Coco Chanel (quokk.au)
submitted 6 months ago by [A] to c/comics@lemmy.blahaj.zone
 
A four-panel comic showing two women preparing for dinner. One, wearing a black dress and accessories, asks for advice. The other, with blue hair, quotes an antisemitic statement attributed to Coco Chanel, then mentions the fashion designer's history as a Nazi collaborator before dismissively changing the subject.

The comic flippantly disregards Chanel's advice re: accessories based on the premise that because she was a Nazi collaborator her opinions, and those influenced by them, can and should be ignored.

If that is too nuanced for you to be able to determine a stance then there's no hope for you.

    i mean, i only kind of like fashion (i just like halloween a little bit a lot too much and also putting outfits together and thrift shopping and going to the discount rack maybe okay) and i've been an art model (not a fashion model except the one time because i'm a teensy bit deformed even though i'm gorgeous), a few of my relatives either are or have been fashion models. also art models. so yeah i'm just now realizing there's charcoals of my bait and tackle and numerous buttholes out there somewhere that's fun. i hope they put them someplace classy, like over the toilet. i just don't know why i didn't bother to keep one for myself. probably the numerous buttholes part. uh i think i might have forgotten one of these thank you damn cat ) anyways my point is this is the first time i heard of Chanel's accessory advice. Now i gotta get me some summer scarves and go all extra thank you for the inspiration my wife will... actually probably kind of like it.

    Whether or not you agree with it has nothing to do with the fact that the author's position is pretty clear.
