Many people's role model, Coco Chanel 

​ 

This is Diana Lee, reporting from France.

Today, Tuesday, April 7, 2026, a fashion show for Chanel was held in Paris. 3,000 people came to the fashion show.

When asked, almost all of them said, "My role model is Coco Chanel."

When asked about her personality, people said, "She is creative," or "She lived through World War II."

I respect that she believed "Life is okay." They also said, "We know what kinds of problems she went through."

I asked them, "What kind of problems?" They replied, "First, she experienced World War II.

Second, the person Coco Chanel loved was Arthur Capel. However, he died in a car accident on December 22, 1919."

"Ah! I wonder what other problems Coco Chanel went through besides Arthur Capel's death."

And the group of people said, "Her mother died when she was 12 years old."

"Also, she grew up in a monastery without her family."

A recent survey showed that 2,500 people said their role model is Chanel, and that is tremendous.

People want to be creative like Coco Chanel.

I was still curious, so I asked some more questions: "What is the full name of Coco Chanel?"

One person said, "Coco is a nickname. Her real name is Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel."

Then I asked, "I heard Coco Chanel wanted a different job. What job did Coco Chanel want to do?"

Another person said, "She wanted to be a singer! And 'Coco' is actually the name of a song.

Coco Chanel sang a song that included the word 'Coco,' and people started to call her Coco Chanel."

I also asked, "Was Chanel really a spy?"

Her fans said, "We don't know about that. It is a mystery.

But some people believe Coco Chanel was really a spy."

There are many ideas and theories about Chanel.

But the really important thing is that Coco Chanel is a role model for many people.
