At Home with Coco Chanel

"Coinciding with the relaunch of Chanel's flagship Paris boutique, 18 Place Vendome, VogueTV became one of the first camera crews ever allowed into Coco Chanel's very own apartment. See the latest jewellery collection, inspired by some of Coco's original diamond designs, as it is unveiled, and witness the artwork and superstitions that made such a legendary designer tick. Vogue's jewellery editor, Carol Woolton, hosts our exclusive film and finds out why Chanel collected ornamental lions, how she brought diamonds back into fashion, how the quilted bag was inspired by her suede sofa, and why the number five became her lucky number" (YouTube introduction)
