>> I'm not going to go all film review style with Coco Avant Chanel because basically I'm not Philip French, but I do have some thoughts that pretty much randomly played out like this in the duration of the film...
...God, there's quite a few women sitting in this cinema wearing Breton striped tees... way to go with originality Susie... though ultimately Audrey Tautou trumps everyone of course with her fisherman's striped tee and leaves us all feeling a bit silly...
...Alessandro Nivola speaks French???...
...It wasn't clear from the film that Adrienne was actually Gabrielle Chanel's aunt (though they were the same age and often mistaken for being sisters)... I heart warped age relations...I too have an aunt who's my age and it constantly freaks me out when I start thinking of the family tree...
...Must.Find.Cream.Silk.Pyjamas... they would surely protect me from the ickiness that is my rental pleather sofa...
...Damn, there's ONE question about that beloved material of mine and a singular instance of 'Boy's utterance of the key word 'Jersey' and then NOTHING more of this material in the film... where was Chanel buying up mountains of the stuff during the first world war and making it all up into nifty shifty dresses... jersey's fashion origins not at all sated...
Oh and my eyes are bleary with sleep and I'm being lazy with "This is what I wore" etc etc etc.... lalalala...
