What would fashion be without Chanel?

If there had been one lady in the clothing industry that has absolutely modified the meaning of design, then it would be no apart from Coco Chanel. Her vision and her concepts have changed the way women dress and her sense of style has stayed through decades and generations. Very much renowned for her simple yet highly classy designs, Chanels presence is still very much felt in present day couture.

The famous small, black dress
To many girls, a wardrobe is never complete with that famous little black dress. What many women also don't get is this classic has been in existence for at least a century. This dress was introduced in a point when bright colors and prints, as well as heavy embroideries ruled the fashion scene. Black was said to be the colour of mourning back then. When Vogue, in 1926, released the simple, long-sleeved black dress in its fashion pages, the clothing business 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 eventually face up to the tests of time and become reinvented in years ahead. Sleeveless, shortened, collaredthese are the numerous adaptations that have popped up in the years that have followed. But all the same, the little black dress exudes a style known for its simplicity and class.

Other fashion designs by Chanel
Other than the little black dress, Coco Chanel was able to introduce to ladies designs that are pretty much part of every womans collection. Pea coats as well as bell-bottom pants are designs that were conceptualized by Coco. Puff suits, pleated skirts and the utilisation of triangular scarfs were parts of the cutting edge concepts that have come from this famous fashion designer. Other ideas like the use of knit jersey for fabric as well as the utilisation of pretend pearls were made famous by her as well .

Taking it a step further
As her designs became more popular, she finally diverted her fashion house into other ventures. The ever ubiquitous Chanel no.5 is a scent that's terribly familiar to ladies of all ages. Concocted in 1926, the famous perfume gained its name after being picked by Coco Chanel among the five scents presented to her by chemist Ernest Beaux, no. 5 being the last smell among the 5. Famous for its classic square bottle, Chanel no.5 has been the major money earner for Chanel. Up to the present, Chanel no.5 has still 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 choosing designs which were at the guts of each womans sense of style. She in a way, through her designs, have liberated ladies and aided them to go beyond the dictates of rules linked with fashion back then. Clearly, her inspiration will always remain as robust as it ever has been.
