Ep 94 - The Most Fashionable Nazi Collaborator: Coco Chanel
Ok, listen. Taylor will die on this hill. Coco Chanel, the iconic fashion designer, was a Nazi Spy during WWII: she and her boyfriend, Baron von Dinklage, a member of the Abwher (Nazi Military Intelligence) tried to use Chanel's connections with Winston Churchill to negotiate peace specifically with the Nazi SS. Knowing this, Taylor is still OK with wearing fake pearls but not OK with quoting Chanel for Women's History Month. Let us know your thoughts.
