“Coco” Musical Takes The Stage in London

La Chanelphile — Mon, 23 May 2011 11:58:53 +0000

In 1969, Katharine Hepburn starred as Coco Chanel in Coco a musical comedy on Broadway about Mlle. Chanel herself. The producer, Fred Brisson, had been trying to get permission from Coco Chanel to do a musical based upon her life and after years of persuasion, Chanel finally consented. At the time, Coco was the most expensive Broadway production to ever grace the NYC stages. The 250 costumes, based on the designs of Coco Chanel, were designed by Sir Cecil Beaton. (Info and Image above from Chanel and Her World: Friends, Fashion and Fame by Edmonde Charles – Roux, p. 372-73).

Having read many biographies on Gabrielle Chanel, a musical comedy doesn’t really seem fitting for her life (a moody art film seems more like it). Coco didn’t do to well with the critics but it sold our shows night after night. Well, now Coco is being reprived by London’s Sadler’s Wells Theater as part of a series called Lost Musicals 2011 – a European premier. If you are in the area this may be fun to check out. The show runs in May and June and tickets can be purchased online.

12 Days of Christmas: Chanel Fragrances

La Chanelphile — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 06:25:02 +0000

Chanel is perhaps most well known the world over for fragrances – especially Chanel No. 5. Still a best seller, Chanel No.5 makes a beautiful gift. I especially love visiting department stores and Chanel.com because they have lovely fragrance gift sets that come with a fragrance (perfume or eau de toilette usually) along with body cream or gel. In addition to Chanel No. 5, there’s a host of scents that are sexy and feminine including Coco, Coco Mademoiselle, Allure, Chance and No. 19. I especially love Les Exclusifs de Chanel (only available online or in Chanel boutiques) or the Chanel No. 5 new purse sprays (available online) – a cute stocking stuffer! All of the items pictured above can be purchased on Chanel.com.Similar Posts:

La Chanelphile — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 13:05:21 +0000

Each holiday season Chanel unveils its annual fragrance wardrobe – a limited edition set of 5 mini bottles of its most popular fragrances. Every Christmas I would walk by the Chanel fragrance counter and eye the set and wish for it. Last Christmas, my wish was granted when my little sister got my the 2009 fragrance wardrobe as a gift!

This year, the Chanel 2010 Fragrance Wardrobe is delicious as ever featuring five demi Parfums, 0.12 oz. each of N°5, Coco Mademoiselle, Coco, N°19 and Allure in a deluxe gift box. This makes a wonderful gift for any Chanelphile and is a great way to get a taste of iconic Chanel fragrances without investing in large bottles.

Keira looked gorgeous and I love her new bob. I wonder if it was inspired by Coco? Keira’s look was created using the following products – it won’t make us look like her but it will get us as close as we can:

Face: VITALUMIÈRE AQUA Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup SPF 15 in Beige Rosé – Tendre (available March 2011)

Yesterday, Chanel announced that Mlle. Paradis would be the face of the Rouge Coco de Chanel lipstick. Who better than the lady who gets to lock lips with Johnny Depp?? Chanel always does a great job with their ad campaigns and I can’t wait to see what they come up with for the Rouge Coco de Chanel lipstick when it launches in 2010.
