C H A N E L

'In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different' Coco Chanel.

CHANEL has been shining in luxurious fashion industry since 1919 starting from her inspiration to create hat for her friends as it became very famous until bunch of hat collections leak out then CHANEL NO.5 was later introduced in 1921 in her fragrance line.

The dresses in 'Tonight or never', the most popular movie in 1931, was also styled by Coco Chanel as her talent was shining brilliantly that no one could ever pull down.

Coco is the revolutioner. She hated clothes with coquettish style and corset which makes a girl looks just like a walking-curtain so she reduced every possibility to maximize details and stick to simple and loose style. 






She introduced androgynous looks to the fashion world believing that a girl could dress up in a boy-ish style as well as in the same time, keeping femininity sense inside. In this sense, it doesn't mean that her clothes were created as if they were for men. For instance, her tweet suit as the material looks so soft and darling but the suit style itself represents successful, comfortable and luxury. This trend has been fulfilled the world fashion with simplicity but elegance looks, the perfect combination of masculin and feminine is that I'd say!
