Step into the classic 20th century

Coco Chanel

Without Coco Chanel and what she did to women’s clothing in the early 1900s, we might be wearing anything. Corseting and restricting had gotten steadily worse for women until she stepped in and said,”Take it off!”

Celia Walden had the chance to visit the apartment Coco Chanel kept in the building that houses Chanel. It was closed when she died and never opened until Ms Walden wheedled her way in and wrote this story. Make sure to look at the photo album.

I wonder if I can declare this as my pied a terre in Paris? So what if it has no bedroom, who wants to sleep in Parigi?
