Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky
I excitedly await an opportunity to attend the cinema to see Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky.
This movie promises to bring a fusion of fashion, art, dance, music, design and a wonderful dose of early 1900's Parisian life. What else could one ask for?
The setting of Paris during the reign of Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes attracts me like a moth to a flame. I’m alight with anticipation to see the audacity of Stravinsky as he brings “The Rite of Spring” to Parisian audiences for the first time. Oh, how I love a fresh work of art, so daring, so new, such unchartered territory. I love how art has the capacity to move people to such passionate opinions!
Sadly, we rarely see this anymore, are we so hard to inspire/incite, so 'seen it all' these days?
I will definitely enjoy the fashion - I possibly would have taken the fashion design direction - if I hadn't been so addicted to dance.
Can you imagine the personalities we meet in this film, the grandest of all those artistes? How decadent, alluring and inspiring.
And let's remember girls - Coco said "A woman is closest to being naked when she is well dressed". Now there's a reason to tell your husband you need more designer clothes!
