What would fashion be without Chanel?
If there had been one woman in the fashion industry which has absolutely modified the meaning of design, then it’d be no apart from Coco Chanel. Her vision and her concepts have changed the way women dress and her sense of style has stayed through decades and generations. Very much known for her straightforward yet highly stylish designs, Chanels presence is still much felt in present day couture.
The famous little, black dress
To many ladies, a wardrobe is never complete with that famous small black dress. What many women also don’t understand is this classic has been in existence for over a century. This dress was introduced in a time when bright colors and prints, as well as heavy embroideries dominated the fashion scene. Black was thought to be the color of mourning back then. When Style, in 1926, released the easy, long-sleeved black dress in its fashion pages, the clothing business went aghast with what they saw prompting designer Paul Poiret to remark, What has Chanel invented? De luxe poverty.
What they didnt know was that this design would at last stand up to the tests of time and become reinvented in years ahead. Sleeveless, shortened, collaredthese are the various fluctuations that have cropped up in the years that have followed. But all the same, the small black dress exudes a style known for its simplicity and class.
Other fashion designs by Chanel
Apart from the small black dress, Coco Chanel was able to introduce to girls designs that are pretty much part of every womans collection. Pea coats as well as bell-bottom pants are designs that were conceptualized by Coco. Gasp suits, pleated skirts and the utilisation of triangular headbands were parts of the cutting edge concepts that have come from this famous fashion designer. Other ideas such as the use of knit jersey for fabric as well as the usage of fake pearls were made famous by her too.
Taking it a step farther
As her designs became more and more popular, she eventually diverted her fashion house into other ventures. The ever omnipresent Chanel no.5 is a perfume that is really familiar to women of all ages. Formulated in 1926, the famous scent gained its name after being picked by Coco Chanel among the five scents presented to her by chemist Ernest Beaux, no. 5 being the last smell among the five. Known for its classic square bottle, Chanel no.5 has been the major money earner for Chanel. Up to the present, Chanel no.5 is yet to be the worlds top-selling perfume.
The production of a makeup line in addition has been a successful venture for Chanel as it has its constant demand even in todays market.
Coco Chanel had the knack and instinct for selecting designs which were at the guts of each womans sense of style. She in a way, through her designs, have liberated women and helped them to go beyond the dictates of rules linked with fashion back then. Obviously, her inspiration will always remain as powerful as it ever has been.
