i watched an older movie called Coco Chanel a few nights ago -young Chanel as Barbora Bobulova and late Chanel as Shirley MacLaine. There was the war with the Nazis and at the hospital Coco volunteered to design the new nurse's uniforms.. Did that really happen, does anyone know? Right after she had gone into a fabric shop to buy a lot of jersey...
I liked the uniforms a lot, as I did with the uniforms for the workers at her atelier. I can't find pictures of any of this online though
