Chickstory- serving you orally since 2020! This week we chat about women in Faaaaarrrsshhun and Annie tells Yvie all about one of Coco Chanel's rivals, Elsa Schiaparelli. Elsa was the first French-Italian female designer to merge art and fashion and her surrealist designs in the early 20th century meant many heralded her as a fashion genius and, she invented the wrap dress 40 years before Diane von Furstenberg made it her thing! We also talk about an awesome initiative called Kiva - that allows people to lend money via the Internet to low-income entrepreneurs and students in 77 countries!

We stop waffling at 13:45
