Alphonse was one of Coco Chanel’s brothers. Unfortunately, not much is known about him apart from the fact that when his mother died, he was sent to work on a farm despite his young age. This is probably why she eventually decided to leave her husband and move to Buenos Aires, where she died in 1920. According to records, the cause of her death was Spanish flu. However, it was later clarified that she died two years later as a drug overdose victim. Similarly to her sister Julia, Antonietta’s late life is largely a mystery. While living in Paris, we know that she met a Canadian pilot named Oscar Fleming, whom she deeply fell in love with. The two tied the knot in 1919 and decided to move to Canada. However, Antoinette’s lifestyle seemed to be way too liberal for Oscar’s traditional family. Correspondent, Louisa Clarence-Smith, Property. "Chanel snaps up Bond Street jewel". The Times.

According to this type of fashion, women were supposed to wear corsets, which were not only time-consuming but also quite expensive. In it, Little takes us into a fictionalized world of the real-life Gabrielle and Antoinette Chanel as they struggle to survive a distressing childhood, find their independence, and eventually build their eponymous brand. The story is written from Antoinette’s perspective but reveals intimate details of the life of Gabrielle (aka Coco), the far more famous sister. In 1939, at the beginning of World War II, Chanel closed her shops, maintaining her apartment situated above the couture house at 31 Rue de Cambon. She said that it was not a time for fashion; [30] as a result of her action, 4,000 female employees lost their jobs. [8] :101 Her biographer Hal Vaughan suggests that Chanel used the outbreak of war as an opportunity to retaliate against those workers who had striked for higher wages and shorter work hours in the French general labor strike of 1936. In closing her couture house, Chanel made a definitive statement of her political views. Her dislike of Jews, reportedly sharpened by her association with society elites, had solidified her beliefs. She shared with many of her circle a conviction that Jews were a threat to Europe because of the Bolshevik government in the Soviet Union. [8] :101a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u "Chanel".
