Fashion giant Karl Lagerfeld, who recently unveiled a new take on the Channel bag, with little enamel ladybugs crawling all over it, explained two big mistakes Coco Channel made towards the end of her career.
"The first was when she said ‘Not one man I have spoken to likes a woman in miniskirts.’ I think no one dared to tell this 86-year-old lady that miniskirts are great and really sexy," he says.
"Number two was when she decided blue jeans were horrible. This was the fashion of the world at that particular moment. “It was the Sixties. No one wanted to be told by an old lady that miniskirts and jeans weren’t chic.” He said.
Consequently, “She lost her power and in the end no one cared about what she did.” Karl added.
