Coco Before Chanel

I have been anticipating this film and looking my heart out to find a dvd copy in the streets of Jakarta, Bangkok and Manila. However I am left with nothing in my hand because until now, it's not in sight.

I love Chanel, the name of course but I haven't own a bag yet or its haute couture and I will not shell thousand of dollars for one. However, I adore most of their homme perfumes such as Chanel Egoiste Platinum and Allure which I can afford.

And who can resist the talented and award winning French actress, Audrey Tautou which is the lady in waiting to win an Oscar for me after Marion Cotillard.

Coco Before Chanel is the story of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, who began her life as headstrong orphan, and through an extraordinary journey became the legendary couturier who embodied the modern woman and became a timeless symbol of success, freedom and style. The film portrays the formative years of Chanel's life, the years of Chanel spent discovering and inventing herself.
