Gabrielle, a Rebel at Heart – Celebrating Chanel

Celebrating Gabrielle Chanel in all her glory has been quite a joy in 2017. In fact, Karl Lagerfeld had dedicated a bag to her for the Spring-Summer 2017 collection and a new fragrance ‘Gabrielle Chanel’ will soon be launched to celebrate her legacy!

A look back at her success sheds light on the most important element of her rise: her name, “Gabrielle”. And as 2017 kicks off, the House will be bringing forth, step-by-step, four films revolving around the themes of rebellion, freedom, passion and allure – a few of Gabrielle’s most knowledgeable virtues. Indeed, the Inside Chanel website will be overflowing with pure greatness!

The great Gabrielle was a rebel at heart, marching along the way of a determined path, characterized by three verbs “To choose, to desire, to be”. She was a woman who took her destiny into her own hands, forging a bright future for herself, full of the joys of audacity, freedom and avant-gardist style. She shaped her calling with her numerous experiences, travels and encounters and could hence put “Coco” on a timeless pedestal. Synonymous with courage and fearlessness, Gabrielle was, is and will forever be considered as a never-ending well of inspiration for all women. The avant-gardist designer marked her prints on the world by creating the little black dress and the tweed ensembles, proving once and for all that “luxury is what is not apparent”. She channeled her inner-liberated woman and transfused her into the world. But most of all, she is the woman who now constitutes the Chanel story! Indeed, the 18th episode of the Inside Chanel series revisits the origin of the designer’s iconic creations, from the famous little jacket to the Chanel look, the Chanel N°5 and the moniker lion and camellia.

The world is hence invited to discover two characters, Gabrielle the liberated woman and Coco the majestic designer. “A Rebel at Heart” is now featured on the Inside Chanel website. Enjoy ladies!
