In this interview, I chat with Judithe Little about ⁠Glorious Ruins, why she wanted to tell Misia Sert's story, why she enjoys telling the stories of those who surrounded Coco Chanel, her research, how frequently women are left out of the historical record, what she wants readers to take away from this book, and much more.

As the new feature film Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale opens worldwide, we see for the final time the elegant, glamorous and always dramatic world of Lord and Lady Grantham and their family.  We also have a chance to look back at the evolving fashion and hairstyles of Downton's characters as they have evolved from the series debut set in 1912 up to this final film set in 1930.  Joining The Gilded Gentleman table to trace this fashion history is listener favorite Dr. Elizabeth L. Block, who takes us from the high Edwardian style we saw with Violet, the Dowager Countess, to the body hugging slinky styles of Coco Chanel we see on Lady Mary in this latest film. We also explore the flapper look, the influence of war years on fashion and how the great cultural forces such as the Ballets Russes all influence the styles of the Crawley sisters. And we even take a look downstairs and talk about how styles for domestic staff were shifting as well. This episode was produced and edited by Kieran Gannon.

Leticia Vaquero y Sergio Crespo recuerdan la trayectoria de la diseñadora de alta costura francesa.

La Suisse n'est pas qu'un repère de célébrités en retraite et de gauchistes en quête de tranquillité dans une Europe où ils sont pourchassés. Le 25 août 1944, Paris est libéré. Quatre jours plus tard, Gabrielle Chanel, très célèbre créatrice de mode, est arrêtée, interrogée et très rapidement relâchée grâce à l'appui d'un certain… Winston Churchill. En septembre de la même année, elle décide de quitter la France et se réfugie à Lausanne. Elle y retrouve son amant, un espion allemand, pour poursuivre quelques années encore une relation amoureuse qui lui a déjà valu des soupçons de collaboration avec le nazisme. Célèbre et riche, Coco Chanel passe huit ans en exil volontaire dans la capitale vaudoise. Entre les suites des palaces de la Riviera et une maison qu'elle loue à Lausanne, elle fréquente le petit cercle des collaborateurs en fuite. Un parcours que la journaliste Marie Fert a retracé dans son livre, Gabrielle Chanel, les années d'exil, paru aux Editions Slatkine en 2021. https://www.slatkine.com/fr/editions-slatkine/74905-book-07211030-9782832110300.html

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.

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.

  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.

I am incredibly honoured to celebrate 80 episodes with these fantastic women who teach me a thing or two about this niche part of fashion history that starts with men in a pajama and ends with women in trousers.

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.

“Without elegance of the heart, there is no elegance.” Yves St Laurent “The way we dress affects the way we think, the way we feel, the way we act, and the way others react to us. 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. Fashion is instant language.” Miuccia Prada “Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.” Coco Chanel

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.

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.

[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.

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. Links:Connect with DavidTwitterLinkedInConnect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm
