So goes the common saying of the western world, or folklorists, or the bodega boy when spare change falls from your pocket unknowingly. But for Gabrielle \u201cCoco\u201d Chanel &#8211; a woman who introduced jersey as an elegant fabric for daywear, trousers for les femmes sauntering la promenade de la C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur and hands free handbags \u2013 it\u2019s good things that triple up.<\/p>\n<p>Prized filmmaker Sam Taylor-Johnson recently photographed Coco\u2019s space at 31 Rue Cambon for Second Floor, an exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery that will open on September 12. During the shoot, Taylor-Johnson was entranced by the couplings she found in Coco\u2019s home: lovers, lovebirds, and Japanese deer that had been left to their own devices since Coco\u2019s death in 1971. Her home has never been openly showcased to the public,<br \/>\nuntil now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I went about photographing items, it became a study with many layers,\u201d Taylor-Johnson explains. \u201cThere was clearly a strong mystical and spiritual aspect to [Coco\u2019s] life, with the crystal ball, the Buddha, and the crucifix, as well as her intense love for Boy Capel. These \u2018couplings\u2019 showed a sense of love, loss and unity. Every object seemed to have been chosen not for the sake of the design, but for its tangible qualities. They felt very sensuous, like they had been touched and held frequently over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coco Chanel had a lot to say about what to do when leaving the house (\u201cOnce you\u2019ve dressed, and before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take at least one thing off.\u201d) but what would she have said of her own home? Dating back to the 18th century, the streets in this part of Paris were built after the French Revolution. Coco purchased 31 Rue Cambon in 1918 and allotted floors to suit her needs: the boutique was on the ground floor, while the large reception room on the first floor was used to present her collections. A mirrored stairwell led to her residence, and on the third floor above was her studio, which Karl Lagerfeld works from today.<\/p>\n<p>Famed for her portraits of well-known personalities, Taylor-Johnson went into the project unsure of her capability to photograph such a famed interior. \u201cI went into the apartment full of trepidation,\u201d she says. \u201cI did not research in advance. I thought, \u2018Why not just go and do it?\u2019 Sometimes, if you look at past images like the legendary Horst portrait of Coco Chanel in the chair, those photographs influence you. I went in as a blank slate.\u201d<br \/>\nThe exhibition \u2018Second Floor\u2019 will opens at the Saatchi Gallery today September for 10 days (until\u00a022nd September).\u00a0 In total 34 images of Mademoiselle Chanel\u2019s apartment by Sam Taylor-Johnson will be on display.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Second-Floor-Staircase-2.jpg\"><img
