The same joke with Hugo Boss would amount to "Nazi bad", which is true but not terribly funny.

I wasn't talking about it not being Coco Chanel, but not knowing her. I didn't knew her and found it funny because I assumed she was an important person in fashion.

It the joke was made with someone unrelated to fashion it would be worse.

Hugo Boss was a fashion icon and a literal nazi, but the joke wouldn't work with him either. It works because it's a bait and switch: when the girl asks "you know what Coco Chanel said...", you're expecting the famous "Before you leave the house, look at yourself in the mirror and take one thing off."
