Coco Chanel 1969 Interview - Part 1/2

[123Lillifee]

Coco Chanel

[Whatilikeaboutme1]

@tinkeofozoo. I suppose tortured souls are the inspiration of great artists, no? The more complex the individual, the more they seem to be capable of

[Whatilikeaboutme1]

Sure she was an amazing artist who changed the face of women's fashion, but that does not entirely detract from the fact that she was a known anti-Semite and homophobe due to her strict catholic upbringing. While she was a great artist, bear in mind that even the greatest of us have faults. So I say long live her legacy, but remember who she was as well. Don't get so caught up in the glamour that you can't see her for what she really was- a racist, narcissistic, drug addicted artistic genius

[tinkeofzoo]

@Whatilikeaboutme1 the combination of those things is what makes her such an interesting woman

[donnaann2011]

I dont understand what she was saying I do not speak French but I could watch this video over and over I love listening to her speak I love her cloths. It's a shame there are not many interviews of her unless anyone knows of others. I love Chanel

[Beppe161]

Difficile dire di una Donna che ha cambiato lo stile di vita delle donne da molto tempo ..

Be... il mio profumo preferito è CHANEL N 5 ---

Poi per quanto riguarda la sua vita ... non credo che si possa misurare oggi con lo stile attuale...

@Beppe

[VampireMizusawa7]

Im listening and i pretending that i understand every word

[tig3reyes]

No subtitles, soooo french! 

[lenaland1012]

ohhh i need engish subtitle!! :( help!! I love Coco Chanel

[greenybolt]

Elle etait tellement fabuleuse.

[enguerranddemarigny]

C'est pas tant son âge que je critique. Tout le monde à le droit de vieillir. Mais ce sont ses propos ODIEUX sur la femme de 1969. Comme si elle et ses pantalons n'avaient pas fait tenir ses mêmes propos à Paul Poiret lorsqu'elle se promenait sur les planches à Deauville dans les années 20 ! La vieillesse reactionnaire me choc toujours ! Alors ce qu'elle dit dans cet inteview fait rimer vieille ET conne !

[enguerranddemarigny]

Quelle horrible harpie ! La vieillesse, quel naufrage !

[iluvmesomemuzik]

@enguerranddemarigny j'espere pour toi que tu veilliras pas.

[Tigerlilly0777]

@enguerranddemarigny She liked the sun. Elle aimait trop le soleil. Pas bon pour la peau.

[BettinaFromBrazil]

someone add subtitles pleeease

[Nimron12]

Si elle ne se tait pas elle va recevoir une bonne claque, et elle l'a reçue !!! :D

[LaluCrazy]

wish i could understand what she was saying because i do not speak french but hopefully one day i can look through this interview of this wonderful elegant women.

Long. Live .Chanel

[Adler36]

She's very pale in this interview, she made tanned skin famous...

[naghattjamil]

J'ataime Coco Chanel...

[leiwulongtek]

los siento, pero esta hecha una momia la tia chanell

[anafc5]

@leiwulongtek me he reido hasta morir con tu comentario.... jajajajajajajajaja osea la mujer es mis respetos lo mejor de la moda. pero me hiciste reir

[bluesrping]

She said: "nothing looks older than a woman who wants to look younger". Lol, she's great!

[warholbitch]

i will learn french to understand it.

[AsssModeUsss]

J'admire son immense clairvoyance.

[AsssModeUsss]

@AsssModeUsss Il n'y a aucun anti-féminisme là dedans...elle ne se soucie que d'esthétisme et d'harmonie.

[jlmagoya]

La bêtise, il n'y en a pire que ça. Quelle génie, cette femme.

[therealgizemgueven]

III looove her sooooo much. <3 

[tiggrnmary]

@Drax65 ouiii



[MsTytyl]

She looks so adorable! Especially in the beginning :)

[Atemporal]

I think I hear the tune of If I were a rich man at 1:04. 

[dsmcc2176]

@Atemporal LOLOLOLOL

[wild4winter]

@Atemporal me too.. didn;t expect thay

[kizzisamedi123]

she looks bare scary!

[MllxSaa]

Elle et bizare --' , heuresement quel ais plus chanel -_-

[fllorr91]

J'aimerais les sous titres.

[mrmannyman]

she is a ICON

[pinkfoundations]

Im scared :(

[emmyfindyourlight]

@alamobandeira Just to make it clear. The Chine's where speaking English Not French. When I have visited India, They speak English not French. It's not my fault the 2 most populated countries in the world speak my native tongue. I'm Jewish am I screaming at you to learn Hebrew...

[emmyfindyourlight]

@alamobandeira If you have ever done international business. I just came from china,Australia, setting up computer programs. ENGLISH IS the universal language. Not sure what your education is but it's quite apparent you haven't done international BUSINESS travel... Subtitles are used in all languages and someone who was such a great artist as Coco Chanel deserves to have some one do subtitles in MANY LANGUAGES so one can learn from one of the great masters. She is truly one of them!

[misteeq64]

Il n y a rien de plus vieilissant d essayer de se rajeunir

[emmyfindyourlight]

Like any person wanting to learn about an artist, one wishes to understand there words at the very least. When I go and see the artwork of any artist I can find a way to read in my own language what wonders they are saying. English is the universal language. Gottlieb Schick, Jean-Etienne Liotard, Bellini, Donatello, even the singer Bjork who to me is one of the most amazing artists of our time. All these you can find subtitles. NO NEED TO BE SNIDE. Make subtitles. Interview 5:58 min. To lazy?

[alamobandeira2]

@emmyfindyourlight Don't be so idiot: English is NOT the universal Language, and remember She's French and was proud of her country. Stop being lazy and learn YOU her elegant language.

Não seja idiota: Inglês NãO é a lingua universal, e se lembre: ela era francesa e tinha bastante orgulho de sê-la. Deixe de ser preguiçoso e aprenda francês.

[missmatysek82]

what a shame that this interview has not got English subtitles!!! is anybody keen on doing it?please....

[VenusLights]

she says that people who recognize her say hello and she says hello back

[adrianeaglrck]

tres shallow like o my god hair switch chin swag and leaving the room....

[LMOHELLEBI]

thumbs up if you understand :D

[SuperBettyboop40]

and she made decent stuff too!

[pabbxbeowfall]

''Qu'est-ce qu'ont fait en France? ZERO!'' HAHAHAHA ♥

[mounira2026]

"Je ne connais rien de plus viéllissant que de se rajeunir c'est la chose la plus bête qui puisse arriver à une femme.....c'est d'une sottise noire"

Fabuleuse cette Mademoiselle Chanel!!!

Pourtant je n'est que 25 ans et je trouve ses propos d'une justesse

I love Chanel

[ronanmalchene]

so superficial...

[Dwightinho56]

Great interview. Merci, merci, merci beaucoup.

[sirre94]

I would really like to know what she was saying, she is my idol because she jsut kept on doing her own thing and did not care about the opinion from other people.

[urpammie]

I would love to know what she was saying.. after all she is COCO CHANEL. English sub S'il vous plait :)

[bornthiswaybitch101]

this women was fashion is fashion is were it is its because of her.im going to be a fashion designer i wanna be like coco she is my idol.

rest in peace coco

[27loldie]

@bornthiswaybitch101 You and I. Gags is awesome too. I'm working on a pair of pjs now. I love Cocos designs...they make me cry. :)

[Sweetashanni]

@bornthiswaybitch101 I don't know about Idol, maybe a role model in fashion, but as a person she was absolute garbage. Her style and ideas were iconic no doubt, but she was an ugly person, selfish and hurtful to many.... in fact, she even helped to harm Jews in Nazi occupied germany by standing against them and supporting their deportation to Auschwitz. She seduced women's husbands, she would take whatever she wanted. Not a nice person, certainly not an "idol."

[kaijahzmom]

@Sweetashanni You summed it up quite nicely, Very well said! :)

[SaguaroAZ]

@Sweetashanni Afraid you do not have all the the Information. Gabrielle helped the Germans only because her loved cousin was In a concentration camp, and she needed to pull strings to get him out. Something anyone would have done for family.

[xsweetgirl805x]

Lol. I think in the beginning she gets mad when he slaps his hands in front of her face. That was rude of him.

[CioccolatinoSvizzero]

shes well dressed.. id wear the clothes that shes wearing

[frenchmakeup]

"Les genoux cagneux, trop gros, qui deviennent un peu violets en plus! Oh c'est affreux..."

Elle est drôle et touchante à la fois :)

[Aorelio83]

Elle est terrible, j'adore quand elle parle de la beauté des jambes et genoux :)).

She is awesome, i love when she talks about the beauty of legs and gnees :)).

[sodakiller12345]

je ne sais pas

[HeyItsClaudiaa]

I so much wish I was related to her. She's like, my idol. <3

[mistergonsalves]

i understood . pantolone . . . lol!

[freshi98]

@mistergonsalves omg i thought i was the only one..loool

[bsmaues]

je l'aime, une dame très élégant

[roiluangprabang]

love the overly smoked Raspy voice..lol

[do95070]

I dont know what she's saying but seems like she was pissed at the guy for slapping his hands right in front of her face in the beginning LOL

[27yohana]

She smoked too much..;))

[AllieCat356]

WISH I KNEW WHAT COCO WAS SAYING!!!!!!! UGH!

[wish2955]

I have a project on her and could you please PLEASE put subtitles on this! I need it for my project!!!!!!!!!

[bahbooha100]

I have a project on her!!!! :D

[ccipollini1984]

This woman WAS fashion!

[Freakish108]

@ccipollini1984 She still IS...

[Saramuussa]

wooooow!

[ninatje100]

Elegance has nothing to do with your body weight or how much money you have. Elegance it's something that either you have it or have not. I know many elegant women who are overweight and got no penny in their pockets. Look at Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan, would you consider those girsl elegant??Being skinny, doesn't make a woman more elegant than the others.Channel was elegant by nature., it's part of hers.And she was not even born in a wealthy family

[aizac91]

i would like to comment on a person who commented on her for being too thin. as she mentioned it in the second part of this video she EATS but she stays thin, i know that this is possible because i'm a guy who i can say eats loads of food a day, i can have 6/7 meals but no matter how much i eat i stay the same weight. to that person that said " that she introduced unhealthy habits for women cause she was thin" well your wrong. i'm a guy and i can say i wish more women were like coco.

[konstansal]

subtitles please!!!!

[videocrack246]

i thought i'd watch this to practice my french....yeah right, its too fast and her voice is too raspy...oh well...anybody knows some videos on youtube in frnech (to practice3 listening) which may interest me ?

[XxsoulrockaxX]

wish there was subtitles

[04081399]

English subtitles plzzzzzzzzzzz

[swissaunty]

"Je ne connais rien de plus vieillissant que d'essayer de se rajeunir" ... comme vous avez raison Mademoiselle... si vous voyiez certaines femmes d'aujourd'hui, comme elles s'accoutrent et se comportent, vous trouveriez tout cela desolant... Il y a 40 ans aujourd'hui que vous vous en etes allee, et vous nous manquez toujours autant.

[bibiez]

Wuand vous mettez despantalons sachez que ca ne change pas votre visage...oh la geule!! :)

[hugh77270]

Fier d'être français avec Coco <3

[UnbreakableLittleM15]

@xxxSPODIExxx

Even when I love fashion and I think that Coco is really a remarkable woman... I can not ignore or forget the fact that she supported nazis..

So yeah, I love Chanel, but you have a point..

[saminasubhani]

it would be great if someone would place subtitles under this video

[TheAspenextreme]

in english..

[zouzedusud]

Sacré petit bout de femme, digne représentante de la France, tant par son talent que par sa personnalité forte et indépendante!!

[TheGirlishone]

[IdaSputum]

she designed the suede sofa she's sitting on, -

this was decades before the style became mainstream

[dan93iel92]

Man, I Wish I Spoke French, Even In Her Old Age, She Was Stylish, Proving That Anyone At Any Age Can Be Stylish

[j8el]

Karl Lagerfeld talks like her XD

[lovedonbabylol]

She looks so fragile, so small but Chanel was incredible strong person.

[musicxcraze]

Lol why am i so fascinated when i dont know a word shes saying???

[Kaufa2]

@musicxcraze ajjajaaj! me too!!!!!

[AtlantaITGirl]

@musicxcraze she does fascinate me too. i can't figure out why- maybe yes i do know. her strength. i loved the actor that played her in the coco movie- the one of her early life

[sirenedesabledoux]

@musicxcraze hahaha i don't know but you have to understand it's very interesting and funny. I'm french and i can't translate anyword but if someone else can do it in youtube, please, do it !

[Tibess]

This should have english subtitles :)

[TheFrenchWall]

@Tibess You should learn French. :)

[melakkush]

@TheFrenchWall

you should give world an opportunity to watch her talk, not only to french speaking part of the world...

[Bajacaliwave]

@Tibess or you could learn French, easy fix.

[BIJMOZ]

this interview reminds me of why yves saint laurent is so superior to chanel

[igorboyonline]

« Je connais rien plus vieillissent que d'essayer de se rajeunir »

coco

trop fort

[ndiou72]

j'adore cette femme

[maylennn]

We women wouldn´t be wearing fucking trousers without this amazing person!

Watch the movie: Coco Avant Chanel! It's amazing!

[Frantzcia]

i love her she's so funny !!

[MANUELFARINELLI]

Oh please translate this!

[kappleviolet]

that was Indian classical sitar music they were playing :)

[muteradio]

Why don't I speak French?!?!?!!!!!

[Gissela778186]

I agree with the comment, that she was the most amazing woman that ever existed,

[mimushkita]

I wish I had the guts she had to overcome all that she did! Amazing1

[BelleBrummellFV]

She and Karl are the most amazing fashion people in the world.

[virgiolinna]

She has sense of humor!

[maham21jan]

could anyone translate it please?

[KaTE6772]

même si elle est une des femmes les plus admriable qui soit ; elle avait perdu un peu de sa fraicheur...

[KaTE6772]

même si elle est une des femmes les plus admriable qui soit ; elle avait perdu un peu de sa fraicheur...

[cbrito89]

she sounds like K.LF. that's crazy

[bpwonderkid]

@cbrito89 I was thinking the same thing even before

I saw your comment. So weird.

[birdonet]

Cuando la vejez llega a ser sinónimo de decrepitud, es llegada la hora de morirse, en paz, pero hay que morirse sin más dilación.

[Bigfootingtasa]

she speaks really fast, too fast for me to understand.

[dieselegoiste]

Honestly,I dont know Franch! Anyway it is very interesting for me to watch how does this woman talk, look! To hear her voice is a little bit of wonder!

[princessjoots]

I watched the whole thing, even though I don't understand a word

[Pfalzgreven]

@princessjoots LOL ... me too!

[8757kathy]

please put english subtitles if you can

[hejaful]

karl lagerfeld parle comme elle

[mica19211]

sooo by my amazing Spanish speaking skills, I can tell that around 2:54 she starts talkin about pants. but I have no idea what she's sayin! @MalleOooooooops can u translate please because I saw u translate another Chanel interview. I would appreciate it sooo much!

[fattybom88]

A subtitle would be nice here :)

[OuiParisImOrz]

J'aime Coco

[bigcitylifexx3]

can someone please type out the transcript of this interview? thank you so much!!! and its for a school project as well as deep personal interest

[JediGoddessChristy]

It is inspiring how she came from nothing and made herself into an icon just by pure determination. Her fashion is completely timeless. I would absolutely wear any of her designs from anytime, today.

Whats sad is she passed away in 1971, two years after this interview.

[Sirot89]

just don't forget she was a German collaborator in WWII

[ZahirahP]

OMG!!! i am speechless this women is the most inspiring person on this planet she has class, but she doesnt try too hard and i love that about her! she just does what she wants and doesnt listen to any one of her seemstresses. I understood this very well besides the fact that im 14 yrs old but i take french for my GCSE and have spent lots of summers in Paris with my father. I LOVE GABRIELLA CHANEL!

[asort3]

i can't understand a word She's saying, but what a wonderful woman

[yiqanuc]

English subtitles please

[seb389]

what she says could totally fits in 2010.

[mennella2000]

What your comment has to do with the video is irrelevant to fashion and her influence in it even today.

[definitionXbattle]

lol weelllll, to say fashion today is lazy & desperate, i completely disagree, i think it is the most fascinating and amazing time to be around and watch fashion

but, like you say, agree to disagree :)

<3

[mennella2000]

@definitionXbattle

I never say "agree to disagree", because that doesn't make sense, unless I dont appreciate any disagreements you have in the first place. I respect your views on fashion. Since we have discussed little on current fashion, I dont see why you want to agree to disagree. Hopefully I can be proven wrong about todays fashion. I dont hate todays fashion and I would like it to improve.

[definitionXbattle]

enough...

to be honest...i really just dont care

<3

[mennella2000]

@definitionXbattle

Neither do I, I just enjoy sh!tting on pretentious people, passively.

Cheerio.

[priscilliabackstage]

je l aiiime trops !!!

[raff1869]

C'est une leçon, un témoignage très intéressant !

[videocrack246]

i wish i understood i speak very little french....

[definitionXbattle]

loved her for what she DID, but she ended a very salty dead woman. its very dangerous for a designer to say 'this is bad, stupid, wrong' to the new culture of youth..which is what happened to Chanel. she made her brand for old passe' women.

i still love what she accomplished, but she basically burried the brand along w/ herself. until Lagerfeld of course. now it is of today, relevant, and important, just like it started

and, my goodness, her posture is atrocious!!! haha

<3

[mennella2000]

@definitionXbattle

Do you know who coco chanel is?

[definitionXbattle]

lol, yes I do, do you??

Im not speaking of early Chanel...that was the important Chanel, the relevant one, for her time, and pushing things forward. But towards the end of her career, her house was balsse' and for old woman, no one cared about her or the brand...and for the 10 yrs after she died, it stayed that same way, boring and irrelevant, until KL came in and did what she did in the beggining, made it modern, which is what I said...

I should have explained more...i guess

....

<3

[mennella2000]

@definitionXbattle

I think her achievements were quite grand and influence well saturating, even to this day.

I doubt no one cared about her and I doubt she needed the attention of the mass to feel human or relevant. I guess the problem is there are many shallow people who mark those grander than them on standards they wish they were at and that no one can achieve. She lived a long life and a good one, and I cared about her.

[definitionXbattle]

yes yes yes i completely agree, and her work, from the begining, is still very important to the ways, and reasons, we dress today...but, at the same time, respect doesnt sell, and fashion is about being today..not the past, nor the future..it is about right now! who she was or what she would think about todays world means nothing to me, maybe she would love it, idk, but its not a question of superficiality, as you might have pointed to, just thought...

<3

[mennella2000]

@definitionXbattle

What I am basically trying to say is, what you say may not be relevant or a good judgement. Respect does sell, that is the problem with fashion today, and her respect enabled her to get out of a load of trouble. IMO, she was talented and inventive and sophisticated, and if she isn't totally forgotten then how you think and what you say.....may not matter. BTw, fashion today is lazy and desperate...some people would agree, some wont.

[Jdimples1123]

the most amazing woman that ever existed. everyone should give her thanks for liberalizing women and giving them a gift that changed the world.

[milaaanka]

@Jdimples1123 absolutely true! If it wasn`t for this free thinking open minded creative and courageous woman ...All designs after hers are just variations of her sketches and guidelines.

[ittybittybabyforrest]

@Jdimples1123 she also had affairs with nazi spies, was anti semitic and a homophobe. she especially hate gay designers

[xxxSPODIExxx]

She certainly helped the NAZIs change the world during the occupation.

You really think that a whore who collaborated with the nazis who were murdering her countrymen is the most amazing woman who ever existed?

You're really gonna love Osama when he comes out with a line of cute purses.

[ChinemayStarToBe]

@xxxSPODIExxx bitch suk me pussy

[xxxSPODIExxx]

@ChinemayStarToBe

Learn how to spell, then pick up a history book.

[TheAmazingSquasher]

@xxxSPODIExxx you have no idea what you are talking about do you???

you fucking idiot!!!!!! how can you even say that you paranoid bastard!!!! where on earth did you hear she was helping the nazi's????? seriously?????

[xxxSPODIExxx]

@TheAmazingSquasher

Pick up a history book, numbnuts. Google Coco and Nazis.

She spent the occupation sucking Nazi cock and used the holocaust to wrest production from Jewish factory owners
