"""Those Grand Dukes were all the same – they looked marvelous but there was nothing behind. Green eye, fine hands and shoulders, peace-loving timorous. They drank so as not to be afraid. They were tall and handsome and splendid, but behind it all – nothing just vodka and the void” (Picardie 128).
Chanel was only human, and all caught up in all the glitz of life I found that Chanel really stuck to who she was. I absolutely love this quote found about the middle of the biography. Naturally, as society would see, Dukes to be grand and “perfect” however; I felt a real connection with Chanel. Chanel didn’t believe it, nor do I… no one is perfect. People do have problems, fears and obstacles in life, but with a perfect image set there comes huge responsibilities. On the other hand at that time and age Alcohol was presented for guests, and void. As a reminder it was the time of WWII in which there was depression as well.
In saying so, this quote also proves my previous point; Chanel was human even behind it all…
