She was born in 1883 and was orphaned at the age of 12. After a childhood at the orphanage, she began a career as a seamstress at the age of 20. In 1910, she opened a hat store with the support of her lover Boy. She quickly opened two other hat shops in the towns of the upper middle class, Deauville and Biarritz. Subsequently, she opened her first real fashion store in Paris. She revolutionized women&#039;s fashion by creating, among other things, women&#039;s pants, reserved at the time for men. At the start of World War II, Coco Chanel closed her boutiques and devoted herself to the development of her perfume brand. She died at the age of 87 while she was preparing yet another collection to be presented after her death.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>What can be blamed on him<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Its relations with the Nazi regime<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We know very little about Coco Chanel close to the Nazi regime and yet during the Second World War Coco Chanel had a relationship with Hans G\u00fcnther von Dincklage, a German baron. Besides being a baron, he was also a Nazi leader. According to known revelations, long after her death, she would have worked as a Nazi secret agent as early as 1940 under the mission code \u201cWestminster\u201d. During this period she saw the Royalties of her perfume and could be concerned about alliances with Germany. A recognized anti-Semite, she went so far as to ask the Germans to force the Wertheimerjuifs brothers to give her back her perfume beforehand. Fortunately for them, exiles in the United States, they will foil his plan.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of World War II, the French regime arrested Coco Chanel and then immediately released her thanks to a call from Winston Churchill. She went into exile in Switzerland for 15 years, first on the shores of Lake Geneva then in Saint-Moritz. Finally, she returned to France in 1953, at the age of 70.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"source\">\n<h3>Sources of the publication<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.letemps.ch\/monde\/coco-chanel-une-espionne-nazie\">Time<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coco_Chanel\">Coco Chanel<\/a> of <a href=\"http:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/\">Wikipedia in French<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Coco_Chanel&amp;action=history\">authors<\/a>)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\/deed.fr\">Content subject to CC-BY-SA license<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In fashion there are big names, but names like Hugo Boss or Coco Chanel are closely linked to Nazism.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29521,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"encyclopedia-category":[31,42,36],"encyclopedia-tag":[],"class_list":["post-29085","encyclopedia","type-encyclopedia","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","encyclopedia-category-business","encyclopedia-category-femme","encyclopedia-category-france"],"yoast_head":"\n<title>Coco Chanel -
