Coco Chanel on a Monday afternoon

She’s got gumption! 

Elegance, talent and gumption, this leading lady still serves as a role model for generations of women. 

The love for Mademoiselle ”Coco” Chanel is universal, and a little known fact is that she first started out designing hats!

Imagine her accomplishments especially during her time, let it be a lesson to us all to stop at nothing and go for the glory!  [Oh! With Grace and boldness, but of course!]
 

Here’s the Teaser for the short film on Coco Chanel directed by Karl Lagerfeld.

 Below are some of my favorite shots I found of Ms. Coco - after all, what better way to start your week than a dashing look into Coco. Bon Appetite!
