Arthur Boy Capel
因为这部电影，度娘了Igor Stravinsky和Arthur BOY Capel. Coco的情人很多，一生中起码有7-8个记录在案的。最爱的对她影响最大的，是BOY。她跟了他7年。他1919年车祸死了。Coco说BOY曾要求她嫁给他，但是她说想先自己创业赚钱，她很后悔没有答应。Coco说要从此穿黑色来纪念BOY，并且再也不会嫁给任何人。第一个承诺，很快就随风而去了；第二个承诺，从没有失言。有言Coco Chanel的白色，不是婚纱白，而是另外一种白，是对于婚纱白的向往和遗憾。
下面这篇讲Coco和Boy的文章，是网上找的。BOY赞助了她的最初的几个店，赞赏她从女士紧身衣中解放出来（这个片子最初的几个镜头也有）。他的审美品位给了她灵感。
不能否认Stravinsky是个大音乐家，也毫无疑问Coco欣赏他的才华和男性魅力。Stravinsky这样的男人，当然会被与众不同的Coco吸引，而且妻子病重，他又住在Coco家，并且Coco主动地诱惑了他。当时他和Coco都处于情感的敏感脆弱期，他的事业不顺，战争中的Russia又回不去；而Coco刚失去BOY，需要安慰和强心针。但是对Stravinsky来说，他的妻子Catherine才是最重要的伴侣，妻子懂得他的音乐，他们还有四个孩子。他不可能也不需要永远依附在一个女人的资助下，也不会抛弃他的妻子。Coco深知这点，适时地放弃了他。Stravinsky和Coco的恋情很短。
我们不是Chanel，也不是Stravinsky，无法猜测这段恋情在他们心中到底有多重。时间长短不完全说明问题，就象我会清楚地记得在霍桑大街上，我和华逛街时那个擦肩而过的男人，穿着波西米亚而破旧，个子高高的，却有着王子般的气质。有些人惊鸿一瞥，却令人难忘。但是很肯定的是，BOY在Chanel心中很重；妻子Catherine在Stravinsky心中很重。
How Coco Chanel & Arthur Capel Changed the Fashion World Forever
By Fashionvisuals @fashion_visuals
Gabriel (Coco) Chanel was one of the most famous fashion designers around the world and her name still lives on through the Chanel brand. Her nickname Coco is rumoured to have come from the songs she sang but she confirmed that it was a shortened version of cocotte – the French word for ‘kept woman’.
What is fascinating about Coco is not only her extraordinary affect on the fashion industry before and 40 years after her death but her upbringing and love life has also captivated people across the globe.
In her early life Coco was raised in an orphanage where she was taught to sew and this skill played a significant role in her entire life. Before focusing on fashion, Gabrielle had a brief career as a singer which is where she met a man who would open all the doors to all the right people.
Coco became involved with, Etienne Balsan and she lived with him as his mistress in his impressive mansion just outside of Paris and it was here where she mingled with extremely wealthy and upper class people. This was where Chanel met, Arthur ‘Boy’ Capel and she instantly became entrapped by his cool and eclectic charm.
Boy & Coco
Boy was an Englishmen who was a self made wealthy man, polo player, ship-owner, politician and tycoon who is now more well known for his 9 year love affair with, Coco Chanel.
Many people don’t realize the impact that Boy had on Cocos life as not only was he her lover but he was also her fashion muse and the person who financed her first ever fashion shop in Paris.
Arthur’s sense of style very much inspired Cocos designs as he inspired her to put a squared masculine touch on her classic clothing styles. It was also one of Boys jerseys which Chanel re-invented and fashioned into a dress on a chilly day that changed the way women dressed forever as during this time women wore corsets which were uncomfortable.
Boy & Coco
Coco stated many years after on the subject of the jersey; “My fortune is built on that old jersey that I’d put on because it was cold in Deauville”, and Deauville is where she spent a lot of her affairs with Boy – as he was a married man.
Chanel was all for designing what she wanted to create rather than following trends which included tailored suits and clothing, no corsets, striped tops and black clothing and everything was based around comfort to enable women to breathe, eat and move around without being suffocated with a corset.
Chanel in her younger days
These weren’t the only things that revolutionized fashion but Chanel created the little black dress in the 1920s which is still to this day an item of clothing in every woman’s wardrobe that they go-to on a regular basis.
The LBD was inspired after Arthur’s tragic death in 1919 due to a fatal car crash in his Rolls Royce which he was being chauffeured in whilst traveling to visit Coco for a Christmas rendezvous. Chanel went through her grieving period of wearing black and claimed the whole world would wear black with her which is where the LBD evolved from because at the time black was tied solely hand in hand with death.
You often saw Coco wearing black & pearls!
Chanel showed the world how black clothing can be chic and how it can be worn for evening wear and due to her relationship with, Boy she has changed fashion forever and allowed it to evolve from corsets to modern day class.
One of the heart breaking factors about Cocos life is Boy once asked for her hand in marriage which she refused as she wanted to make her own money first. After his fatal death, Chanel had stated that Arthur Capel had been the love of her life and she never married anyone after his death, and it’s thanks to Arthur Capels style and finance that the Chanel brand still exists today.
