COCO CHANEL and ETIENNE BALSAN and ARTHUR CAPEL








Gabrielle "CoCo" Chanel, was 25 years old, born in 1883 (or so), when Etienne Balsan took her as a mistress. He was a man of wealth who bred horses. Arthur Capel was her next lover...he died in 1919 and it broke her heart. THOSE ENTWINED C's that are on of her symbols are CHANEL and CAPEL... forever!

But CoCo did NOT live a life devoid of other friendships and lovers or good times just because she was an ambitious business woman too! And she remained chic until her death!
