Coco Chanel

 "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."  (Coco Chanel)




Coco Chanel (1883-1971) is one of the most famous fashion designer, and her work changed women's fashion.

She introduced simple, elegant, relaxed, and functional clothes that express the aspirations of women in the Twentieth Century. She borrowed ideas from men's clothes and created clothes for modern women. 

This shows how world events can influence fashion.
