Today, design is overseen by Karl Lagerfeld, one of the most respected designers in modern times. Proving its timelessness, Chanel is also still one of the most popular labels in modern fashion. The brand released lines of Chanel clothes, bags, shoes, perfumes, accessories and other items. The fashion house quickly became the leading brand in clothing, and throughout the rest of the century they were responsible for dressing the world’s biggest and brightest stars. The Eternal Appeal of ChanelĬhanel was launched in 1909 as a millinery store, on the ground floor of an apartment belonging to Coco Chanel’s lover at the time. She was considered responsible for ushering in a new era of easy fashion for women, slowly overtaking the rigid, pinched style that was so popular during the time. The clothing she created was made from relaxed materials such as jersey and tricot - these laid-back designs are what made Chanel clothing famous. Upon leaving the convent she worked as a seamstress, and in 1913 she opened her first self-titled boutique. She was sent to a convent in central France and while living there she learned to sew, a pivotal moment in her development. Chanel experienced a turbulent childhood, but found her calling at a young age.
Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, better known as Coco Chanel, was a French fashion designer best known for her work with eponymous fashion house Chanel.
