In our conclusion of the life and times of Coco Chanel, we travel through the years 1936 to the end of her life in 1971, and a little beyond too. With the passing of time, more has come to light about Coco's affair with a German spy, and her associated work with the Nazis through WW2. Surprisingly, there are no real consequences ultimately from this time, and after laying low for a while, Coco has a whole second act and comeback in the United States. She is a lady with a complicated life and a complicated legacy. Continue your investigation with ad-free and bonus episodes on Patreon!

In this continuation of the life and times of Coco Chanel, we take the legendary designer through the Roaring 20s to the mid-1930s. This was an action packed time in her life, including even more expansion into a fragrance line, an entrée into London high society, a few high profile love affairs, two bad business deals, and a love nest in Scotland as well. Ride along for this decade plus in her life, possibly the best one as the shadows of war are creeping in for our finale, in which Coco will do a little bit more than dabble into Fascism.

Elisa Suokon esikoisromaani taoahtuu Pariisissa ja muodin maailmassa. Se on rakkausromaani, missä pääasiallinen intohimon kohde taitaa olla Muoti isolla alkukirjaimella. Keskustelemme yhteisestä rakkaudestamme muotiin sen kaikista yhteiskunnallisista, taloudellisista, poliittisista ja feministisistä ongelmista huolimatta - tai niiden takia. Kirjan Le Luxe on vuosikertamuodin elävä museo ja romaani onnistuu välittämään taitavasti suunnitellun ja tehdyn materian hurman käsinkosketeltavasti. Onko Suomessa tilaa puhua muodista muuten kuin kulutuksen ja sen kritiikin kautta? Miten muoti voi nykyään? Ja tapahtuuko edes Pariisissa enää muodin tuhkimotarinoita à la Coco Chanel?
In a multi-drop week here on Done and Dunne, we begin our investigation into Coco Chanel, legendary fashion and fragrance designer, with a little fascism on the side. Her life was long and complicated. Today's episode includes Coco's story from childhood through the close of 1919, including tragedy, so many nuns, and the beginning of her fashion career. Also included are her first two powerful lovers, Etienne Balsan and Boy Capel, who really give this orphan a lift. Continue your investigation with ad-free and bonus episodes on Patreon!

Isabel und Lukas sind erholt und etwas ärmer von einem verlängerten Wochenende aus Ibiza zurück und berichten in dieser Folge in der Kategorie FAMILY TRIP über ihre Erfahrungen und Foodie-Tipps auf der Insel. Lukas muss auch feststellen, dass Isabel anscheinend keine “innere Stimme” hat und im Olymp der Meditation angekommen ist. Sie machen sich außerdem Gedanken darüber was der Kleidungsstil vom DJ Rampa mit Coco Chanel zu tun hat und Isabel ist begeistert von einer kurzen Ansprache Arnold Schwarzenegger's anlässlich seines Wien Besuchs.
Ever feel like you're doing all the right marketing things but still hitting a ceiling in your home inspection business? You're not alone. In this exploration of innovative marketing strategies, we dive deep into how Coco Chanel's revolutionary approach to fashion provides a perfect blueprint for home inspectors looking to stand out. What made Chanel remarkable wasn't that she completely shattered conventions—she simply bent them in ways that felt both novel and familiar. She designed pants for women when they only wore dresses, but maintained femininity in the design, creating something revolutionary that still felt accessible.This same principle applies perfectly to our inspection businesses. When we follow standard marketing playbooks—regular social media content, professional websites, office presentations—we can build successful companies up to a point. But breaking through plateaus requires thoughtful innovation. The most successful inspectors I've encountered find that sweet spot between the familiar and the novel, like the southern inspector who became his market's go-to professional by offering radon testing when no competitors did.The conversation explores practical ways to implement this "Chanel approach" in your business through both service offerings and marketing presentation. We examine when to innovate (start with just 10% of your marketing), how to identify opportunities others miss, and—crucially—how to avoid innovations that seem exciting but lack market demand. For every successful Coco Chanel, countless others failed by introducing concepts people weren't ready for.Ready to break through your business plateau?

Welcome to Luxe Stories, a new original series on SiriusXM that delves into the untold stories behind the world's most iconic luxury brands.In our premiere episode, we focus on the enigmatic Coco Chanel—the woman who revolutionized modern fashion and whose aesthetic style became a symbol of cultural transformation."Joining host Pauline is renowned fashion historian and New York Times columnist Rhonda Garelick. Together, they explore Coco's difficult early years -- how they shaped her tastes and fueled her rise.They also confront her wartime affiliations with the Nazi party, affairs with powerful men, conflicts with her longtime business partners, and bitter rivalries with other designers like Elsa Schiaparelli and Paul Poiret.Finally, they reflect on how her successor, Karl Lagerfeld, rescued the brand from near obscurity, how he transformed it with his own bold vision and unapologetic flair, and how Coco herself might react to her brand today as well as the fashion industry that she once ruled.
Sau khi phân tích màu sắc của hàng ngàn bức hình chụp các vật dụng hàng ngày, các nhà nghiên cứu thuộc nhóm Bảo tàng Khoa học Vương Quốc Anh đã đi tới một khám phá bất ngờ : các màu sắc rực rỡ đang dần biến mất và nhường chỗ cho các tông màu xám. Liệu có phải rằng thế giới đang mất đi màu sắc ? Do đâu mà các gam màu tối và ảm đạm lên ngôi ? Cụ thể, trong số 7083 vật phẩm được nghiên cứu thuộc 21 danh mục, đa phần đều là các vật dụng hàng ngày, từ năm 1800 cho tới nay, màu sắc phổ biến nhất được sử dụng là màu xám than, xuất hiện trong hơn 80% các bức ảnh. Nhưng điều đáng nói hơn là việc sử dụng tông màu xám, đen hay trắng ngày càng gia tăng theo thời gian. Nếu như vào năm 1800, ba màu này chỉ chiếm 15% trên bảng tổng hợp phân tích màu sắc thì đến năm 2020, con số này đã tăng lên tới 40% và đi kèm với đó là sự suy giảm của màu vàng và nâu. Theo thời gian, màu sắc trên các vật phẩm dần trở nên xám hơn và ít đa dạng hơn. Xu hướng này lan rộng trong nhiều lĩnh vực từ sản xuất ô tô đến các thiết bị gia dụng, xâm chiếm địa hạt thời trang và bành trướng tới cả ngành công nghiệp điện ảnh. Vậy do đâu mà thế giới lại ngày càng “xám xịt” ? Tràn lan trong lĩnh vực sản xuất Đầu tiên có lẽ cần kể tới lĩnh vực sản xuất. Có bao nhiêu đồ đạc trong nhà quý vị mang màu trắng, đen hay xám ? Chiếc tivi, điện thoại hay máy tính của quý vị có phải cũng thuộc một trong ba màu sắc trên hay không ? Chiếc xe hơi mà quý vị sở hữu mang màu gì ? Nếu như vào năm 1952, đa phần số xe hơi xuất xưởng mang các màu sắc sống động như đỏ, xanh lá và xanh lam, thì theo France Culture, tới năm 2022, cứ 4 chiếc xe trên đường, lại có tới 3 cái mang màu trắng, đen hoặc là xám. Còn theo khảo sát hàng năm của PPG Industries, công ty hóa chất chuyên sản xuất và phân phối sơn, lớp phủ, sản phẩm quang học và vật liệu đặc biệt, thì màu trắng là màu sơn phổ biến nhất cho xe hơi, chiếm 22%, màu bạc xếp thứ hai với 20%, tiếp theo đó là màu đen với 19%. Đâu là nguyên nhân đằng sau xu thế này ? Liệu có phải do con người đang dần chán ghét một thế giới muôn màu hay có lý do nào khác ? Đài France Culture nhận định nguyên nhân có thể tới từ việc giới tư bản muốn “đồng bộ hoá”, thiết lập một tiêu chuẩn chung cho các sản phẩm để dễ dàng sản xuất hàng loạt. Đồng quan điểm, nhà thiết kế Elvis Hsiao trên trang Medium, cho rằng nhà sản xuất muốn tối ưu hoá hiệu quả bằng cách tạo ra các xu hướng thiết kế trung tính vì nó dễ được nhân rộng hơn và cũng dễ tiếp cận với số đông hơn so với các thiết kế mang tính độc đáo. Do vậy, nhà thiết kế Hsiao nhận định rằng trong xã hội hiện đại, các văn hoá độc đáo thường bị hy sinh để phục vụ cho mục đích sản xuất hàng loạt.Nhưng đương nhiên đây không phải là lý do duy nhất. Nhiều khách hàng lựa chọn mua xe hơi màu trung tính vì cho rằng sẽ dễ bán lại hơn khi không còn muốn sử dụng. Ngoài ra, các sản phẩm điện tử như máy tính, vô tuyến hay điện thoại cũng hầu như mang màu đen giúp tạo ra tính tương phản, làm nổi bật những màu sắc sống động, rực rỡ trên màn hình. Hơn nữa, những màu sắc trung tính cũng giúp người nhìn không bị phân tâm mà tập trung vào hình dáng, thiết kế, đường nét của sản phẩm. Xâm chiếm địa hạt thời trangVậy còn trong làng mốt thì sao ? Liệu nơi đây đã bị các tông màu tối xâm chiếm hay chưa ? Hãy cùng quay ngược dòng quá khứ để xem các tông màu tối đã dần trở nên phổ biến như thế nào. Theo kênh France Culture, vào những năm 1860, quốc vương tương lai của Vương Quốc Anh là Edward đệ thất đã phổ biến việc hút thuốc và đồng thời phổ biến luôn cả việc mặc các trang phục mang màu sẫm như xanh than, để bảo vệ màu quần áo khỏi khói thuốc. Màu đen sau đó đã thay thế vị trí của màu xanh than và dần trở thành màu sắc phổ biến trên trang phục của các quý ông hút xì gà thời bấy giờ. Dần dà, màu đen trở thành màu sắc đại diện cho cánh mày râu, cho quyền lực và sức mạnh của đàn ông. Sau đó, các phong trào nữ quyền lên ngôi, phụ nữ dần có quyền đi làm, kiếm tiền, họ tự do hơn, mạnh mẽ hơn và có tiếng nói hơn. Họ bắt đầu mặc màu đen như một cách để thể hiện sự mạnh mẽ và quyền lực đó. Rồi tới những năm 1920, nhà tạo mốt huyền thoại người Pháp Coco Chanel cho ra đời “chiếc váy nhỏ màu đen”, tạo nên một làn sóng mới trong ngành thời trang bấy giờ. Ngày càng nhiều phụ nữ phá bỏ định kiến và khoác lên mình những bộ trang phục màu đen quyến rũ. Họ tin rằng màu đen khiến thân hình phụ nữ có vẻ mảnh mai, bí ẩn và quý phái hơn. Màu đen sau đó lại càng được yêu thích sau thành công của bộ phim “Breakfast at Tiffany's” với nữ minh tinh Audrey Hepburn thủ vai nhân vật chính. Trong phim, hình ảnh Hepburn xuất hiện với chiếc váy đen sang trọng, thanh lịch nhưng cũng không kém phần đáng yêu, đã trở thành biểu tượng của sự nữ tính trong làng thời trang và cả trong văn hoá đại chúng lúc bấy giờ. Tuy nhiên tính tới thời điểm đó, dù màu đen và các màu tối nói chung đã ngày càng phổ biến trong bảng màu của các nhà tạo mẫu, nhưng nó vẫn chưa chiếm ưu thế như ngày nay. Vậy câu hỏi đặt ra là tại sao giờ đây, người ta lại càng ngày càng ưa chuộng các tông màu tối ? Trả lời kênh France Culture, nhà thiết kế Jean-Gabrielle Causse cho biết : “Ngày nay ngay cả những đại sứ thời trang như là những nhà tạo mẫu nổi tiếng, họ cũng đều mặc trang phục màu đen. Chẳng hạn như Jean-Paul Gautier, (nhà thiết kế người Pháp), khi xuất hiện trên các sàn diễn thời trang cũng thường lựa chọn mặc màu đen.” Ảnh hưởng từ các nhà tạo mốt lên các xu hướng thời trang là không thể phủ nhận. Nhưng ngoài lý do này, chính chúng ta cũng đang “dần quên đi việc mặc các trang phục nhiều màu sắc”. Nhà thiết kế Causse nhận định : “Khi ta càng ít mặc quần áo có màu sắc sặc sỡ, ta lại càng sợ và ngại mặc nó ra đường. Mỗi sáng khi mở tủ quần áo và tự hỏi hôm nay mình sẽ mặc gì nhỉ, chúng ta sẽ lại chọn màu đen, màu xanh than hay màu trắng, để cảm thấy an toàn và yên tâm rằng bản thân không mắc các lỗi về thẩm mỹ. Hơn nữa nếu quanh chúng ta có ít người mặc quần áo nhiều màu sắc, ta lại càng không muốn mặc quần áo có màu rực rỡ.” Bành trướng trong ngành công nghiệp điện ảnh Không chỉ trong lĩnh vực thời trang, mà cả ở môn nghệ thuật thứ bảy, các gam màu tối cũng đang ngày càng chiếm ưu thế. Trong bài phân tích đăng tải trên nền tảng We Present, nơi giới nghệ sĩ chia sẻ các tác phẩm nghệ thuật, tác giả đã trích lời nhà thiết kế người Ý, Riccardo Falcinelli, cho rằng : “Nếu bạn xem Netflix, bạn sẽ thấy có rất nhiều màu đen và tối trên áp phích của các bộ phim. Cùng với đó là rất nhiều cảnh phim diễn ra vào ban đêm hoặc khi trời đang mưa. Tôi nghĩ vấn đề không chỉ nằm ở phong cách làm phim, mà còn vì ta đang sống trong thời kỳ khủng hoảng (…). Trong khi nếu bạn nhìn vào những tấm áp phích Hollywood của những năm 50, bạn sẽ thấy rất nhiều màu sắc. Đó là thời kỳ hậu chiến nên người ta lạc quan hơn nhiều.”Cùng quan điểm, nhà phê bình phim Morgan Bizet cho rằng xu hướng chuyển sang sử dụng các tông màu tối trong điện ảnh đã bắt đầu từ những năm 2000, mà cụ thể là sau sự kiện khủng bố tòa tháp đôi hôm 11/09 ở Mỹ. Ông nói : “Sau sự kiện 11/09, điện ảnh Mỹ đã chuyển sang đề cập đến những chủ đề tối tăm hơn, hiện thực hơn và do đó đã áp dụng những tông màu xám để bộ phim có vẻ nghiêm túc hơn. Xu hướng mới này cũng đánh dấu sự cắt đứt với những năm 1980 và 1990, khi các bộ phim chủ yếu tập trung vào các cảnh hành động, tuổi thơ hay hoài niệm.” Ngoài ra, việc màu sắc trong các bộ phim ngày càng tối và thường không mấy rực rỡ hay tương phảncòn xuất phát từ cách dựng phim hiện đại. Ngày nay các bộ phim thường có tiết tấu nhanh và gấp gáp hơn, với rất nhiều tình tiết diễn ra liên tục. Và với cách dựng phim như vậy, các bảng màu rực rỡ và nổi bật sẽ không còn phù hợp. Ông Jean-Baptiste Massuet, chuyên gia trong lĩnh vực lý thuyết điện ảnh, giải thích trên đài France Culture : “Đôi mắt cần thời gian để làm quen với từng màu sắc trong mỗi cảnh quay. Tuy nhiên trong phim ảnh hiện nay, các cảnh quay lại được thay đổi liên tục với tiết tấu dồn dập. Do vậy, nếu màu sắc trong những cảnh phim này quá tương phản nhau, thì mắt người xem sẽ liên tục phải điều tiết để cố gắng hiểu chuyện gì đang xảy ra. Trong khi đó nếu màu sắc được làm dịu đi, trung tính hơn, thì đoàn làm phim sẽ dễ dàng cắt cảnh và có thể dựng phim với nhịp điệunhanh và đứt quãng.” Ngoài ra, màu sắc mờ nhạt và tối tăm cũng mang lại một lợi thế cho đạo diễn: che giấu những khuyết điểm trong xử lý hình ảnh và hiệu ứng, nhất là khi mà phim ảnh ngày nay sử dụng nhiều kỹ xảo hình ảnh. Bà Isabelle Barrière, kỹ thuật viên hậu kỳ, giải thích : “Các hiệu ứng kỹ xảo trong phim ảnh khi nhìn trong bóng tối hay dưới mưa sẽ ít bị chú ý và nhìn thật hơn so với khi có ánh nắng mặt trời.”Dù xuất phát từ các nguyên nhân chủ quan hay khách quan, thì ta cũng thấy rằng ngày nay những màu sắc rực rỡ, sống động đang dần phải nhường chỗ cho những gam màu tối, trung tính và mờ nhạt. Điều này liệu có gây ra ảnh hưởng gì đến tinh thần của chúng ta hay không ? Tưởng tượng quý vị đang đi bộ trên một con đường với các tòa nhà mang màu sắc ảm đạm, ô tô thì chỉ đen và trắng, nhìn sang quần áo của bản thân và những người xung quanh cũng lại một gam màu tối, liệu cảm xúc của quý vị có trở nên u ám theo ? “Bầu trời xanh dần chuyển xám, niềm hứng khởi cũng không còn, vì nay là một ngày tồi tệ” (Trích lời bài hát Bad day - Daniel Powter).

Unwritten Style: How Street Influence Frees Us from Fashion Rules with Dawn Pedersen, Co-Founder & Creative Director at Trendzine/TRENDZOOM In this episode, I'm joined by Dawn Pedersen—trend forecaster, co-founder of Trendzine, and Creative Director at TRENDZOOM. Dawn's expertise is in reading the cultural landscape: she draws inspiration from street style, mood, and the echoes of past trends to predict where fashion is heading next. We dive into the powerful influence of what real people are wearing on the street and how this collective mood shapes not just trends, but how we all feel about getting dressed. As Dawn explains, street style has become a global language of self-expression, reflecting shifts in music, art, technology, and culture. Fashion is no longer dictated by magazines or the runway alone—instead, inspiration is everywhere, and anyone can find their people and their style online. We discuss the liberating shift away from being told what we “should” wear, and how digital communities give us the freedom to curate a wardrobe that feels authentic and personal. This episode is packed with insight on building a wardrobe that reflects who you are, not just what's “in.” We also go on a journey through fashion history, from Coco Chanel's revolutionary impact in the 1920s—freeing women from restrictive clothing and championing comfort and self-expression—to the present day, where every era's mood can be recognized in a single photograph. We explore how fashion is always a product of its time and place, influenced by everything from film to politics to street culture. Key Topics: How street style predicts and reflects the collective mood The end of being “slaves to trends” and the rise of authentic personal style The digital revolution in finding style inspiration and community Fashion as a mirror of cultural, social, and artistic movements The ongoing legacy of icons like Coco Chanel in shaping how we dress today Whether you're a fashion lover, a trend-watcher, or just want to feel more at home in your own wardrobe, this episode will help you see your clothes—and your influences—in a whole new light.

Does the life of famed fashion designer Coco Chanel really qualify as a true crime story, or is it more a narrative of survival and resistance? Some think she's a feminist icon, some consider her a Nazi spy. Whatever the case, her cultural influence is impossible to deny, and her life story couldn't be a better fit for Tres Paris Month. Christopher and Eric serve up the riveting documentary film COCO CHANEL: UNBUTTONED, which has the special distinction of including scores of glamorous, fabulous interview subjects with whom they'd kill to have lunch.
Send us a textThe seemingly simple question of what we wear to bed reveals surprising insights into our personalities, cultural history, and family dynamics. From matching sets to mismatched comfort wear, our pajama preferences speak volumes about who we are.Did you know the word "pajama" originated from Hindi? Or that in Western culture, pajamas were initially a status symbol demonstrating wealth and cleanliness? These comfy garments have a surprisingly rich history that we unpack with enthusiasm and personal anecdotes.We share our contrasting sleepwear approaches - one of us exclusively wears coordinated matching sets while the other prefers oversized t-shirts paired with men's pajama pants (for the essential pockets!). This difference extends to when we change into pajamas - some of us switch early in the evening while others reserve them strictly for sleeping. We explore family traditions around matching Christmas pajamas and how these evolve as children grow up, wanting more independence in their sleepwear choices.The conversation takes unexpected turns as we discuss surprising statistics (74% of people sleep in pajamas multiple times per week - what about the rest?), celebrity influence on pajama styles (thank you, Coco Chanel!), and practical concerns about different sleepwear options. Along the way, we try an unusual pink lemonade Kit Kat and share our weekly highs and lows, creating the intimate, conversational experience our listeners love.Follow us on Instagram and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts for more candid conversations about life's everyday experiences and the surprising depths they reveal!Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

Personal style is fascinating to me. My own experience has been an empowering journey of discovering and embracing my true self through fashion. In this episode, I explore personal style through the lens of two iconic women: Coco Chanel and Dolly Parton. Chanel's minimalist elegance contrasts with Parton's bold glamor, yet both women embody the principle of dressing for oneself. Listen in as I share my journey from restrictive fashion choices in my Southern upbringing to a liberated sense of style after moving to California. Now That You Ask is a podcast that looks at topics that range from death to desire, and from wondrous to downright whacky.

Dressing well is a form of good manners.” Tom Ford “Fashion is not necessarily about labels. It's not about brands. It's about something else that comes from within you.” Ralph Lauren “What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contact is so quick.

Beau Shipley and Keeby Styles barely survive the WWI battle of the Meuse-Argonne. Beau returns to Charleston in a fatalistic attempt to stop his former girlfriend's wedding to a rival, while Keeby remains in Paris to become a writer.Beau discovers that time, the war, the Spanish Flu, and a dark family secret have left the Charleston he remembered unrecognizable, so he returns to Paris to live as a painter.On separate but intertwining paths, Beau and Keeby are swept up in what Gertrude Stein called the Lost Generation, two aspirants mired in the panoramic parade of ambitious expats seeking fame and fortune in the world of arts and letters.Then, drunken and desperate, Beau one night makes a fateful choice that will change both their lives—forever.22 Rue Montparnasse is a tale about high aspirations and bad decisions, with cameo appearances by the likes of Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, Tsugahiro Foujita, Ernest Hemingway, Georges Brach, Amedeo Modigliani, Misia Sert, Coco Chanel, and Ezra Pound.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Encomienda a Jehová tu camino, confía en él y él hará» (Salmos 37: 4-5).Antiguamente, los padres ponían nombres a sus hijos según los rasgos de carácter que querían ver reflejados en ellos. Pero Dios cambio el nombre a algunos personajes de la Biblia en virtud de los planes que él tenía para ellos; y Dios tenía planes para Sarai, a quien llamó Sara. Ella había recibido las indicaciones de la promesa y del cambio de su nombre por medio de su esposo, pero ella aún no había sido testigo de una manifestación divina. El propósito de la visita del Señor a Abraham era precisamente fortalecer la fe de Sara y prepararla para el momento que había esperado toda su vida.Escondida detrás de las cortinas de la tienda, escuchaba la conversación que su esposo mantenía con los forasteros. La pregunta hecha a Abraham: «¿Dónde está Sara, tu esposa?», debió hacer que ella se sorprendiera mucho. ¿Cómo podían los forasteros saber su nombre? Esto aumentó su curiosidad de saber qué fin tendría la conversación y lo que escuchó a continuación la dejó perpleja. «¿Qué yo tendré un hijo?»-Pensó para sí, seguido de una muda sonrisa mientras seguía escuchando en secreto, o al menos eso pensaba. De pronto uno de los forasteros dijo: «¿Por qué se ha reído Sara dudando si es verdad que tendrá un hijo?» Puedo imaginar que la curiosidad y la sonrisa huyeron siendo sustituidos por el miedo y la vergüenza. Sara tuvo que salir de su escondite y ser confrontada por Dios, el cual preguntó: «¿Hay algo difícil para Dios?»Es como preguntarnos si hay alguna confección difícil para Coco Chanel, o si hay una cirugía difícil para el doctor Ben Carson. Pero en este caso es Dios el que pregunta: «¿Hay algo difícil para mí?»La buena noticia es que si Sara pudo concebir un hijo a sus 90 años, cuando en su cuerpo no había ovulación, Dios puede hacer que tu problema o angustia sean resueltos, aunque humanamente ya no haya solución. No dudes, no te rías ni un poquito. Dios dijo que la promesa se cumpliría en un tiempo preciso y así fue. Dios tiene sus tiempos para cumplir en sus hijos sus promesas de auxilio y restauración. Hoy es un buen día para confiar en él.

Snart tar Matthieu Blazy över som chefsdesigner på modehuset Chanel. Hur ska han förvalta arvet efter Coco Chanel och Karl Lagerfeld? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Chanel är ett av världens största modemärken. Det är dessutom privatägt. Men det som är verkligt unikt är att märket bara har haft tre designers under hela sin 115 år långa historia: Gabrielle ”Coco” Chanel som grundade märket 1910, Karl Lagerfeld som började blåsa nytt liv i det 1982 och Virginie Viard, som var Lagerfelds närmsta medarbetare och fortsatte jobba i hans anda, efter att Lagerfeld dog 2019.Snart tar modehusets fjärde chefsdesigner Matthieu Blazy över. Vad kan vi förvänta oss av hans tillträde och hur ska han förvalta arvet efter giganterna Coco Chanel och Karl Lagerfeld. Det diskuterar Susanne Lung och Samanda Ekman i veckans Samtal med Stil.
In this week's episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Elizabeth Solaru, a multi award-winning luxury business consultant and author of ‘The Luxpreneur'. Elizabeth shared her remarkable journey from a scientist, to headhunter, to world renowned cake artist, to luxury consultant!

We also explored inspiring examples from the luxury industry, illustrating the unique vision and perspective women consultants can bring to their business. In this episode: [00:00:00] Elizabeth shares her transition from scientist and headhunter to luxury business consultant. [00:03:12] Discussion on the characteristics and psychology of the luxury market and its clients. [00:04:43] How successful luxury founders like Coco Chanel and Louis Vuitton viewed their industries differently. [00:06:42] The need for women to acknowledge their worth in high-ticket consulting. [00:07:48] The significance of valuing time in consulting and understanding client perceptions. [00:08:52] The evolving luxury market and the importance of diverse perspectives in leadership. [00:11:12] Elizabeth encourages women to embrace their unique viewpoints and skills in the luxury space. [00:14:57] Advice on navigating rejection and finding high-ticket clients through targeted strategies. [00:16:31] Elizabeth outlines different luxury client types and effective engagement strategies. [00:18:03] Leveraging professional networks in corporate settings and combining professional and personal networks for business opportunities. [00:19:20] Elizabeth shares her experiences as a headhunter and the importance of personal assistants. [00:21:23] Building relationships to demonstrate genuine interest in clients' needs. [00:22:38] Elizabeth explains her bold marketing strategies to attract high-profile clients. [00:24:55] Leveraging partnerships and creativity to land significant clients. [00:25:40] Overview of the essential pillars of luxury business: craftsmanship, storytelling, business model, target market, and pricing. [00:26:07] Discussion on the implications of pricing and its effect on client perception. [00:28:49] Advice on targeting organisations that urgently need solutions to their problems. [00:31:46] Introduction to Elizabeth's practical book on building a luxury business. Key Takeaways: Luxury isn't just about high prices; it's about value, quality, exclusivity and the unique mindset of the business owner. True luxury brands stand out because they think differently and aren't afraid to redefine the industry. Many women consultants undervalue their expertise. Selling high-ticket or luxury services requires a shift in mindset to understand your value and price higher to attract serious clients who respect your time and expertise. Selling high-ticket consulting services requires building trust, credibility and connection. Focus on relationship building, such as networking in niche spaces and leveraging referrals, to connect with potential clients in a meaningful way. When people spend a lot of money, they pay attention because they want to get their money's worth, and they don't waste your time. If it's cheap, that's when people keep coming back, asking for extras, and doubting the value of your work. Quotes: “Everything expensive is not necessarily luxury, but everything luxury will be expensive because of the way it's produced.” – Elizabeth Solaru “Seeing things differently is so valuable. And I think women underestimate that, because it's second nature to you, you think the common sense that you have, what you do, is not valued or not valuable, but things become valuable when you put a premium on what you charge. Because like I said, you're charging for your time, your energy, even your aura, because there are people that walk into a room and people feel uplifted, they feel there's possibilities, they feel they can do anything. Not many people can inspire that.” - Elizabeth Solaru “Women will look at a job, a CEO job, and think, 'I only meet eight out of ten of the requirements, therefore I won't apply.' Men will look at the same job and if they can only do three things, say 'I'm going to give it a go. I'm going to apply.'” – Elizabeth Solaru “Something that I've seen consistently in the ten years of my business is that when we're not charging enough, we don't find clients who respect us. We don't find clients who particularly want to do the work. And although it can feel counterintuitive and like you're going to price yourself out of the market, actually, it's better if you want to do deep consulting work.” – Jessica Fearnley “You need to find an organization in pain, an organization that has stepped on a nail or something, and they need to fix it now. And in fact, the quicker you fix it, the more they'll pay you.” – Elizabeth Solaru Useful Links Elizabeth: The Luxpreneur: How to Start and Build a Successful Luxury Brand Elizabeth's website - luxurybusinessemporium.com Elizabeth's LinkedIn Jessica: Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Jessica's LinkedIn Guest Bio Elizabeth Solaru is a multi award-winning luxury business consultant, author, and world renowned cake artist.

W jaki sposób próbowała wykorzystać kontakty z okupantem do osiągnięcia osobistych celów? Czy przed karą ocalił ją sam Winston Churchill? Odpowiedzi szukamy w najnowszym odcinku Misji specjalnej.

Guest: David Heinemeier Hansson, CTO & co-owner of 37signals and creator of Ruby on Rails 37signals CTO David Heinemeier Hansson has organized his life around his passions: Writing, racing sports cars, and coding. “ Why aren't we all doing that?” he wonders. “Why aren't we all trying to optimize our life in such a way that much of it is enjoyable?”Part of the problem, David argues, is that it's impossible to find a creative or productive flow inside of mainstream work culture. Open offices, managerial over-hiring, and sloppy scheduling prevents people from reaching a flow state.“40 hours a week is plenty than most people,” he says. “... So many people today are focused on just adding more and more hours. They're not thinking about how those hours are spent.” Chapters:(01:19) - 24 Hours of Le Mans (06:48) - Amateurs in sports car racing (10:54) - Flow and meditation (15:25) - Mundane bulls**t (18:14) - Optimizing for flow (21:09) - Calendars and open offices (24:30) - Full-time managers (29:06) - Small companies (32:20) - Selfishness and work (40:21) - Taking other people's money (45:43) - Temptation (49:49) - Moderately rich (55:19) - “The day I became a millionaire” (58:56) - The hassle (01:03:58) - Achieving the dream (01:08:34) - Shopify and Tobias Lütke (01:14:50) - Trade-offs and downsides (01:18:43) - The impact of Ruby on Rails (01:22:02) - “I love being wrong” (01:25:37) - DEI and illegal drugs (01:29:49) - Not hiring (01:30:35) - What “grit” means to David Mentioned in this episode: TikTok, Minecraft, Mario Kart, Formula One, NASCAR, Lewis Hamilton, the NBA, Tesla Model S, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Steve McQueen, Jason Fried, Tetris, Bullshit Jobs: A Theory by David Graeber, Elon Musk and Twitter, the Dunbar number, Zappos, Google, Adam Smith, Stripe, Meta, Jeff Bezos, Basecamp, Zapier, 1Password, GitHub, SpaceX, private jets, Aesop, the Pagani Zonda, the Porsche Boxster, Lamborghini, Coco Chanel, LeBron James, Hey, Steve Jobs, Michael Arrington and TechCrunch, Y Combinator, Dr. Thomas Sowell,Punished by Rewards by Alfie Kohn, Grit by Angela Duckworth, and LEGO.

On this episode, we have three fantastic contestants: Laurie, Wize, and Gerald who are here to test their knowledge in a fun and dynamic trivia competition. Broadcasting on the Armstrong neighborhood channel, Jeff sets the stage for an intense game. The familiar theme music plays, and the contestants prepare for their first round of questions. The energy is high, and we're ready to dive into the world of trivia where knowing the unknown can lead to victory.In Round 1, the game kicks off with a straightforward question format, "Brand of motorcycle or golf equipment?" Contestants are asked to identify whether a given brand name belongs to a motorcycle or golf equipment company. Laurie starts strong, correctly identifying Ducati as a motorcycle brand. Wize follows suit with Callaway as golf equipment, and Gerald keeps the streak going with Pinnacle as a golf brand. The round continues quickly with more brands like Husqvarna and Precept, with most questions answered correctly except for Wize, who mistakenly identifies Precept as a motorcycle brand. At the end of the round, Laurie and Gerald are tied with three points each, while Wize trails with one. Wize gets to choose the order for the next round, setting Gerald up to go first.Round 2 introduces the "hot seat" format where each contestant individually answers questions in their chosen categories. Gerald picks entertainment, demonstrating his deep knowledge with perfect answers, earning him maximum points. Laurie follows with the music category, wisely leveraging her expertise from her music podcast to secure seven points out of a possible eight. Wize, with products as his category, scores three out of three on the main questions but struggles with the bonus question. By the end of the round, Gerald takes a slight lead with Wize gaining some ground and Laurie closely following. This sets the stage for the final and most unpredictable round of the game.The final round is a "Who am I? What am I? Where am I?" segment featuring vague clues that get easier as they go. Contestants can buzz in at any time but risk losing points if they answer incorrectly. In an impressive display of quick thinking, Laurie buzzes in on the first clue multiple times, correctly identifying answers like "The Moon," "Coco Chanel," and "Nelson Mandela," securing her lead. Wize and Gerald also make their moves with answers about hurricanes and MRI machines, but the consistent accuracy and quick responses from Laurie ensure her victory. Wize manages to make a comeback towards the end, but it's Laurie's game as she finishes with a significant lead.In summary, Episode 164 of "Stuff I Never Knew" was a thrilling contest filled with knowledge, quick responses, and strategic gameplay. Laurie emerged as the winner, demonstrating exceptional trivia prowess particularly in the final round. For more exciting episodes and to participate in future trivia challenges, listeners are encouraged to visit stuffineverknew.com. Don't miss out on the fun and maybe you can be the next champion on "Stuff I Never Knew"!

Suffering is optional.(4:00) The hurt part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand anymore is up to the runner himself.(10:00) You can't fake passion — someone else, that really loves the job, will out run you.

Failure to reach that bar is not something you can easily explain away.(14:00) Big ideas come from the unconscious. This is true in art, in science and in advertising. But your unconscious has to be well informed, or your idea will be irrelevant. Stuff your conscious mind with information, then unhook your rational thought process.

Suddenly, if the telephone line from your unconscious is open, a big idea wells up within you. — David Ogilvy(16:00) If you absolutely can't tolerate critics, then don't do anything new or interesting. — Jeff Bezos(16:00) So the fact that I'm me and no one else is one of my greatest assets.(19:00) Failure was not an option. I had to give it everything I had.(19:00) My only strength has always been the fact that I work hard and can take a lot physically. I'm more a workhorse than a racehorse.(22:00) I was more interested in having finished it than in whether or not it would ever see the light of day.(26:00) I'm the kind of person who has to totally commit to whatever I do.(29:00) The entrenched professional is always going to resist far longer than the private consumer. — James Dyson(34:00) You really need to prioritize in life, figuring out in what order you should divide up your time and energy. If you don't get that sort of system set by a certain age, you'll lack focus and your life will be out of balance. I placed the highest priority on the sort of life that lets me focus on writing,(37:00) You can't please everybody. If one out of ten enjoyed the place and said he'd come again, that was enough. If one out of ten was a repeat customer, then the business would survive. To put it the other way, it didn't matter if nine out of ten didn't like my bar. This realization lifted a weight off my shoulders. Still, I had to make sure that the one person who did like the place really liked it. In order to make sure he did, I had to make my philosophy and stance clear-cut, and patiently maintain that stance no matter what. This is what I learned through running a business.(40:00) The reason we're surprised is that we underestimate the cumulative effect of work. Writing a page a day doesn't sound like much, but if you do it every day you'll write a book a year. That's the key: consistency. People who do great things don't get a lot done every day. They get something done, rather than nothing. — How To Do Great Work by Paul Graham. (Founders #314)(41:00) When you follow what you are intensely interested in this strange convergence happens where you're working all the time and it feels like you're never working. — How To Do Great Work by Paul Graham. (Founders #314)(43:00) No matter how strong a will a person has, no matter how much he may hate to lose, if it's an activity he doesn't really care for, he won't keep it up for long.(44:00) Nobody ever recommended or even desired that I be a novelist—in fact, some tried to stop me. I had the idea to be one, and that's what I did.(45:00) I decided who I want to be, and that is who I am. — Coco Chanel(46:00) Once, I interviewed an Olympic runner. I asked him, “Does a runner at your level ever feel like you'd rather not run today, like you don't want to run and would rather just sleep in?” He stared at me and then, in a voice that made it abundantly clear how stupid he thought the question was, replied, “Of course. All the time!”(47:00) I pity the poor fellow who is so soft and flabby that he must always have "an atmosphere of good feeling" around him before he can do his work. There are such men. And in the end, unless they obtain enough mental and moral hardiness to lift them out of their soft reliance on "feeling," they are failures. Not only are they business failures; they are character failures also; it is as if their bones never attained a sufficient degree of hardness to enable them to stand on their own feet. There is altogether too much reliance on good feeling in our business organizations. — Henry Ford's Autobiography(50:00) If I used being busy as an excuse not to run, I'd never run again.(51:00) Focus and endurance can be acquired and sharpened through training.(54:00) Exerting yourself to the fullest within your individual limits: that's the essence of running, and a metaphor for life.----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.
