The French Icon Who Revolutionised Women’s Clothes {BBC, via Landen Kerr}
What other French icon could this be, if not Coco Chanel. She wore her own designs and was her own ambassador. Was she the “original influencer”?
“But what is really obvious is that she placed women at the centre of her creations. She dedicated her life to imagining a new way for women to experience fashion… The problem with confronting a legend like Chanel is that there are more than a hundred biographies about her, which talk mostly about her private life. We thought we knew her. But what we realised was that we have a very superficial knowledge of her work. As curators, we rediscovered Chanel.”

I love reading how celebrities spend their day, what products they use, what exercises they do, etc. Amanda is full of positive energy and you’ll feel her sweet, happy vibe as you read this link. You may have heard about Amanda last year as she shared with the press the heartbreaking issues surrounding her husband’s struggle with Covid, and ultimately, his death. Her husband, Broadway actor Nick Cordero, was just 41 years of age when he passed away.
Breaking Up With Friends {From Love With Kat}

Yours Truly,
