=== 3. My first taste of clothing success came from a dress that I fashioned out of an old jersey on a chilly day. In response to the many people who asked about where I got the dress, I offered to make one for them. My fortune is built on that old jersey that I’d put on because it was cold in Deauville. ===

=== 4. Some say that my nickname came during my brief career as a singer; I performed in clubs in Vichy and Moulins where I was called “Coco". The name comes from one of the songs I used to sing. I say that it is a “shortened version of cocotte, the French word for ‘kept woman,”   ===

=== 6. Actually there were some people who thought that I'm crazy and they used to poke fun at me. But thank g-d, they didn’t really go against me. However I believe in my direction and I don’t care. ===

=== 8. It’s a little bit hard for me to talk about it' but I don’t really have a family because after my mother’s death, I was put in an orphanage by my father who worked as a peddler. I was raised by nuns who taught me how to sew—a skill that would lead to my life’s work. ===

=== 10. In 1938 I retired from the fashion business, just when I was 55 years old. However, 16 years later I made a determined comeback after becoming tired seeing French fashion become dominated by men. ===

We choose to write about Coco Channel because we requested to do a project about a woman who changed the world. Our thought was to find a woman who changes the world in a subject that connected to us. We researched about a subject which interesting us. We found that Channel was a leader of fashion revolution. We connected to her because we couldn’t see the world without the changes that she made in the world. Till then women were dressed for the men, even though it was uncomfortable. Coco Channel went against the flow. It interested us to learn about her revolution and about her life.

We learned that in the 19th century women were dressed uncomfortably with girdles. Coco Channel lead a revolution and thanks to her we can be comfortable with what we wear.
