Born into poverty she rises not only to revolutionize the fashion industry, but to become so wealthy she can throw a giant diamond into the sea to piss off her boyfriend. Buckle up for the bad bitch, Coco Chanel. Dawn is joined in this HILF-ing by Amanda Michelle, (instagram.com/blondebitchla) a comedian, film-maker and fashion connoisseur.
