Coco Chanel's style and fashion

For a long time, the little black dress has been considered a symbol of impeccable style. We can say the same when we see a sophisticated, elegant suit, a small hat and a pair of dainty gloves. The legendary style of Coco Chanel cannot be confused with anything else... It is always relevant and flawless for absolutely every woman. So what is the secret of his inimitable, unique charm?

First of all, in the simplicity of lines and shapes, in endless elegance. After all, it is not for nothing that there is a wise expression: "All ingenious is simple." Gabrielle (Coco Chanel) She did not like pretentiousness in anything and, having an impeccable, refined taste, was guided by this very simple truth. Her first collections were created from inexpensive and versatile materials - tweed and knitwear, and were of a strict and democratic nature, available at that time to many women.

We can say that Coco Chanel created a revolution - she opened her fashion house in 1909, she saved women from uncomfortable old-fashioned corsets and made everyday clothes comfortable for them. Women's clothing, in some way, also acquired the features of a man's suit - a short haircut, austerity of lines, arrows on trousers, women's blouses with ties, etc. The merit of Coco Chanel is also in the creation of a three-piece trouser suit for women.

However, the legendary symbol of Coco Chanel's style to this day is that very little black dress. It was created in 1926, just in the heyday of the Chanel fashion house, and presented a challenge to modern fashion with many ruffles and frills. Coco Chanel proved that a woman can look extremely attractive even without a lot of rich jewelry and draperies, and the main thing in her is her own essence, mystery and belonging to a certain class.

The second place in symbolism is occupied by a Chanel-style tweed suit. The sleek blazer and iconic pencil skirt instantly won the recognition of women around the world and became a favorite of royals, including Jacqueline Kennedy and many famous Hollywood actresses. Chanel's tweed jacket, as a rule, was trimmed with braid or fringe along the edge, had symmetrical pockets and small metal buttons. Tweed looks are firmly in vogue and appear with enviable regularity in the collections of a wide variety of contemporary designers.

Coco Chanel also belongs to the creation of the famous mini quilted chain bag, as well as a pajamas suit, which modern Hollywood actresses do not hesitate to wear at social events and appear in it in a variety of public places.

Like all fashion designers, Coco Chanel did not limit herself to creating only clothing collections, she also dealt with cosmetics and perfumes. The world famous fragrance Chanel No. 5, created in 1921 with the help of perfumer Ernest Bo, has become a living classic, and another vivid reminder of the legendary and unique, stellar and sophisticated style of Coco Chanel.
