Coco Chanel
Every year, I aim to go and grow. Since I have firmly placed a foothold in the fashion world, it’s high time to learn more about my fashion forefathers…and foremothers. This year, I will post DAILY about Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, better know as the unforgettable Coco Chanel. She has single handedly influenced the most influential tastemakers of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Here is a very brief excerpt about her life:
Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel (19 August 1883 – 10 January 1971) was a pioneering French fashion designer whose modernist philosophy, menswear-inspired fashions, and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her an important figure in 20th-century fashion. She was the founder of the famous fashion brand Chanel. Her extraordinary influence on fashion was such that she was the only person in the field to be named on TIME Magazine’s 100 most influential people of the 20th century.
