Chanel was created none other than coco Chanel or Gabrielle Chanel. one of the most inspirational women that has worked in the fashion industry. From a rough start in life as an orphan , Gabrielle developed her business to be a massive success, making her have that iconic status. Coco founded Chanel, one of the most famous and recognized fashion company in the world. 1910 was the year coco opened her shop in pairs and from then her designed developed to being completely original garments, such as the little black dress in 1926 and the iconic tweet jacket .Chanel's womenswear fashion developed into more simplistic designs compared to the past era. coco had a boyish figure herself, therefore taking inspiration from masculine attire. Coco Chanel transformed the female silhouette, shortening the dresses, revealing ankles, freed the waist by eliminating corsets, revived jersey, cut hair and bronzed her skin. Her designs were more practical, meaning they were comfortable and easy for women to wear. "Enabling women to move, to not feel like they are in a costume" Coco Chanel. she adopted the elegance, movement, minimalism and straight cut into her tweet suit that ultimately changed fashion forever.
Chanel introduced suits in jersey and tweed, shift chemisis, costume jewellery, wide bottom trousers and of course the little black dress. But what Chanel was highly known for was the promotion of the white, black and grey colour palette, which she acquired the taste since she was a child in the abbey of Aubanzine. "These women I'm bloody going to dress them in black" Coco Chanel.
and the key to coco's success.
Coco Chanel was such an inspirational women and had a major impact on fashion. Nearly half a century after the death of Gabrielle, yet the style of Chanel still endures. It makes me think, without these iconic designers like Coco Chanel, we all might still be in these huge dresses with tight uncomfortable corsets. Thank goodness for Chanel.
