229. Coco Chanel | Fashion, Fragrance, and Fascism, Part One

In a multi-drop week here on Done and Dunne, we begin our investigation into Coco Chanel, legendary fashion and fragrance designer, with a little fascism on the side. Her life was long and complicated. Today’s episode includes Coco’s story from childhood through the close of 1919, including tragedy, so many nuns, and the beginning of her fashion career. Also included are her first two powerful lovers, Etienne Balsan and Boy Capel, who really give this orphan a lift. Continue your investigation with ad-free and bonus episodes on Patreon!
