Born on 19 August 1883, under the fifth sign of the Zodiac (19 and five, Chanel’s lucky numbers) and under the constellation of the Lion, Gabrielle Chanel was always fascinated by the king of the animals. Being a lion means to have a strong, instinctive and audacious personality and as Mademoiselle once declared “I’m a Leo and, like him, I show my claws to protect myself but, believe me, I suffer more by clawing than by being clawed.”
