Coco Chanel

Fashion designer Coco Chanel is famous for her timeless designs, trademark suits and little black dresses. In the 1920s, she introduced her first perfume and introduced the Chanel suit and black dress, with an emphasis on making comfortable clothing for women. She has also become an esteemed style icon known for her simple yet sophisticated outfits mixed with elegant features, such as the appearance of a few pearls. Chanel was raised by nuns who taught her to sew - a skill that would guide her to the work of her life. His nickname came from another profession altogether. During his short career as a musician, Chanel played clubs in Vichy and Moulins where he was nicknamed “Coco.” In her early 20s, Chanel became involved with Etienne Balsan, who offered to help her start a mission business in Paris. He soon left her to become one of his wealthy friends, Arthur “Boy” Capel. Both men were instrumental in Chanel's first fashion project. Chanel became a popular figure in the literary and art world of Paris. He designed costumes for the Ballets Russes and Jean Cocteau gowns, counting Cocteau and painter Pablo Picasso among his friends. In the 1920s, Chanel went about her booming business and became very high. She introduced her first perfume, Chanel No. 5, which was the first to include the designer's name. Chanel died on January 10, 1971, in her hotel room at the Ritz Hotel. He never married, as he once said "I never wanted to rate a man more than a bird." Hundreds gather together at Madeleine Church to bid farewell to the fashion icon. With the deduction, most mourners wore Chanel suits.
