This is  for the women of our Age – our mothers, grandmothers. In this period   there was nothing in the shops, we was waiting for the new magazine  “Burda”, to sew our dress, jacket or trousers. The ladies were different and Individualists stood out … They are taught to construct themselve, be creative and devise and all this was achieved with hard work and imagination, creativity.

My inspiration for this publication was after reading the biography of Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel. Author is  Lisa Chani, which makes  three year detailed study of her life surrounded in mystery. For me, this book was interesting, because I’m immersed in the time of my grandmother, France, the two World Wars. A complex, difficult and controversial time for the construction of individuals. The book  connected me with Arthur Capel, Visconti, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Cocteau, Dimitri Pavlovich, Schiaparelli, Von Dinklage and many others.

 A little known fact that the French woman is one of the main culprits short hair came into vogue – in 1917 Coco accidentally singed locks on the gas stove.

Life of this lady gave the women a freedom to be themselves, be inspired several filmmakers in Hollywood.
