COCO CHANEL’S FAVE FIVE! WORLD HISTORY HONORS PERIOD 8 JACQUELINE ALVAREZ

SO WHO’S AT THE TOP??? CHANEL AS A DESIGNER I IMAGINE WOULD HAVE OTHER DESIGNERS ON HER FAVE FIVE LIST,HMMM, LETS FIND OUT!

FAVE FIVE #1!!! KARL LAGERFELD FOR KEEPING THE CHANEL DREAM ALIVE! NOW THE CHANEL DESIGNER HAS BROUGHT MUCH SUCCESS TO THE CHANEL BRAND AND OF COURSE HE’S NUMBER ONE BECAUSE IF IT WEREN’T FOR HIM THERE WOULD BE NO COCO CHANEL TODAY!

FAVE FIVE #2 THE DUKE OF WESTMINISTER FROM UK ONE OF THE RICHEST MEN IN THE UK AT THE TIME. THE DUKE OF WESTMINISTER BROUGHT UP CHANEL’S STATUS AND OPENED HER UP TO NEW OPPURTUNITIES!

FAVE FIVE #3 SAMUEL GOLDWYN. GOLDWYN HELPED CHANEL BUILD HER CAREER IN THE UNITED STATES BY OFFERING $1 MILLION TO TRAVEL TO HOLYWOOD TO COSTUME HIS STARLETS.

FAVE FIVE #4 THE ANONYMOUS MAID. THIS WOMAN THE ANONYMOUS MAID HAS MADE THE TOP FIVE BECAUSE NOT ONLY DID SHE SPEND THE LAST MOMENTS CHANEL HAD WITH HER BUT SHE ATTEMPTED TO SAVE CHANEL’S LIFE.

FAVE FIVE #5 CHRISTIAN DIOR - AS A DESIGNER CHANEL AND DIOR HAVE A SIMILAIR STYLE, A SIMPLE SHEEK STYLE. THEY BOTH STARTED OUT WITH HAT DESIGNS SO THEY RELATE IN THE STRUGGLE THAT WAS TO BECOME A DESIGNER.

THE NOT SO FAVE FIVE! 1. CAPEL. CAPEL WAS IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH CHANEL AND THE RELATION SHIP UNFORTANETLY ENDED ON BAD TERMS, AND WHY? BECAUSE HE ENDED HIS REALTIONSHIP WITH CHANEL TO MARRY TWENTY-FIVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OF BRITISH LORD TO HIGHER HIS SOCIETY CONNECTIONS.

NOT!!! #2 HANS GUNTHER VON DINKLAGE. EVEN THOUGH CHANEL MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH THIS ONE OF A KIND MAN, DATING A NAZI OFFICER DOES HAVE ITS DOWNFALLS. SUCH AS CHANEL WAS ARRESTED AND ACCUSED OF COLLABERATING WITH THE FLEE OF GUNTHER! SHE WAS RELEASED THREE HOURS LATER BUT SHOWS THAT MEN ARE TROUBLE!

NOT!!! #3 THE YOUNG TWENTY FIVE YEAR OLD THAT TOOK CHANEL’S SPOT IN CAPEL’S HEART. SO OBVIOUSLY WE SEE WHY SHE IS IN THE NOT LIST!

NOT!!! #4 BETSEY JOHNSON! BETSEY JOHNSON HAS A LIBERAL OUT THERE STYLE A ONE OF A KIND STYLE THAT NOONE WILL EVER REPLICATE SUCH AS CHANEL. BUT WHY IS BETSEY HERE, BECAUSE CHANEL WAS A WOMAN OF HIGH CLASS AND SHE WAS ALWAYS THE MORE SIMPLE AND ELEGANT STYLES AS FOR JOHNSON SHE IS THE ONE WHO DOESN’T CARE MUCH FOR ELEGANCE SHE CARES FOR OUT THERE ONE A KIND COLORS!

NOT!!! #5 COCO CHANEL’S FATHER. HE WAS A MAN WITH MANY CHILDREN AND WHY IS HE HERE? WELL, HE LEFT COCO AT THE AGE OF 12 BECAUSE HER FATHER HAD TO LEAVE TO TRY AND RAISE 6 CHILDREN BUT THE PROBLEM WAS THAT HE NEVER CAME BACK. AND SHE ENDED UP IN AN ORPHANAGE FOR SEVEN YEARS.

BETSEY JOHNSON FAVE FIVE! WORLD HISTORY HONORS JACQUELINE ALVAREZ

FAVE FIVE #1! LULU. THIS IS HER NUMBER ONE IN HER HEART HER DAUGHTER NAMED LULU. NOW PREGNANT TO GIVE BIRTH TO BETSEY’S SECOND GRAND CHILD.

FAVE FIVE #2 MARGUILES. HER ONE AND A HALF YEAR OLD GRANDAUGHTER TRULY HOLDS A PIECE OF BETSEY’S HEART. MARGUILES ATTENDED HER FIRST FASHION WEEK THIS YEAR AND APPEARED ON THE RUNWAY WITH JOHNSON.

FAVE FIVE #3 MADEMIOSELLE MAGAZINE. BETSEY JOHNSON’S CAREER STARTED AS SHE ENTERED THE “GUEST EDITOR CONTEST” AND SHE WON THIS CONTEST WHICH HELPED HER START HER CAREER AS A DESIGNER.

FAVE FIVE #4 CECILIA MENDEZ. CECILIA MENDEZ HAS BEEN MODELING FOR BETSEY LONGER THAN ANY OF HER OTHER MODELS SHE HAS NOT ONLY BROUGHT SUCCESS TO HERSELF BUT AS WELL TO BETSEY.

FAVE FIVE #5 THE BREAST CANCER ASSOCIATION. BETSEY JOHNSON IS NOT ONLY A DESIGNER BUT A SUPPORTER OF THE BREAST CANCER ASSOCIATION BUT WHY? SHE HERSELF IS A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR AND SHE IS GLAD TO HELP OTHERS.

THE NOT SO FAVE FIVE!!! 1 JOHN CALE. HE IS HER NUMBER ONE ON HER LIST BECAUSE AFTER SPENDING MANY YEARS IN A HAPPY MARRIAGE HE ASKED FOR DIVORCE AND JOHNSON WAS NOT HAPPY.

NOT!!! #2 JEFFREY OLIVIERE. IN JOHNSON’S SECOND REALTIONSHIP WITH OLIVIERE THINGS DIDN’T WORK OUT AND ONCE AGAIN SHE IS DIVORCED. AND NOW HE IS IN A CURRENT RELATIONSHIP AND HAS CUT OFF COMMUNICATION WITH JOHNSON.

NOT #3 BRIAN REYNOLDS. BETSEY MAY HAVE THOUGHT THAT THIRD TIME WAS GOING TO BE THE CHARM BUT SHE WAS MISTAKEN. SHE IS NOW SEPERATED FROM HER THIRD REALTIONSHIP WITH BRIAN REYNOLDS.

NOT!!!#4 SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY. EVEN THOUGH JOHNSON WENT TO STUDY FASHION DESIGN AT SYCRUSE UNIVERSITY SHE FELT THE SCHOOL WOULD NOT LET HER EXPAND OUT AND SHOW WHAT SHE HAD TO OFFER.

NOT!!! #5 COCO CHANEL. BETSEY AND JOHNSON LIVED VERY TWO DIFFERENT LIFESTYLES AND THEY BOTH HAVE VERY DIFFERENT SYTLES SO BY LOOKING AT THE WAY THEIR LIVES DEVELOPED WE SEE THE DIFFERENCES AND IN MY OPINION THEY WOULD NOT GET ALONG!
