Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel (1883-1971), nicknamed Coco, was a world-renowned fashion designer. She revolutionized women's fashion, but her life was not strewn with roses. In 1905, she performed in “La Rotonde” café in the evenings. There she sang a song about a cat that disappeared on the roofs of Paris “Qui qu’a vu Coco.” Thanks to this song, Gabrielle gained fame among the officers and artists visiting the café and quickly found her way into the French elite, where she was first called “Coco.” The youthful friendships made in the café “La Rotonde” opened Coco's doors to the big world. ¹⁾
