The history of Coco Chanel - the INSANE full story of Chanel. How did a poor girl from an orphanage become the most famous fashion-designer of the 20th century, and build a business that is today worth billions of dollars? And how did Coco Chanel profit from two world wars and still survive, despite being labelled a secret Nazi spy? Welcome to the controversial life of Coco Chanel - and the rise, fall, and rise again, of a fashion empire. This is the story of Chanel’s multi-billion dollar business, including controversial strategies, great marketing lessons, and how the company became so big and successful. But it all begins on 19th August 1883, when Gabrielle Chanel was born into poverty in a small town in France, called Saumur. We’ll look at the inspirational rags to riches of Coco Chanel and how she became an entrepreneur, built the Chanel brand, and the controversial decisions that helped Chanel become a global fashion icon. Welcome to the INSANE story of Chanel by MagnatesMedia!

I'M BACK
Good stuff. Welcome back
Amazingly put to together, well research and wonderful animation. I wish you best and in everything your going thought.
Hey change the title it is not being recommended at least not for me
young man please watch on youtube Revolution Tyrants and War Who Really Runs the world via Walter Veith at Amazing Discoveries (it will help you piece together what is missing in your video and why she went free)
Is it me or am I seeing fashion brands clean their reputation better than a canceled person on social media?
@Jenny_Worldz06
Fashion is too close to the elite, so has to join in their evil
Always has been………..people really forgive you when your product can elevate your social status
Who do you think made them fashion icons? It wasn't someone who lived in the countryside or desert? I mean come on. Grow up.
Because an influencer is usually just one individual. Meanwhile fashion brands are huge with thousands of people behind them, so their business just doesn’t fail as easy
"I don't care what you think about me, I don't think about you at all"
Wow, what a savage quote
Fr
bro wtf i read this comment as he read the quote
It true n savage at the same time. Many people pretend to not be a savage with savage thoughts n actions.
Coco had ovaries of steel!!
lol but so true for some random judgey person that you don’t even know.
I ain’t even interested in this stuff but u edit and produce these so well it feels like a movie
Lol using movie clips? It’s literally a Jake Tran copy cat just a different take on business
Yes, the cadence and storytelling is quite fascinating.
@@tensinkano6888 no it isnt, he edited it himself, using clips, everything else is his that he edited
@@tensinkano6888 except this channel’s actually watchable.
@@tensinkano6888 r u gay
It’s crazy how the designer only gets a small percentage while the business person takes majority of the earnings when it should be 50/50.
Lol just look at Edison
She tried to get the Nazi`s to get her out of her 10% contract illegally, trying to take advantage of other people suffering, but she failed, some might say haha
That only happened because she was a woman at that time. She didn’t understand the contract and even if she had, it’s not like she had a lot of options. Now with all that said, her being a Nazi gives some poetic justice to the situation. A Jewish family inherited all her wealth.
Failed..... really.... 🙆♂️
@@JessieBanana yup, Cheated her even in a War, nothing changed. Look at the celebrities in hollyWeird who say the same.
"I don't care what you think of me. I don't think of you at all." I feel utterly destroyed by a person that is dead for decades, now.
The Fashion industry is a chimera of glamour. It is ruthless underneath.
ain't that the truth !
Also Godless!
As are most industries it seems 😢 I think as spectators who only see the glitz, we don’t fully understand about the absolute treachery going on behind the scenes.
She was banished from
Paris by the French Resistance when WW2 ended. She had to leave France because of her relationship/ lover of a high ranking Nazi officer. This was a woman who would do "Anything" to survive, the definition of opportinist doesn't even define it. The shame and scandal "Branded" her a treasonist to her country. Super talent with beyond questionable morals! I've known this and it has always tainted Madame Chanel for me. How high can you go and how low!
Yet products named after her are bought in America
What would you have done? genuine question ...
Why did you put Quotes around the word anything?
@@Chewy_GarageBandDad ... because she means, it is in the wrong way of 'anything'. Not in a good way, like, I would do anything to dance with my Grandfather again. That's a good way of 'anything'. You understand? xx..
@@08Stella Let me see if I do. So if you use the word anything to describe negative actions you put quotes around it? xx back at ya..
It’s hard to expect her to have been empathetic or normal due to her childhood trauma unfortunately many people turn narcissistic after said trauma
I mean I don't expect the world from people who experience trauma.. just don't go around marrying and cheating on people and oh yeah.. don't help the Nazi for personal gain.
better DNA editing is important
👍🏿
Lack of Empathy and narcissism are very different things. Unless you're talking about Narcissist Personality Disorder. But only few people develop NPD after trauma
@@demonslayereren3970what do u mean
Chanel is a privately held company owned by Alain and Gerard Wertheimer, grandsons of Pierre Wertheimer, who was an early business partner of Coco Chanel. This company isn't on the stock market.
So it isn't owned by the Kering group?
@@littlegirlblue9829 no.
Good.
As a fashion design student back in the early 2010s, Coco Chanel's entrepreneur spirit and design innovations were simply revolutionary to study about during an assignment given to research on famous influential fashion designers of that era to see what they contributed to the fashion scene. .. and after learning about her backstory and her influence to women's fashion to the point of revolutionizing the women's fashion scene and the release from the corset is just awe inspiring to me. Am I ever grateful for her existence and designs cause now the modern women can wear more than tight dresses and corsets! Though I definitely didn't get to get into researching more about the uh, the more mysterious and unsavory things about her life since the focus was about her fashion legacy rather than entire life back then, but it's nice to learn more about things of her as a person beyond her as a fashion designer and entrepreneur, this is neat!
She didn't really do any that shady other than stealing the logo from a very old Roman jeweler (admittedly, so did Cartier, but no patent existed at the time for it). The fact that she "sided" with Nazi Germany is just a reminder that those that knew who was whom in 1930s Europe, knew that by turning against Germany, they would either be siding with the marauding Soviets, or the peace-averse British that were trying to get America involved in the conflicts any cost (Churchill is on record saying that he desired the bombing of London so as to get the USA involved, and refused a total of 13 known peace offers by Italy and Germany...
It ought to be remembered that history is written by the victors, and any negative connotation about a given side in a conflict, is likely so because of said victors.
The idea that corsets were oppressive to women is a myth.
In separating the art from the artist you end up missing what inspires the art. If one ignores that Chanel was a double down nazi then they won't see the influence in Coco's work.
@@sergpie yeah, I'm not sure about everything that's non fashion related about her especially the nasi involvement since that was never the intent or focus of my research back then during the assignment, so even if the more questionable parts of her involvement in what you said is ambiguous and debatable by different assumptions to this day (I mean her entire life is shrouded with mystery) I really wouldn't have known exactly to what degree how 'shady' she is. Interesting to know more about her outside of the designer, and it's always good to learn more so those like me can be more aware at least
@@effers6854 I dont disagree with you here in general about art and the artist, but I am confused with your assumption on me 'ignoring' her involvement with the Nazi -- is this just a general remark? All I said was that my fashion studies on her following the asignment for a project was solely focused about her as a fashion designer + her contributions to women's fashion, not her entire history or her life so for sure back then when I was 15 in fashion college I have no idea about everything non fashion related in her life
Chanel No. 5 is an overbearing scent. I didn’t ever understand how it was so popular. I guess it makes sense it’s considered her “trademark.” It’s basically a representation of her character and drive in life. Super saddening she helped those monsters. May God have mercy on her soul.
Great video 👏🏼
Oh I couldn't agree more - I'm really sensitive to smell, strong, sweet and especially floral scents give me migraines. I remember I couldn't wait to see what the fuss was about with this perfume cuz it was popular for some time already, and yup, way too strong, way too sweet for me.
It's changed so much over the years. The stuff today is nothing close to the stuff my mom had on her vanity. Or the old holiday stars wore. It's stronger and smells synthetic.
Love love love Chanel #5!
yup never liked CNo5, too heavy and cloying. But it probably created a sensation at the time when it was developed.
@Darla Hays. Her costume jewelry isn’t what it used to be either. The pearls fell off my earrings after wearing them about 7-8 times.
This is such a great video. The editing is insane, and story telling is awesome.
Is scared to relax and therefore too fast...especially against babbling voice.
As a long time fan of Chanel, her influence in fashion was an overwhelming revolution for women and feminism. No one can deny her impact. That being said, after years of heartbreak and disappointment by others I once respected, I can only arrive at one conclusion: you absolutely can love the art and hate the artist all in the same breath.
You should really do some research before you come to that conclusion.
This video was horribly researched and misleading.
@@KS-PNW I’m not offended by your comment, I’m sincerely intrigued. There’s been a lot of discussion in the last couple years about Chanel’s ties to the third reich from different places. Can you please expand on your thoughts and share your source? I’m curious to know and willing to understand
It seems Coco wanted to be on what she thought was the winning side for the business opportunities the connections could provide , later mopping up the moral repercussions that followed by "negotiating" with those she rightly felt could use their personal knowledge of her dubious activities to undermine her career. It's really a not-so-unusual scene in the high stakes business and political world, unfortunately....
For a woman to succeed as she did at that time, with such adversity, is testiment to her fortitude. If you notice, the 'producer' first establishes how she would often 'lie' about her past like having two aunts instead of coming from an orphanage and infer you couldn't believe anything she said because of that. Like he has no clue how, at that period in time, coming from an orphange would have closed doors, risked her safety and well being and guarentee her failure . Does he think male preditors are a recent thing? I suppose he sees nothing wrong with Sentors lying thier butts off to obtain a seat of power in congress though. sheesh. mysoginstic AO.
More like Coco wanted to save her company from Germany occupied France. Her company was one of the very few who stayed open for business thanks to her German beau connections.
@@MF-qf7bs Oh yes, the famous reasonable excuse to work with a genocidal regime and help them in the holocaust: The tragic back story.
I mean, she is truly an icon of self empowerment of the weak and unlucky, nothing screams that more than helping and being complicit in the murder of the even weaker. I mean, she even shares a common backstory with many holocaust survivors from france: they both lost their parents and grew up in a convent. How kind of her to pass her life story to future generations.
@@mshaqed2538 my god, this comment is dripping with venom and I love it.
Coco Chanel was totally a gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss. She was exactly the kind of egotist that capitalism selectively raises out of the orphanage to become a war profiteer.
@@AnkhAnanku and you'd rather her submit to the faith of being female. Nope like any wise male warrior she survived with wealth. And that is something people despise for women
they tried to cancel her before cancel culture 😆
But the Americans saved her reputation and glory
Well, you know the American pension for glorifying greed and destroying what is valuable. ….
This guy literally makes the highest quality videos on UA-cam. Imagine how much times he spends on the research and the edits. Bro your are awsome
Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate whether or not we’re going into a recession and precisely when it’s going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.
I noticed, a lot of folks are making huge 6figure killings in this downtrend, only just that such technique are mostly successfully executed by folks with in-depth market knowledge.
Investors need to act cautiously but remain vigilant in monitoring the market landscape for opportunities to pick up high-quality assets at discounted prices. These are difficult environments, but they also coincide with the best opportunities.
The US-Stock Market had been on it’s longest bull-run in history, so the mass hysteria and panic is relatable, considering we’re not accustomed to such troubled markets, but there are avenues lurking around if you know where to look, I’ve netted over $850k in the past 10months and it wasn't some rocket-science strategy. I applied , I just knew I needed a firm and reliable technique to navigate better in these times, so I hired a portfolio advisor.
@@henrech That's impressive, my portfolio have been tanking all year, tried learning new strategies to gain in the current market but all of that flew right over head, please would you mind recommending the invt-adviser you're using?
@@tywbin It was managed by “KIMBERLY JEAN HEAVNER who I discovered and contacted during a CNBC interview. Since then, it has provided entry and exit points for the titles we have targeted. If tracking is required, it can be searched online.
As always money covers up wrong doing. The principle still exists in fashion today, from the sweat factories to the pedophilia in fashion brands like Balenciaga. Thankfully more people are waking up to it and refusing to compromise their values by wearing a piece of designer 'bloodstained' cloth. Great edit by the way
I was thinking the same.
Thank you for saying this. Sadly it still needs to be said.
👏
Agree..much evil afoot.
Tell them! Best comment ever... yo! Straight to the point. The Darkness is still too comfortable for many - how else are they going to pay their rent and have a SEEMINGLY better "social status" if not wearing something or working for someone that is "running wild with the mainstream"? If you know what I mean... but absolutely everything is moving towards the LIGHT. The VEIL has fallen. People are waking up indeed. Let's hope fast enough, xx..
Why does it seems like all these fashion designers all have the same back story
Sounds like she was in a lifetime survival mode.
Exactly.
Unfortunately
I think your thumbnail should actually be a picture of Coco Chanel... not Audrey Tautou
Bro who edits these videos? They are like mini movies
I love your documentaries bro. I just found your channel about a month ago and since then I've been hooked. I've watched all your documentaries. I'd really appreciate if you can do a documentary on HTC's rise and fall, Nokia and notable tech giants that flopped
Your documentaries are soo well done! Griping and moving, excellent music stores too! 😲 ❤ Thank you!
She wasn't the only one dealing with the Nazis. Henry Ford (Big anti Semite), Hugo Boss (designed SS uniforms), Fanta and others.
Yes that is well known. But it’s not an excuse that others did it too. They all have a big stain in their reputation.
Fanta was taken over by coca cola and that's what kept coke in Europe after the war
Those nazis were stylish AF. Makes sense now smh
I would never buy any designer clothes, bags, jewellery, etc.
It’s all overpriced, and you’re pocketing the pockets of the Werthimer family. They must be laughing at us all whilst skipping to their big mansions
Chanel No5 is a horrible scent, and I couldn’t understand how people would wear it.
Very interesting video about her life though. I really enjoyed.
Thank you
But Bleu de Chanel is a godly scent lol
@@The_InfantMalePollockFrancis allure homme sport eau extreme as well
THEY'RE ALL LAUGHING AT US IS SPOT ON.
I can't believe that Pierre swiftly outsmarted Coco
Kanye was right…. They siphon her own company out of her own hands. Wow…… if you are to do business, be careful who you work with, and protect your ownership from certain type of people……
I really enjoy these, they are so well done! Thanks for all the hard work you put in. God bless!
"I don't care what you think about me, I don't think about you at all." Ouch!!
Right! Even wealthy professional athletes respect their fan base.
In the Versace video's intro when all the models were repeating the same word "Versace", it gave me goosebumps. I really love your videos
This was so well edited, produced and narrated with such oeuvre and passion! THANK YOU!!! Keep up the inspirational videos MM! x x
Let's not ignore the fact that she was taken advantage of, only given 10% of her own creation.
I am glad that she let the world enjoy her dream.
The fact he didn't even mention the affair with Stravinsky tells me there might have been way more lovers than he told us here.
She for the streets!
@@UnprofessionalProfessor
She for business !
How do you think she was going to survive you guys don't think but it's okay for me@@UnprofessionalProfessor
@@serena841yea if you throwing yourself out there and compromising GOD given morals then you’re acting like you’re for the streets with all respect.
I found one of your videos and since then till this moment I write, Magnatesmedia has been my favourite channel...
Good job👌
If we hold Chanel accountable for Coco's actions in WW2, then we should hold IBM accountable for there actions.
@Dakktyrel what actions would that be? Gates is still alive, so anything involving him, should make him accountable.
@@jlr1176 Gates is CEO of Microsoft, Not IBM.
And Siemens in Germany
A dead person is not really accountable but we need to know the historical facts. Present day company is also not accountable of past crimes but again history should be remembered. We can’t see Chanel just a fashion icon but there is also that dark past. Somehow dismissing that would be wrong. We can’t separate some part of a person from her politics or other actions. In a more severe scale it would be absurd like remembering Hitler without the war and crimes against humanity. Everyone who was involved with Nazis should be remembered as a person who was involved with them. It is a big stain in a reputation.
So what are rules of cancelling companies😉
Every video you produce, your editing skills go up another 5 notches - the video quality is superb my man, keep pushing. The only thing is that some of those movies you played look quite good and I want to find out what they are haha.
I don’t blame her for doing what she had to do to get out of a terrible contract. It’s likely that none of that would have happened if she was allowed to enter into contracts on her own.
Literally anyone targeted by the nazis with a once of privilege/wealth fled lol. And she continued to work the nazies till Germany finally fell.
who knew one day I would be watching a doc about chanel. which idgaf about, but its so well made. I am hooked haha.
It's way more desirable making money laundering clothes, than to make clothes laundering money.
Brilliant 👏🏽
I usually don't comment UA-cam videos, but I love your videos please keep them up!!
There is a lot more to Chanel's "true" story, basically she was an orphaned seamstress, a cabaret girl who got deeply involved with the French aristocrats, the English royals, and the Nazis, (and of course Hollywood after the war, after all Monroe who was the most popular icon of her time made big publicity for the number 5) while getting big profits in wars and becoming an international fashion icon. Her collaboration with Germany earned her more profits while normal people were tried and punished...more incredible than a fairytale, maybe she had a "fairy" godmother or godfather.
Her favorite nephew was a French soldier that was captured and held as a POW by the Nazis.
She had a relationship during the war with a German businessman who had a close relationship with the Nazi government. He spent much time living in the Riviera. She tried to get her nephew released.
Pertinent information
It has to be said, meeting rich lovers and benefactors as a career move is more of the path open to women than men...however talented the man maybe.
The Western world has never been a matriarchy and was more of a patriarchy when Chanel was coming up. It is not beneficial to women to have to rely on men for advancement. It is risky.
Hands down the best content on UA-cam! Love your hard work and content.
Thank you for this video and well researched story. I found it so fascinating. You have a new subscriber 😊

Great story telling ✅
Amazing video bro
Hey good video. How can I watch behind the scenes??
Was this video sped up in editing? I put it at .75x and it sounds 👌🏻
The actress in this video portraying Chanel looks like Audrey Tatou. Coco was so smart to design men's suits for women. That time period was torture for women with all those corsets and restraints! Her creations were so liberating!
There was a flash of the movie My Fair Lady with Audrey Hepburn! This video just gets more and more interesting!
Which one
This video uses the footage of the film, ‘Coco Before Chanel’ starring Audrey Tatou, that’s why.
By the time Chanel was a big name, corsets were already much looser and more flexible, and many women were designing, although the few designers to become internationally famous were men.
Back at it again 🔥🔥
Thank you for sharing this story 👍🇺🇸👜
havent watched it yet but i already know its gonna slap
i was right gah damn this shit good
Where does the footage for these videos come from? It's very well edited
I could recognise Cruella
Hi can you share the link of the meal prep ad you shared in one of your videos? I thought it was on this one but I am not finding it. Thank you
Genial, como siempre!!!!!
Amazing Story 👌🏼
Wow...what a lady! Her link with the Nazi may not be that rare scenario. People in power shake hands behind the public's back. She knew what to do with Gumption. I am happy that she stood up for the comfort for women and started from there. That's a great start in my opinion. Thanks for another beautifully presented story!
I have read that she was a spy.
If you only possessed an ounce of cleverness, you would be obviously aware a personality like Coca's Chanel's would have despised you as rubbish from the 3rd World.
@Jennifer Vu some judge. Some do. Unfortunately to rise to a level one does have to play with the powerful. Or not participate at all...
She came with nothing and made the most of it...
Dealing with Nazi or many dangerous people also puts people at risk. From both sides. Nazi haters. Nazi lovers. You forget or skip the part where she had to support men in power as women were not allowed to have bank account. I say...she did great!
@Jennifer Vu says someone who never create anything
@@chiamakaokoye7069 yeah why then kanye been bashed today for talking about nazi and she literally supported nazi like hugo boss , she was talented but also a greedy human with no morals

Hlo Magnates Media I like your documentaries. I want to know how much time it takes to just edit video or which software is used to edit videos.
If you watch the movie she called Cappel “boy” her whole life. That was her nickname for him just “boy”… I think it’s sweet. But he died young in a car wreck
I love Chanel ! Now I love it more than ever
Coco might've been controversial, but so are a lot of men in the fashion industry. She helped a lot of women, and she completely revolutionized the world of fashion.
Might be controversial??? She was a Nazi
Your videos are amazing. Can you make a video on Porsche and about the finally doing IPO
Such a good video 👍
The rise of any multi billion dollars company or great person always start from a humble beginning, lets be Humble and i know we will rise to amass wealth in life, BUT the most important thing is lets still remain humble even after SUCCESS.
