Chanel

Couturier Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel established her eponymous atelier around 1910 and conceived an innovative fashion aesthetic that ascended the then passé silhouettes of corsets by liberating the female body with sporty leisure outfits made of jersey. Marked by understated elegance and well–designed simplicity, Chanel created a legacy of iconic pieces like her signature fragrance, quilted bag, tweed suit, and little black dress which are still admired today.
