know b/c there was zero evidence, no sources.
This is why you never trust a "celebrity", people, let alone what their "marketing"?
She had a file on the Duke of Westminster that she used as leverage with Churchill.
she had close connnections to Churchill and spent time with him at her scottish mansion and may have beeen a secret double agent doing his bidding. Espionage is never striaghtforward.
I visit the mansion a lot its sad to see it wasting away. If walls could talk…
Putting the fascist back into faschion
Like many living along the riveria --she also sacked 40,000 workers in Paris just before the Germans stormed Paris. Talented and incredibly business savvy- but seriously disturbing lack of humanistic principles
🧐So many things we're unaware of.🤦♀️
The more you know!
Yes, I hope you pray the world, usa, are holy and pure and repent; all governments are evil, and much of business and banking, are too. God allows us to have evil leaders, because we are an evil people. REPENT, EVERYONE. ME TOO.
🤦♀️probably just opened the crazy box.
@Melanie Jarrett I understand, and yes many wicked and evil mechanisms in this system of things, and only God's new heavens and earth will bring peace upon the earth.
I was referring to the the last sentence Cassie made.
My initial comment was about awareness in general, "the more we know."
Not necessarily a religious conversation, but I guess I can see how the two intermixed. Just the same spammed comment seemed madame ....
@Melanie Jarrett So out of curiosity, When Cassie tells you to repent to her your ok with that ?
That seems to be "Mocking" God
This is old news ,but people still buy and admire the brand .Tells you about people's values and principles .
You do get that the brand isn’t owned by even her estate now, right? It’s literally just a name. If you want to boycott any and all businesses involved with the Holocaust during WWII, you’re going to find yourself changing many aspects of your daily life because the connections go very deep and worldwide. I published a law review article on the specific subject-litigating the Holocaust (I’m an attorney by training and a judge in my current employment). Let’s just say you wouldn’t be able to use a bank, get a loan, shop for food, clothing or appliances and pretty much all foreign cars would be off limits as well. So before you get on your high horse of smug, self-righteous indignation and pronounce anyone buying products from the Chanel brand as lacking in values and principles, you need to better educate yourself. You should never make ignorant, blanket statements like you did. I’m Jewish and own numerous Chanel products, bags and clothing and yet my character remains in tact. My morals and principles are just fine in fact, but thanks so much for your “concern.” I’ve dedicated my life to serving my country in the military for the last 25 years while raising 4 children with an active duty spouse as well, was raised in two different faiths and stayed observant in both (it’s a lot of church), I volunteer my legal services to homeless veterans monthly, work at my local animal rescue 2 days/week and am a foster parent for my city, accepting emergency child placements, children who arrive in the middle of the night or to keep siblings together when. So I’m fairly certain my morals and principals are likely better than acceptable and above board when compared to the average Joe. But again, your wholly uninformed judgment on a subject you clearly know nothing about is noted🙄
People still drive Mercedes as well.
@@hopflowero6664 yes they do ,ethics means nothing today .
@@fashiondiva6972 thank you for being a voice of reason. Times change. Soon we will be 100 years away from World War 2 and companies like Chanel, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, continue. I hate it when fools try to virtue signal by attempting to apply modern sensibilities to people of the past. Chanel is long gone, she had no heirs even....move on with your lives.
I JUST FOUND OUT about this today. I never knew about this. At the same time, I am not into fashion and chanel stuff. I happen to be watching a series about the occupation of France. And the narrator talked about how people survived by collaborating with the Nazis, but at the same time some people like Coco Chanel conspired with the Nazis and did need to for survival. She just did it willingly.
Paul poiretwas the first designer to have a personal fragrance. Do your research people.
I believe Chanel was about the 3rd designer to have a fragrance line associated with their couturier business.
Great video very interesting
I had no idea about her nazi past. Sad man.
In the beginning a lot of people were pro Nazi. Even some of the royal family. They were of german descent. Look how long it took the usa to get involved.
..one reply..but cant see... yt seem cencor it..
I knew much of this information. She was NOT a nice woman. Talented, yes. Honorable? No.
WHY NOBODY CARES IF MEN ARE NICE
I totally agree with you! She's damn lucky she didn't get her head shaved and be paraded through the streets like the rest of the traitors!
So what? Was Jack Welch (aka Neutron Jack) a nice man?? No, yet he (and others like him) are idolized and venerated for running successful companies.
Just imagine how many people ended in concentration camps thanks to her.
sounds like irony, she did nothing to opress human rights
She was not kind which is sad.
Yeah. Fate seems to be repeating, too with my "Jewish" gURRLs? Go figure one of the sisters also has the same name?
Well that is how she got away with it ? Called a white wash ..
Exactly !
A true pitty I must say
Oh no. There’s a daylily named after her. 😨
Thanks for the sharing. Now I know which perfume to avoid!
NB : "I will bless those who bless Israel and curses those who curse Israel."
stupid conclusion, don't forget Hugo Boss and Volksvagen
Agreed
I agree with you serene 👍💯
Get over yourself !!!
There is no Israel you zionist ..it's called Palestin
Despite knowing these terrible facts about Coco Chanel I'll still wear the little black dress because it suits me, But it won't be any of her dresses or perfumes. Ahh...the dark side to fashion.
I think you mean the dark side to life. This isn’t limited to the fashion industry unfortunately
Don't sweat the details - all little black dresses are knock offs...
The dark side to life.
I took that as "the little black dress, the dark side to fashion" well, i guess so.
Holy moly!
Samuel Goldwyn is Jewish & founded MGM studio in Hollywood. 5:51
Chanel #5 stinks.
LOLOLOL
I was waiting for this comment lol!
Take a bath bum
No doubt, let alone when all perfumes are made of "sanitised" human excrement? Why it's also called "toilet water"?
Nah; smells WONDERFUL!
She was a great designer,,,
period
Petite Robe Noir. Iconic Chanel. She was such a great designer.
How hard was it for a woman to establish herself at that time and now?
Extremely.
Whether she was a spy or not, she certainly was no " looker ".
Damn. I’d LOVE to research what Coco and Wallis knew of each other, when and where and how. Because huh. Two sus women... Nazis.
Wow - I was always under the impression that 'coco' was her father's pet name for her! Though I did know about her nazi smpathising
A bit more than sympathising!
Just looking at her, I can "see" and "feel" it. F*ck "c(r)apitalism" (another colonial aspect)?
They won’t let the truth of CC come out. It’s not convenient for the powers that be.
Such an important video for disclosing who this woman really was. Yes she as a woman revolutionary for her time, but it can never excuse her actions. She shouldn’t get a “pass” because of the time, or because she was a important woman in a society industrialized by men. I will never purchase another Chanel product because of the person it’s tied to.
I had no idea. My only knowledge of her past was that she famously sought out rich men to fund her lifestyle and businesses. Not exactly the feminist icon I was lead to believe she was painted as. "Coming from nothing" isn't the same as "using your feminine whiles to snag money from multiple dumb rich dudes to secure your standing in life."
Nice job if you can get it, but not without recognizing this sidenote.
Being a traitor to your motherland at a time of war is just a little too much for me to swallow!
Tremendously talented
And tremendously evil apparently.
I'm still buying Chanel fragrances though
because you’re Rich,and me I’m poor so I’ll just make an excuse that I will not have her products because of her past.
She got training at the orphanage
So what?????
He. Most celebs are inverted. Those tear jerking stories are made up. Those people are conditioned from a young age.
Welp I already found a new fragrance so I'm good on that.... But that Chanel bag I wanted???? Not anymore....
I was going to make a custom collector doll of her, now i am not so sure…
It's not like your money is going to her 🤣
Shame on her
Even though the photos are black n white no ones life is that way. We can not continue to judge someone who lived in very different times as if they have all the knowledge we have about the subject. Chanel decorated a country house for Churchill in the 50s. It still stands decaying today.
Hello????
She was a Nazi! What more information do you need to realize maybe you shouldnt do that?
The French weren’t Nazis. All the Germans weren’t Nazis unless she was a friend of yours, you don’t know everything about her life at that time.
That is my point. It is quite easy this many years out to see things as black or white, good or evil when they are not that way.
@@Bdhstl95 I suppose you are right to an extent. Although it is true we do not know for certain and have limited information I remain sceptical of her ties to the Nazis. You make a good point and it has changed my judgement a bit.
I heard that she thought she could get them to let her brother go. They had him.I don't know how or why. I 'm not excusing her, but just saying that it might not have been just to save her business.
@@Bdhstl95 Facts.
Based.
OMG! I have bought her perfume and body lotion in the past. Oh well, back to Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds and Passion.
Yea. I had herd years ago about her troubling past. But she should not have been given a free pass. Folks who participate in anti Simatism get cought and are made to pay. That gives those sort absolute permission to keep in doing it. But yes. I had herd about it
Her moms Name was jeanne
I don't know what to believe. I didn't know her.
Despite what you feel about her this woman was smart enough to not marry and be caged up
That certainly was what that era forced women into considering they had absolutely no rights. (Que any Joan Crawford movie of the 40's.)
True. But she still died lonely
@@jodziebear665 we all do.
@@trusttheprocess2833 I dont mean that. Of course we all die alone. I mean that she was lonely and didn’t have many people around. Not something i’d ever want to go through.
@@jodziebear665 she looks happy and even told her maid that this is how you die,she looks happy and satisfied,she have friends,she experienced hollywood life,she have business,I think she is happy with her life.
My mother complained my father's family was prejudice. Shortly after, I found that she was the same. Jewish people can also be prejudice. I don't think we should judge anyone. Let's leave that up to God.
So internalised racism?
You have to read the book. The people who own the Chanel brand and gave her a second chance after the war are Jewish, they still own the brand today.
Even if this is true, not good enough. As long as the brand has her name, it’s a disgrace to the fashion industry. It’s about what the brand represents, and this is obviously a bad look and smell.
@@happytheory4836 Some people just can't leave statues alone. All past behavior must be contextualized within the sensibilities of your contemporary enculturation. If not you will cancel them. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, probably even Abraham Lincoln among them. What I would find immensely interesting is how YOU would have behaved as a contemporary to those you try to cancel today.
@@JT-rx1eo genocide and fascism were never acceptable. Stop making excuses
@@dshe8637 I'm not making excuses. You are the one who has to explain away making excuses for cancel culture.
@@JT-rx1eo 'cancel culture' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Clever and smart. A survivor.
true
Even in death coco Chanel is fierce literally her last words are: see this is how you die" that's so iconic
Certainly fierce enough to be a sympathizing and participating antisemite!
I wonder how fierce the last words and screams of all the people she helped put in the gas chambers during the holocaust were.
Being an orphan and women, through all the hardships and confusion she achieved great. It is never easy.
Ummm... hello Nazi secret agent! I’ll never wear Chanel again!
@@happytheory4836 agreed
@@happytheory4836 op
She was a homophobic nazi too don't forget that part
@@thescrewarchive5283 SHE ENJOYED WOMEN HERSELF
I will do more research on this, but thus far, I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING PERTAINING TO COCO CHANEL!!! boooooooooooooo!
@@misst.e.a.187 yes Honey, I have and do. There’s always other alternatives. ALWAYS.
@@kellyarson there absolutely are! 👍
@@misst.e.a.187 Helena Rubenstein (1870-1965) was a despicable bigot and hated her arch rival Elizabeth Arden.
@@jazzvictrola7104 how?
....and in the end, you cancel yourself.
She refused to give up her well earned fortune to the nazis. At the worst, she was a double agent, providing info. to those in opposition to the nazi regime. Pre WWII, the French shunned her under false pretenses so she lived in Switzerland for several years while managing her House in France. Whilst this vid has some accuracy it is incomplete and rife with insults.
I love chanel purses
It seems so
This is sensationalist in tone and not carefully researched. "Grunge" is an apt name for your channel.
I like turtles
wow...how is Chanel still in business?!?!
She's dead
Also "colonizers".
Uh....why is Volkswagen still in business? Mercedes-Benz?
Oh come on so we're all going to get mad at clothes the girl isn't even alive anymore it isn't like she's smiling down from heaven or whatever she's in that her business is still being run it doesn't matter there just clothes that she didn't even make if we want revenge than trash her reputation it's useless to stop buying clothes she didn't even make. Oh did I mention the people running the business now are Jewish. So all your really doing is ruining another families life in the name of revenge on a dead person.
..
Since she had no heirs, who runs/owns the Chanel company now?
Alain Wertheimer Gérard Wertheimer. Ironically.
@@biljanabiljana2950 Their names say it all? Yuck.
@@TheSapphireLeo What do their names say? They are Jewish! FFS.
Ha! How hypocritical of her to be homophobic when it was widely rumored she was in fact bisexual.
@Meme Page You missed the point. Those rumors about her swirled while she was alive. The hypocrisy comes from her being homophobic althewhile being accused of being of that behavior herself. Was she homophobic because of the slanderous rumors or was it because she wanted her own behavior not to be further scrutinized? Either way, you're right. We'll never know and it ultimately doesn't matter in regards to her talents.
@@m.woodsrobinson9244 Interesting. Just a side note, that may also have been something that was concocted and perpetuated by men in her era. That was a common thing done to women with ambition in that era as a way of holding her down. It could be true, but also could've been a way to "keep her in her place." The same has been said about Katherine Hepburn for the same reasons yet many of her biographers debate her sexuality to this day.
Ofc...
What anadventurous woman she was! Very brave & did everything she could to stay up!
No woman but an inverted man like most 'female' celebs are actually men. Many 'male' celebs who are women.
@@jannetjejo-7855 you think Chanel was a man too? Hmm would make sense
@@sheridan7475 Most of those 'female' celebs so yes. Don't believe me but do your research. Look at all those body features.
We judge Coco Chanel by her designs not her personal views. As if no one else had them.
*She was a traitor to humanity.*
dont judge les YOU be judged
nobody's perfect
Obviously time has forgiven, Chanel will be here with us as long as we will be.
In my opinion, Chanel#5 is a simple hoax.
I will never purchase anything Chanel. She was definitely not a nice woman !!!
DONT PURCHASE TESLA ALSO, ELON IS A LIAR
No woman at all but an inverted man.
Cancel culture is ridiculous.
Yet. . . effective eh?
@@felistine not at all lol
@Melanie Jarrett oh nothing to see here
Says the real "canceler", with the "n*zi" profile, no less?
Well, the Nazis canceled HUGE portions of society..........
Narrator. TOOOO. FAST
Y’all did all this to speak negatively of a dead person/ like who going sue her now? I just wasted 10 mins of my life listening to this bull.
why am I here when I don’t know who she even is?
Wtf?! Lol
Shame on you. L'eau wasn't made until 2016.
I L lo p
She was extremely intelligent, fantastic designer, Nazi spy, slept around like nobody's business, wasn't remotely attractive but the men loved her because of her straight forward in your face personality. She was a Lady and she was a Tramp. She was everything a lot of woman only wish they could be. Love her or hate her. She was CoCo Chanel and never apologized for it.
And now she's burning several leagues under the ground.
You're an idiot trying so hard to be philosophical.
I wouldn’t want to be a Nazi sympathizer nor sleep around. So, no not every woman would want to be her. She was a disgusting person!!
I though it was about cocomelon
Who cares?
Coco chanel was a hatemonger ! Never deserved the respect that she gets !
What does doing business with Jewish people have to do with being antisemitic? Its default ignorant argument of people who harbor racist values 🤨🙄
What? She was doing buisness with "n*zi" and we don't just mean the "German" kind, too?
Well done CoCo! ❤
"Well done CoCO! Being a Nazi spy and your contributions towards the deaths of millions of people is so admirable!"
There, fixed it for ya.
I suspect that working with Nazi’s was her Survival Strategy! She was a smart business woman, and fiercely independent! Her talent shinned brighter than her skeletons in the closet!
yeah-sucking nazi dick was the way to go and a great example of woman empowerment.
quite a bit of judgement of CoCo Chanel on this feed, quite disturbing- CoCo Chanel will be remembered as an iconic woman of changing womens fashion for the better.
She had a crop of hairs between her legs you would not believe.
Whyy??
Did you see them??
Yeah, previous life.
He. Inverted man.
