Coco Chanel
Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel was a prolific fashion designer who lived from 1909 until 1971. But, of course, you’re familiar with this fashion legend as Coco Chanel. Despite having her own multi-million dollar brand and corporation, Coco Chanel spent the most of her life without a partner by her side.
Indeed, a deeper examination of the lady behind this ultra-successful corporation reveals that the brightly idealised Coco may not have been as satisfied as we may have assumed. Given that she was one of the world’s most recognised fashion gurus, this goddess had her fair share of suitors, the most of whom were respectfully turned down. “In order to be irreplaceable, one must constantly be different,” Coco commented on multiple occasions when questioned about her love life that was kept hidden from the public view. Fortunately for her suitors, they are no longer available.
