Coco Avant Chanel UPT GAZETTE TERM 2 2010 Stephen Kirton July 2010 Coco Avant Chanel “The word Chanel immediately invokes a sense of understated beauty and opulence”. ‘Coco Avant Chanel’, with features such as its sim- mering, nostalgic score by Alexandre Desplat, expertly evokes this sense of grandeur and elegance. Directed by the guiding hands of Anne Fontaine, ‘Coco Avant Chanel’ beautifully portrays Gabrielle Chanel’s rise to fame. By adeptly bringing to life this fashion icon, Audrey Tautou’s insightful performance makes this biopic an enthralling tale of the highs and lows of Coco’s extraordinary life. With splendid costumes true to those Chanel would have designed and worn, and down-to-earth camera work, this period drama stands out from the rest. Growing up with her sister in an orphanage, waiting for her father every Sunday, Chanel had a hard start to life. A cabaret performer for drunk soldiers, Coco had already begun to step out of the confines of her time by defying the trend to wear corsets. She developed a fascination for wearing men’s clothing, with straw hats instead feathers and, as she so rightly put it, the “meringues” that other women were wearing on their heads. Coco began to make her own way, bringing others along for the ride, eventually becoming the symbol of success, freedom and style we know her as today. The music used in the movie is incredibly heartfelt and true to Chanel’s emotions. At the start of the film, when Gabrielle Chanel is in a cart with her sister being brought to the orphanage, the music expresses without words her resigna- tion at being taken into the confines of the building. The soft notes of the piano reflect Chanel’s honest, kind personality, blending with the mellow harmony of the cello and inducing a sense of longing for the familiar past. When the pizzicato violin and the triangle begin, they bring a sense of curiosity and wonder to the orchestration. At the moment when Chanel first sees the place where she is to live, a sad, subtle piano melody emerges, bringing depth to the audience’s understanding of Chanel’s emotions. The music grows with Chanel, becoming cheeky and adventurous along with her. When Coco decides to leave her work as a seamstress later in the film the score is sad, but curious, merging into the wonderful tinkling of a vibraphone. When the score finally breaks into a re-occurrence of the opening melody it is somehow richer, showing how Coco has developed from her childhood into a woman of prestige and status. All of these combine to make the soundtrack of the film both evocative and captivating. Audrey Tautou brings an air of mystery and elegance to her role. She contrasts enormously with Benoit Poelvoorde’s Etienne Balsan, who is cocky and self-absorbed, while fusing seamlessly with the charming Englishman, Arthur (Boy) Capel, played by Alessandro Nivola. When Coco first meets Etienne, Tautou’s cold indifference and Poelvoorde’s confident, witty style makes for a scene with interesting contrasts. “When I’m bored I feel ancient” Tautou says, with little colour to her tone and a stoney look in her eyes. Etienne replies with “how old do you feel now?” The strong look on her face and clipped way she says “a thousand years old” show Coco’s distaste for Balsan. When she is with Boy, however, Tautou’s eyes light up and the pleased expression on her face takes years off her. When Boy pays an unexpected visit to Chanel in her studio, she rushes upstairs after him, Tautou’s eager UPT GAZETTE TERM 2 2010 1 body language and gleeful expression successfully showing the carefree demeanour Chanel adopts when with Boy. Throughout the film Coco’s outfits distinguish her from the crowd. When she goes to the beach, every single woman is wearing a puffy white dress with a massive hat, every piece of jewelry they own slung around their necks. Coco, however, is wearing a simple grey dress with a straw hat. Not only do Chanel’s clothes differ- entiate her from the rest but they also reflect Chanel’s creative personality. Later she creates a new look for herself by sewing the cuffs and collar of Etienne’s shirt onto a dress she used to perform in, making a simple yet sophisticated outfit for formal occasions. The costumes become progressively more extravagant throughout the movie, mirroring Coco’s taste as it becomes more grand and she begins to design her own clothes. In the closing scene of the film, the costumes are incredibly beautiful, radiating opulence and signifying the blossom- ing stage at which Coco is at in her life. The camera work used in the film gives it a very realistic mood, almost one of being there. This is often achieved by tracking, the camera performing the movements one’s eyes would normally make when casually watching something. When the film opens, a shaky camera technique is used to emphasise the movement of the cart as it rattles along the country lanes. A point of view shot, showing what Gabrielle would have seen when looking between the bars of the cart, gives a sense of her being imprisoned. In a contrast to this confinement, the final scene of the movie uses a steadicam which zooms towards Chanel through a runway created by her models. Climbing the curving staircase, it gives the illusion of walking up to her yourself - a most magical feeling. The camera comes to a halt in a medium close up of Tautou, the picture turning black and white, becoming a mirror image of a picture of Coco Chanel herself and cleverly recalling her famous reflected ‘c’ logo. Coco Chanel continued to work until the day of her death, on the 10th January 1971. It was a Sunday, the day of rest, the day she never liked. ‘Coco Avant Chanel’ pays tribute to the triumphs and blows of Chanel’s life. It is frank, but very glamorous, a beautiful depiction of an extraordinary woman. The film captures and reflects this beauty in its shimmering soundtrack, insightful acting, glamorous costume and well crafted cinematography. “I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an op- posite which I would like”, Coco Chanel said, and this film shows the transformation she undertook to live out this motto. Rachel Thomas TWO GIRLS CLEANING THEIR ROOMS Harikoa Bronsdaughter-George I One bed, one desk. Bestrewn with book, magazines and eloquent memorabilia, Portraying the history of the room of a girl of thirteen. Move a foot, turn over a new leaf, awaken movement in a pile of dust, Polish the anxieties of a developing mind that have been left around, Growing mould in the carpets, sewing shadows in the sheets, tangled up in webby corners, waiting. Waiting for something sweet to spray away the past. Put up new curtains to attract the sunshine, And don’t make the room cold when they shut. Uncrumpled sheets with air enough to sleep in, without making it preferable to bitter wake- fulness, Wandering an eye around a musty roof. A new shelf for the books to enable free walking, Give space to centimetres that were formerly imaginary numbers, Add a touch of colour to the air, To envelop the walls in tenderness, To make the room in general jubilant, comfortable and carefree, As good a place to live in, As the room around the corner Belonging to her eighteen-year-old sister. 2 UPT GAZETTE TERM 2 2010 II Hugging the star shaped cushion that lasted from her fifth birthday, The woman lies on her bed and thinks, As she surveys treasures collected in her youth, Hidden intimately among the school work of combined years, Though the past is pretty, it’s place is in the past. Out with the old books of knowledge learnt by heart. The song books and plays go together, the paint share a box with the pastels, and the time has come for things to go back. Shells to the ocean, sticks to their trees, the clothes to more loving wearers. Now devoid of unwanted trinkets, the jewels of a life-time are cleared away in the mockery of chests that is a cupboard. The view of the door takes in that cupboard, table, drawer, bed and star pillow, of a thousand different places, a thousand different times. The room is now ready, to be filled with the trickle of new trinkets. Accumulated presents of the life, achievements and moments, of a girl beginning university. THE PRECIPICE “Mercy is for the weak, the feeble-minded. You do not show mercy to the heretic, so that they might influence your mind towards the darkness they worship. And neither would you need to show mercy to the innocent, for those that stand in your way are nothing but the seeds of blasphemy for the enemies that you combat.” -- Brother Derick, Hereticus Exemplare. Two men were at the precipice of a cliff, high above in the snowy caps of mountains few traveled, or bothered to think of. Only one wielded a blade, clad in hardy steel armor that, in another environment, may have shone like a beacon to the sun. His tabard, its outline a dark crimson red contrasting against the pure white of the rest, was well enough a replacement with it’s symbol of flame. Here, now, this was terror. The other man bled, knelt below the armored knight while clothed only in dark robes, ripped and torn and painted red with the blood of its wearer.

  • Representations of the Olfactory Concept in Advertising: a Case Study
    Argumentum. Journal of the Seminar of Discursive Logic, Argumentation Theory and Rhetoric 16 (1): 80-93, 2018 Brînduşa-Mariana AMALANCEI “Vasile Alecsandri” University of Bacău (Romania) Representations of the Olfactory Concept in Advertising: A Case Study Abstract: The analysis of a perfume advertising image can be done from multiple perspectives, the endeavors to provide possible reading paths and interpretations being among the most diverse in the literature. Whether it is to meet the consumers’ psychological desires, to relate to fashion trends, or to create a rare scent, perfume advertising is a real challenge, which often needs to be answered just by juxtaposing an image and the product name. Our paper highlights the way in which the correlation between the visual and olfactory forms of perfumes is attempted, through product name, vial, characters, context and text (Julien 1997). Because in many advertisements the perfume is replacing the character, we chose as a case study an advertising image that we consider illustrating in this respect, that of the new olfactory creation of Chanel, Gabrielle, which appeared in September 2017. We have to mention that the launch of this product has been marked by the appearance of homage articles in glossy magazines, which contributes, through the information provided, to a better understanding of the message the advertisement transmits. Keywords: image, visual identity, olfactory concept, olfactory memory, brand name, perfume name, perfume bottle, advertising context 1. Fragrances ‒ Vectors of Communication Considered a privileged way of communication, perfumes are an identity mark (Vettraino-Soulard 1992, 106). We can often hear in advertisements about perfumes for strong women, perfumes that suit active women, perfumes for romantic women, etc.

  • “The Most Courageous Act Is Still to Think for Yourself. Aloud.” Coco Chanel
    COCO CHANEL – MAVERICK TO ICON “The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.” Coco Chanel Coco Chanel needs little introduction as a woman whose name has come to be synonymous with classic fashion and effortless style. During her lifetime she became the most famous female couturier in Europe and after her death was listed on the TIME’s 100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century. Few know the story behind the rise of the woman behind the interlocking CC emblem that represents the multibillion-dollar, privately owned luxury goods Chanel empire of today. What can we learn from this pioneering businesswoman that is relevant to this day? Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel was born 19th August 1883. Her mother was an unmarried laundry woman. Her father a nomadic street vendor. The couple had five children, including young Coco Chanel, all living in a crowded one-room lodging. When Chanel was just 12 years old, her mother died of tuberculosis. Her brothers were sent to work as farm labourers, and Chanel and her sisters were sent to the convent Aubazine which ran an orphanage in central France. It was in this frugal and austere period of her childhood that Chanel learned to sew, the skill that would make her an international fashion icon. At age 18 Chanel moved to a boarding house for Catholic girls in the town of Moulins. She sought work as a seamstress and in her free time sang in a cabaret bar frequented by cavalry officers. By the time she was 23, Coco had come to realise she would not have a serious stage career.

Fashion design is a form of art dedicated to the creation of clothing and other lifestyle accessories. Modern fashion design is divided into two basic categories: haute couture and ready-to-wear. The haute couture collection is dedicated to certain customers and is custom sized to fit these customers exactly. In order to qualify as a haute couture house, a designer has to be part of the Syndical Chamber for Haute Couture and show a new collection twice a year presenting a minimum of 35 different outfits each time. Ready-to-wear collections are standard sized, not custom made, so they are more suitable for large production runs. They are also split into two categories: designer/creator and confection collections. Designer collections have a higher quality and finish as well as an unique design. They often represent a certain philosophy and are created to make a statement rather than for sale.

  • 28Th August 2014
    th 1 Published: 28 August 2014 The image that Gabrielle Chanel created has been carried out through her designs for the past 100 years. She has created a timeless brand that is the epitome of good taste, class, quality and luxury. Her image consistently refers to her traditions while still placing the Chanel brand at the peak of contemporary fashion. In June 1998 Gabrielle Chanel was the only fashion designer to be named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century. “The clothes she created changed the way women looked and how they looked at themselves. She mixed up the vocabulary of male and female clothes.” Coco Chanel” allowed women to be both feminine and feminist.” (Sischy, 1998) “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion IMAGE 1: VOGUE PARIS MARCH 1984: INES DE LA FRESSANGE has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is 2 happening.”Coco Chanel said. (Wolfendale, 2011) The image created in her designs by the use of simple styling, particular colors and symbols defines Chanel as a brand as does her unique choice of customized font, her interlocking double “C” logo, the ubiquitous white camellia, quilted handbag, chains and pearls. This image illustrates the story of Gabrielle Chanel’s life. According to the Chanel philosophy, simple understated elegance represents self confidence, success and sophistication. The Chanel image portrays a depth of cultural appreciation of contemporary society. By remaining faithful to the origins and traditions created by Gabrielle Chanel’s story the Chanel brand has continued to demonstrate the timelessness of her values in its contemporary designs.
