Abstract

The work of this designer can not be understood, as usually happens, without comprehending the circumstances that surrounded and marked her life. In Gabriele Chanel's example it was men who play the most important play in her creative process. Her father, her lovers, her male friends; they were truly muses and sources that never stopped her desires for creating and innovating. These muses introduced her in brand new cultures and she was able to breathe all until the end breath and drink until the last drop.
