What would fashion world be without Chanel?
If there had been one lady in the clothing industry that has fully modified the meaning of design, then it might be no other than Coco Chanel. Her vision and her concepts have changed the way women dress and her sense of style has remained thru decades and generations. Very much renowned for her easy yet highly classy designs, Chanels presence is still very much felt in present day couture.
The famous small, black dress
To many women, a wardrobe isn’t complete with that famous small black dress. What many women also don’t understand is that this classic has been in existence for over a century. This dress was introduced in a point when bright colours and prints, as well as heavy embroideries ruled the fashion scene. Black was thought to be the color of mourning back then. When Style, in 1926, released the straightforward, long-sleeved black dress in its fashion pages, the clothes industry went horrified 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 face up to the tests of time and become reinvented in years to come. Sleeveless, shortened, collaredthese are the various fluctuations that have popped up in the years that have followed. But all the same, the small black dress exudes a style famous for its simplicity and class.
Other fashion designs by Chanel
Other than the little black dress, Coco Chanel was able to introduce to women designs that are pretty much part of each womans collection. Pea coats as well as bell-bottom pants are designs that were conceptualized by Coco. Puff suits, pleated skirts and the use of triangular headscarfs were parts of the leading edge concepts that have come from this famous fashion designer. Other ideas like the use of knit jersey for fabric as well as the use of fake pearls were made famous by her too.
Taking it a step farther
As her designs became more popular , she ultimately diverted her fashion house into other ventures. The ever ubiquitous Chanel no.5 is a scent that is really familiar to women of all ages. Developed in 1926, the famous perfume gained its name after being picked by Coco Chanel among the 5 smells presented to her by chemist Ernest Beaux, no. Five being the last scent among the five. Renowned for its classic square bottle, Chanel no.5 has been the major money earner for Chanel. Up to the present, Chanel no.5 remains to be the worlds top selling scent.
The production of a makeup line has also been a successful venture for Chanel as it has its continuing demand even in todays market.
Coco Chanel had the trick and instinct for selecting designs which were at the center of every womans sense of style. She in a way, thru her designs, have liberated women and enabled them to go past the dictates of rules associated with fashion back then. Obviously, her inspiration will always remain as powerful as it ever has been.
