Rose has a different view about whether Chanel was really anti-Semitic and on the strikes at the business, but her treachery isn't in doubt, I think. I suppose that she became wealthy partly through her affairs with wealthy men who introduced her to their friends. I will read your article and comment again.<br /><br />I would be interested to know your view about the Princess of Piedmont - I wrote about her on my royal blog.Violahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046603677301666579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14605366.post-33261033995095835522020-07-05T22:22:04.445-07:002020-07-05T22:22:04.445-07:00I was always fascinated by Chanel who was a risk-t...I was always fascinated by Chanel who was a risk-taking designer and dealer of elegance, as well as a confident feminist. She really did have an awful childhood, so I was quite sympathetic at first, but the sympathy didn't last for long. Chanel was fiercely anti-Semitic long before it became a question of pleasing the Germans! Alas she had become rich by catering to very rich families, and shared their loathing of Jews, trade unions etc. <br />Thanks for the link<br />Hels<br />https://melbourneblogger.blogspot.com/2011/06/coco-chanel-from-neglected-orphan-to.htmlHelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
