Black

Black accentuates the essential and recalls the monastic rigor of the uniforms of the Obazine orphanage. For Gabrielle Chanel it reveals a woman's radiance.

White

White captures light, illuminates the face, and enhances beauty. It's the color of absolute transparency. White reminds Coco of the cornets of the nuns from her childhood and of the communion dress given to her by her father.

Gold

The genuine gold given to Gabrielle by the Duke of Westminster. The imitation gold of the costume jewelry that she endlessly invented. The religious relics and the clerics brocade robes that borne and rented her childhood.
