Coco Chanel was a revolution fashion designer and French creator of perfumes. She was born in 1883, in a very poor family that sometimes didn’t even have anything to eat.
When she was 17 years old, she learned to sew, and in this moment she dreamt to become a famous designer.
She opened her first hat’s shop in Paris in 1909 aided by men that she had sex relationships with.
Everybody saw in Coco as the pioneer of feminism and ready to break formulas and schemes. She criticised the feminism fashion (big hats laden with furs and flowers animals, corsets…)
Coco Chanel's mode is more simple, comfortable, straight lines, but with a touch to high distention. One of her famous phrases is: "everything that goes out of fashion is fashion". In this time launched in the market a perfume very important, Chanel Nº5.
Although the recession she designed the costumes by actress like Katherine Hepburn, Grace Kelly…
I admired this woman, because in this time when women were considered few important in the society, Coco transformed a feminism model of fashion and impose an other completely opposite. She was a woman with character and she was capable to dominate mens, they do what she wants.
