CHANEL: Coco Chanel parle de l'élégance

[Nimron12]

Je l'aime. Elle est mon but dans la vie, être son équivalent ! (Même si j'y arriverai jamais)

[vic26089]

Elle a vraiment raison elle est tellement classe

[monkeystick800]

Omg, j'ai de la misère à comprendre ce qu`elle dit car je suis Canadienne. Elle a un accent de la France. lol

[monsieurjack1991]

Elle a bien une voix de fumeuse :S

[SummerHaze12]

Ce qu'elle dit est tellement vrai.

[TheGainsbourg]

sacrée bout de femme ! un sacré personnage cette Dame !

[mkcseit]

[mariki2310]

Elle est difficile à comprendre, elle parle vite. Je la trouve un peu androgine même si elle est géniale!

[mamoux1]

[mamoux1]

@bobduvar Oh and i forgot CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN :) FREEEEEENCHHHH !

[Rwowd]

@bobduvar Are you kidding ?

[mkcseit]

sorry for translate, exactly at 98% google has trouble with the french ^^

[mkcseit]

Then there was a lot of history,

You did not ask, but finally

I tell you that this is a problem also

Not mine, but that of haute couture,

It's insane fear of copying,

While for me, the copy is successful c

There is no success without copying its without imitation does not exist.

[mkcseit]

It is the most important anyway?

Coco:

Most importantly, the copy is a very difficult thing to do is practice more.

You know have chased all the little seamstress

Finally have made a lot of history to defend non-existent thing

Because its my always seem the most ridiculous, is to defend a mode!

Have can not defend the way, why defend it?

It is not a fad if no track.

You understand? So want to have to defend it,

[mkcseit]

read happy, obviously c is that I will seek,

That was my goal to create a style there were more.

In my opinion: because there is no style in France.

There is a style in a nation, there is a style, when people

The street are dressed like you and I cross, I have reached a cross sa.

But I do not believe in copying, I believe in imitation,

It's already very nice to have arrived in imitation

Man:

[mkcseit]

Man:

miss, the dresses you create last year

Have had imitated or copied in the world

The makers of almost every country in the world

Your models have reproduced thousands of copies,

Chanel style and took to the streets, is what you

Are satisfied?

Coco:

[mkcseit]

Man: a definition of style? Coco: a definition of elegance, my gods It's difficult, you ask tough questions That is what I know the style? Many thing you know Finally I would say that I repeat constantly, Everyone does not understand, I find that women are Always overdressed, and that she never quite elegant.

[azanter003]

Coco trés trés bon parfumme

[miniMadMOD60s]

She says at the end, "If no one copies you, you do not have real success."

[sinschae]

PLEASE can you put subtitles in or write the translation in the description box? My french isn't good enough :(

[wasittoyou]

"La copie c'est le succes, il ny'a pas de succes sans la copie" no truer word were ever spoken and nobody speaks them like Gabrielle.

[meriemdz1]

elle a vraiment raison !!

[petitrequinmauve]

''Les femmes sont toujours trop habillées'' xD J'ADORE je suis tout a fait d'accord.

[meriemdz1]

@petitrequinmauve Moi aussi,

[yenta1]

Kim Texon.

[MarcelaCalvet]

I recall my mother telling me stories about Coco and my grandmother who were good acquaintances in the Paris of the day. Even my nickname was given to me by the great Coco. She was one of a kind and I do love her.

[kadarena]

Qui peut m'aider??? Peut-etre quelq'un qui est d'origine francaise...

je comprends assez bien l'interview, mais j'ai besoin de la forme ecrite correcte de cette interview. je vous remercie bien

[inesdefrance007]

Une belle femme ! Si certaines pouvaient en prendre exemple ( moi la premiere !) je trouve que Karl Lagerfield assure parfaitement la releve chanel.

[inesdefrance007]

A beautiful woman

[333archierice]

[LuniaVideo]

[PunketGreenDay]

La reine de la mode.

[pablina94]

il mio mito...il mio amore più grande....lei!rimarrà nella storia e nel nostro pensiero fin qnd nn finirà il mondo...per il suo profumo...per la sua classe...per il suo buon gusto...GRAZIE COCO CHANEL....GRAZIE DI TUTTO QUELLO CHE HAI DONATO A NOI E AL MONDO DELLA MODA!ti voglio veramente bene!

[melman1965]

"fashion is not something that exists in dresses only .Fashion is in the sky, in the street. Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening"  (Coco Chanel)

[jun7per]

Her style became very austere and stuffy towards the 1950s till the end of her life. The pearls were such a dog tag for bores as were her trademark wool suits which were fit for well paid secretaries. Chanel seemed more frumpy rather than elegant and adventurous. Also her persona was very right wing. A bit of a tyrant.

[marani1970]

Coco was naturally on the skinny side...some people are what they are... btw its human beings not beans. oh that made me giggle... xo

[jancarloc]

human beans!!!!!! jajajajajajajaajajajajajaja OMG that was so funny  XD

[jenniferpedraza]

OMG puck1203, that "human beans" made my LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

[biciclettaa]

legge!!

[Searchingxmyxway]

Hey s'pas une joke je suis francophone et je comprend pas la moitié de ce qu'elle dit.

[Hanglulu]

C'est pas parce que t'es quebecois(e) que tu dois fermer tes oreilles a une femme pleine de sagresse.

[Searchingxmyxway]

voyons donc pourquoi tout le monde critique mon commentaire? J'voulais pas être méchante en écrivant ça. J'ai absolument rien contre Coco Chanel et j'admire tout ce qu'elle a fait. Je disais juste ça dans le sens qu'elle parle vite et que j'avais de la difficulté à comprendre. Faut pas chercher plus loin.

Désolée si j'ai offensé qui que ce soit.

[puck1203]

U can read it even in WIKIPEDIA so look better dude, i dont like to talk crap about shit i dont know about, and believe me i DO KNOW about fashion!!!! But whats the problem, she was human, and all human beans make mistakes in their lifes sooo, what's da big shock??? Look 4 it and you'll find some info about it!!!! Peace....

[puck1203]

And OBVIOUSLY da reason for her weight issue was cause her addiction to Morphine, u can see her scratching herself all the time at da interview and that is an OBVIOUS side effect of using morphine or heroin or any opium derivated drugs!!!

[hernok]

Where did you ever read that she was addicted to morphine? Clearly you don't know alot about Gabrielle Chanel, she was thin because she believed in perfection. She believed that she had to be perfect everyday, all day, always.

[puck1203]

She was a Morphine addict all of her adult life, but i dont care she was a junky, cause in terms of innovating fashion, she is at the top of da list, at least in the first five positions of the top ten!!! Peace n blesses..... and sadly....im a junky too =(

[admireggie]

She lived till 88 years old. No drug addict live that long.

I'm afraid, your on drugs.

[Maresia1994]

elle est l'elégance en personne.

[lordeverglot]

Najbolja :)

[gradusm]

do you not ever consider that coco chanel is the reason size o is such an issue today. eliminating the corset so that wmen must rely on genetics or dieting. look how skinny she was, verging on annorexia.

[Malgrange54]

Madame

[coralarch]

Why is she wearing a hat indoors?

[romasummusamor]

Because following the galateo, a woman who's wearing an hat, CAN'T take it away anywhere ( even indoor).

[Sweetscience123]

Because she's a classy woman

[DAREZE1]

coco chanel est la simplicité incarné

ce que je dit toujours avant de creer un model : ce n'est pas l'habit qui fait de nous ce que nous sommes mais le contraire

[bobduvar]

Forcément culte

Forcément légendaire

Forcément Chanel.

[lilifleur14]

Coco chanel a cree l'elegence de la femme .

[harigepudding]

It's quite not elegant to were a hat in house! But she was cool...

[MeisterToast]

Do you know where this came from?

I need a specific citation

[emmapasam]

tellement visionnaire, tellement avant-gardiste..........pour l'époque.

Love this Woman.

[barroninc]

Did you know that Chanel never sewed a stitch herself? She felt that it was the work of peasents. Also she really didn't like putting on fashion shows because people didn't care for her personality and didn't want to attend them so Coco was afraid of having a fashion show and no one showing up.

-I have a Friend in high places.

[mellyn66]

Interesting. I read a couple bio.s on the Great Chanel where I read she had learned to sew in a convent. But AH! the STYLE!!

I am currently wearing Coco Madmoiselle and love every smell of it!

[MeisterToast]

Thats stupid she was an orphan and she went to live with nuns when she was young

while she was living there with them they taught her how to sew

[ceska31]

The translation needs to be read from my 1st post upwards, enjoy!

[ceska31]

I've translated the whole interview, enjoy

[ceska31]

C: So there are a lot of stories that are being told -anyway I'm not up to date with it- You didn't ask me this question but I'm telling you: One of the problems, not mine but of the Haute-Couture's. It's the insane fright of the copy. While on the other hand for me, copy equals success. There's no success without copy and without imitation, it doesn't exist. Voila!

[ceska31]

C: It's quite important

It's even what's the most important. Copying is a very difficult thing that no longer exists. You know, little dress makers were sued, things that were nonexistent being defended because what always seemed to me the most ridiculous...what I find the most ridiculous is to defend Fashion. You can't defend a trend, why defend a trend? A trend is not a trend if nobody ever sees it, you see what I mean?

[ceska31]

C: To create a style, because there was no longer a style -in my opinion- There's no style in France. There's a style in a nation when people in the street dress like you and I think I have achieved this. But I don't believe in copying, I believe in imitation. It's already something to have achieved imitation.

[ceska31]

J: Mademoiselle, the dresses you have created last year have been imitated, copied in the whole world, almost all the world manufacturers have reproduced your designs in thousands, the Chanel style has gone down the streets, are you satisfied with it?

C: Aaaah I'm delighted! Obviously this is what I've looked for, this was my goal.

[ceska31]

J: A definition of elegance?

C: Pardon?

J: A definition for elegance?

C: Definition for elegance...

Oh that's difficult, you ask difficult questions. It's a rather difficult question.

What is elegance? Many things... It involves a lot of things. Well, I would say to you that, I can only say what I keep saying -that's for me is a fact, not everybody understands my point- I find that women are always too dressed (nt: they're trying too hard) and never elegant enough

[midnightmagicwitch]

INTERVIEWER: What is your definition about elegance?

CHANEL: A definition about elegance? That is difficult, you ask difficult questions... Elegance is a lot of things...that can be a fact, because not everybody understands...

INTERVIEWER: You know that the dresses you have created last year were imitated and copied in the whole world, and confectionists reproduced your models, the Chanel style has gone down to the street, are you satisfied?

[midnightmagicwitch]

INTERVIEWER: What is your definition about elegance?

[frency83fb]

coco est l'elegance, l'essence de la femminilité...

[cfery]

Sure wish there was a translator in the house! House of Chanel that is! Pleeze...! Geez, along with all her wonderful, revolutionary and highly important fashion design and innovation, gotta say she musta done a whole heck of a lot to influence the "glamour" image of smoking back in the day too, eh?!

[ceska31]

I've translated the whole interview, enjoy

[viewtiflmee]

thanks a lot, ceska!

[ceska31]

My pleasure

[kiscc]

Yes, please, anyone translate!

[MANILABOY6631]

Would someone be kind enough to translate what Madame Coco said ? Merci .

[cmoi953]

"La peur insensée de la copie !"

She's so right !

Proud to be french !

[kickassfan]

greeeeeeeat

[missludy91]

Cette femme à fait beaucoup pour la mode, mais je la trouve assez froide et antiphatique... Elle se croit trop. C'est dommage son ton contribue à propager l'image "snob" de la mode.

[pawws]

ohh j'éspère qu'il y aurait les sous-titres en francais pour que je comprenne un peu plus...

[garciamontero1964]

crack.

[cocochanel71]

que divina

[maruja2303]

Merci Beacoup pour cette mémoire! Coco est immortelle!

Salutations depuis Argentina!

[elsa8001]

[celestecamargo]

[mariliaassis]

[bobduvar]

Ho comme vous y allez !!!!

La plus grande Dame du siècle dernier !!!!

Vous êtes peut-être dans le milieu de la mode ??

C'est vrai qu'elle a contribué à libérer la femme des carcans vestimentaires mais il y a beaucoup d'autres femmes et certainement pas uniquement françaises qui ont beaucoup compté dans l'évolution des hommes et des femmes.

[vinder0rm]

la plus grande dame du siècle dernier <3

[alexiaeu]

I admire her too much:P
