An extraordinary and unique woman. She was a pioneer in fashion.
She was the first woman ever who appeared on the '100 most influential people of the 20th century'-list in the American magazine Time.
Everything she created was different than what the great names in fashion created.
'Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress. You're elegant because you're elegant,' she said and with that made sweaters and pleated skirts with reduced waist for women.
But she didn't only create clothes. She also designed jewelry, bags and parfume (her famous parfume Chanel no.5 was the first parfume that 'didn't smell like flowers but smelled like a woman' - said with Chanel's own words).
A couple of her most famous creations:
- The little black dress
- The Chanel bag
- The Chanel suit
I admire Coco Chanel because she took a huge step by totally transforming fashion in that time and make something entirely different.
People could have hated it and then she would have never become such an icon as she is today, but people did love it and Coco Chanel then enriched the world of fashion.
