Chanel, the fashion pioneer

The film tells the early struggle history of the fashion legend Coco Chanel, with the most popular female star Audrey Tautou playing Chanel before she became famous. It focuses on her teenage years until she first gained recognition in the fashion world. A simple girl grows into a spokesperson for women's fashion through talent and self-taught diligence. In this process of growth, Chanel's encounters with various men help her understand the luxurious and mysterious fashion circle. Her love affair with the famous musician Stravinsky also becomes a beautiful story of the early 20th century. A little girl from central France was sent to an orphanage with her sister, hoping every Sunday that her father would come to pick them up, but always in vain. A singer with too soft a voice facing a group of drunken soldiers as audience, a young seamstress sewing in a small room of a rural tailor shop, and a slim novice high-class courtesan being kept by Etienne Balsan, thus maneuvering between frivolous women and pleasure-seeking men.
