So enjoyed meeting you at Lochmore and sorry cannot make trip to Lennoxlove.TBJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13688200062061385515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078357011397157919.post-88424704177664608442010-10-08T00:36:52.315-07:002010-10-08T00:36:52.315-07:00There was a Chanel fabric factory in Huddersfield,...There was a Chanel fabric factory in Huddersfield, rather than perfume. I'm not sure of where it was, but Coco's great niece, Gabrielle, lived in Huddersfield for a while as a young child, while her father was working there for Chanel.<br />As for Bel Respiro: the archivists at Chanel seem to think that the decor of Coco & Igor was fairly true to the spirit of the era (aside from the carpets!). Like you, I thought the film was visually arresting -- and the first ten minutes were amazing, in its recreation of The Rite of Spring. Less convinced by the rest of it, though.Justine Picardiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957669049699860596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078357011397157919.post-60570501832111061602010-10-07T20:54:50.031-07:002010-10-07T20:54:50.031-07:00PS Another six degrees of separation - I had no i...PS Another six degrees of separation - I had no idea there was a Chanel perfume factory in Huddersfield, my home town.

Of course, after having read the book, I kept saying, No! No! It wasn't like that.<br />However, it was visually beautiful. I read on IMDB that there are no photos left of Bel Respiro and the decor was a guess. Have you seen it, Justine?jaywalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18057625356137450284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078357011397157919.post-33715814585479676512010-10-07T14:29:35.658-07:002010-10-07T14:29:35.658-07:00Looking forward to seeing you at the V&A -- ha...Looking forward to seeing you at the V&A -- have you got a ticket?
