"Ho hum," you might be thinking, "Not another Chanel biopic! Coco Avant Chanel was less than a year ago!" This is a fictionalised account of Chanel's long-rumoured affair with modernist composer Igor Stravinsky, when the penniless Russian émigré and his family stayed at the couturière's villa outside Paris in 1920.

Description:
It's been a funny old year; the global financial crisis made us long for the finer things in life and low and behold films, exhibitions and more have come to surface about the life of times of Coco Chanel. This international exhibition houses a whole heap of photos of fashion icon Chanel simply going about her life.
This elegant, French-language biopic of iconic fashion designer Gabrielle ‘Coco' Chanel shows how she rose from humble origins to revolutionise the way women dressed. It also reveals how much her business was inspired - and financed - by her early affairs with louche aristocrat Etienne Balsan (Benoît Poelvoorde) and dashing Englishman Arthur ‘Boy' Capel (Alessandro Nivola, who learned French for the part).

FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
