''Chanel No. 1''

"Fashion has two purposes: comfort and love. And beauty comes when fashion reaches these goals." So spoke perhaps the most mysterious fashion designer in history – Coco Chanel, an uncompromising innovator, breaking stereotypes and passionately fighting for true art.

Her entire life is full of paradoxes. She could not boast of noble birth, yet she was accepted into the circles of aristocrats and royals. She was born in poverty, yet managed to reach such heights that she became a patron and gave the world many masterpieces. She created what no real woman can do without today. She forced society to respect women's rights and fought for women to be equal to men.

Therefore, the creators of the play believe that the story of Coco Chanel is worth attention. Let her life be shrouded in myths and secrets – most importantly, this story is similar to the truth that one wants to believe in.
