Film channels Chanel

In Coco Avant Chanel, a new film about the supremely elegant, achingly chic Coco Chanel is an inspiration to women everywhere.

Gabrielle is credited with inventing the little black dress, the sun tan for upper class women, multiple strings of pearls, the eternal Chanel No 5 still one of the world's top perfumes. The invention of the boxy short classic jacket, tailored dresses and trousers meant women could for the first time take men's tailoring skills and make them their own.

This film no doubt will stoke Chanel fever all over again!
