This is why Coco Chanel never married
2023-04-20 16:00:30 / JETË
Coco Chanel epitomizes the mid-20th century successful woman who was married to her career and never had time to have a family – the kind of woman who was considered a "cautionary tale in the 50s".
However, by the 70s, Chanel was seen more as an inspiration and, quite often, a feminist icon. As Alice Litscher, professor of communication at the Institut Français de la Mode in Paris, told The Guardian, Chanel's "atypical" single status "meant a radical rethinking of [her] relationship with the male sex."
However, while there is some truth behind the claim that "the profession kept her single", the real story behind her lifestyle is much more complicated than that. Perhaps the most important thing to understand about Chanel's motivation to succeed is the fact that she was born into abject poverty.
Chanel was the daughter of a laundry worker and a street vendor. Orphaned at 12, Chanel was all alone in the middle of the world and aware that she would have to fend for herself for the rest of her life.
After all, even a successful marriage was highly unlikely for a girl with such an unfortunate background. All Chanel had to go on was desire, ambition and determination to use everything to make her way in the world of fashion.
Megjithatë, edhe pse nuk e përqafoi kurrë jetën e zakonshme martesore, Coco Chanel pati një numër të konsiderueshëm të dashuruarish, shumë prej të cilëve ndihmuan për të avancuar pozitën e saj shoqërore dhe, rrjedhimisht, karrierën e saj.
Adoleshente, Chanel u bë një këngëtare kabareje dhe aty takoi një burrë të pasur të quajtur Etienne Balsan. Chanel shpejt u bë e dashura e Balsan-it dhe jetoi me të për tre vjet, duke mësuar mënyrat misterioze të “fin de siècle”, ndoshta dhe duke lindur një fëmijë të paligjshëm, të cilin më vonë do ta njihte si nipin e saj.
Dashuria e vërtetë e jetës së Chanel, ishte një manjat anijesh që njihej si Arthur “Boy” Capel. Ai jo vetëm financoi, por edhe frymëzoi sipërmarrjet e saj të hershme në industrinë e modës. Vdekja e tij e parakohshme shërbeu gjithashtu si origjina e “fustanit të zi” të famshëm të Chanel. Sipas “Men Style Fashion”, Chanel ishte ajo që e ktheu këtë element kryesor nga një veshje zie në një simbol të përjetshëm elegance.
Pasi vdekjes së Arthurit, Coco Chanel iu fut më vrull punës së saj, por ende gjeti kohë për dashuri. Ishte gjithmonë një burrë me të cilin qetësohej. Ndër të dashuruarit e saj të famshëm ishin kompozitori rus, Igor Stravinsky, piktori spanjoll Salvador Dalí dhe Duka i madh rus, Dmitri Pavlovich.
Megjithatë, Coco Chanel nuk e takoi kurrë burrin më të rëndësishëm në jetën e saj
After Coco Chanel's dangerous relationship with Hans Gunther von Dincklage, the designer and all her subsequent lovers were not on her level. (After dating a Nazi, maybe it's time to put on the black dress and chill out like “une femme à chat.”)
But this was not the case with Chanel. After keeping the fashion house closed for nearly 10 years after the war – which was not only reasonable, but necessary, seeing that collaborators like Chanel were so out of favor – she reopened it in 1954, aged 71. year.
While the French media were still unwilling to embrace her return to high fashion, Americans and Brits alike embraced Chanel's chic new suit. So much so, in fact, that it's still considered a classic, nearly 70 years later.
