coco chanel was a nazi

i say this with no hyperbole whatsoever

she literally worked for the nazis and benefitted from jewish shareholders in chanel being sent off to concentration camps when their share came into her possession

parisian consumers actually refused to buy a lot from her own ranges after 1940 because she was an infamous collaborator but british and american consumers kept on buying them and continue to glorify her

that’s nice

this is a good review of the book where this is explained:

“Gabrielle Chanel — better known as Coco — was a wretched human being. Anti-Semitic, homophobic, social climbing, opportunistic, ridiculously snobbish and given to sins of phrase-making like “If blonde, use blue perfume,” she was addicted to morphine and actively collaborated with the Germans during the Nazi occupation of Paris. And yet, her clean, modern, kinetic designs, which brought a high-society look to low-regarded fabrics, revolutionized women’s fashion, and to this day have kept her name synonymous with the most glorious notions of French taste and élan.”

And she’s still hailed as a “Feminist icon”  by white women.

Shit… File this under: “shit I didn’t know but does not surprise me in the least”

WAIT there’s a good ending to this–Coco Chanel originally was business partners with a Jewish family, the Wertheimers. She tried to screw them over, but they were too damn smart for that, so they gave their shares to a dude named Amiot, went to NYC in 1940, and then came back later. Today the company is still owned by the Wertheimer family.

This Jewish family now owns the entire legacy of Coco Chanel plus all the money from the company and if that isn’t one of the best revenge stories I don’t know what is.
