It has been long enough before I posted another style icon. And as far as I know, this post is truly the iconest of them all. A person in the fashion world, who says that he/she does not know Coco Chanel, is one of the biggest hypocrite. This woman is known for class, elegance, and style.Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel (19 August 1883 – 10 January 1971), a French fashion designer, founded the famous designer brand Chanel. She was the only fashion designer to be named on Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century.
She thinks modern. She pursues practicality. And she adores simplicity. This descriptions of her brought this woman of fashion to the limelight and got considered as one of the most important people of the century.
Chanel was not laid down to this world in beautiful linens but in rags. Her mother was a laundrywoman and her father was an itinerant street peddler. This rags-to-riches story of Chanel makes her more special to many people as an influence and great role model.
She started off as a modiste (hat maker) and was able to launch a line called Chanel Modes. Later on, she evolved into a fashion designer and launched a line called Chanel Biarritz.
In 1971, Chanel was ailing at age 87 but still continued with her work.She died on Sunday, January, 10th at the Hotel Ritz where she had resided for more than thirty years. She had gone for a long drive that afternoon and, not feeling well, had retired early to bed.
Her creativity and great imagination has brought the fashion industry a charm. It is not just her sense of style that people admire but also her pursuit to making people more admirable as well.It is not just the lines and colours of the clothes she sew that makes her so special to many people of the world. She is so much more than that because she gives inspiration to many people.
Though she is not here anymore, her words are so powerful that it stays with us forever. The Coco Chanel quotes which makes everybody feel beautiful and elegant still lives.
Here are some of the famous lines and quotes by the legend Coco Chanel.
Many of us live by the Coco Chanel quotes. And we all adore her. It's truly a wonderful world to live in with so many creative people around like her. It's too bad that we cannot anymore be able to see her make designs again.
