Who Am I?

I was born in 1883 and died in 171 and was a pioneering French fashion designer whose modernist philosophy, menswear-inspired fashions, and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her an important figure in 20th-century fashion. and was named one of Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century. I was the second daughter of a market stallholder and laundrywoman. I had five siblings: two sisters and three brothers. My mother died of tuberculosis and father left the family. Because of this I spent six years in a orphanage and learned to a seamstress. When I turned eighteen I left the orphanage to become a cabaret singer. I performed in clubs in Vichy and Moulins. When I failed to get steady work as a singer I a met rich, young French textile heir and became an acknowledged mistress. I soon began designing hats as a hobby. My second love financed my first shops and his own clothing style, notably his jersey blazers, inspired my look. After his death I became a licensed modiste (hat maker) and opened a boutique. I launched her career as fashion designer when I opened her my boutique. I created loose casual clothes made out of jersey, a material typically used for men's underwear. I dated some of the most influential men of my time, but never married. At the beginning of World War II I closed my shops. I believed that it was not a time for fashion. I lived in the Hôtel Ritz Paris on and off for more than 30 years, making the hotel my Paris home even during the German occupation. My close relationship with Nazi's during the war, even though I was arrested by the Gestapo as a spy, prevented my after the war collection from being a big hit. My first name will remind you of an ingredient for hot chocolate. You can find my last name if you search the gift from heaven on Bill's blog. Who Am I?
