      Coco Chanel has a famous quote about how many accessories a woman should wear. The post makes it funny by implying they’re going to quote that quote, but instead references her being an antisemite during WWII to remind people that much of history has been PR whitewashed for capitalistic reasons

        There’s also some timing involved in Adams release of this comic. They just came out with a TV series that is muddying the waters in regards to her activities during World War II.

      I think the point is that the kind of people who care about that kind of thing tend to be bad people with bad opinions.

        Its a fashion joke. If you dont follow the industry or know its history, it may not land for you.

        The thread has the answer now, but to answer directly, she had a famous qoute about everytime you leave the house, remove an accessory. This joke subverts it by shocking the reader by telling them about her being a literal nazi instead.
