Fashion History 101: Coco Chanel
FASHION and HISTORY
Chanel - one of the most elegant brand and logo in fashion. Even the name rolls with elegant ease off the tongue. Before the name was known the world over as a fashion giant, Chanel was a woman. A woman who once said "simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance." With a motto like this, Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel gave birth to the concept of the little black dress.
Coco Chanel was born in August 19, 1883. Like most women who have started to age, she would give people a birth year 10 years later. Her beginnings were very humble - Chanel greeted the world in a poorhouse.
Her first designs were those of hats, more hobby than a full time profession. Apparently her genius was there from the very beginning for this hobby caught the attention of a Parisian elite. The discovery opened French doors for Coco Chanel. A string of romances with wealthy men didn't hurt her career either.
Coco's style was simple elegance all throughout her career. She wrote off the corset and replaced it with simple suits and dresses, women's trousers and the like.
Women all over the world agree with her motto of simple elegance. Agree so much that the madame is the only person from the fashion industry included in Time's 100 most influential person of the 20th century.
Her designs never have and never will go out of style the same way a single white rose is beautiful in the eye of all beholders.
“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”
