HOW WOMEN’ FASHION WAS CHANGED BY COCO CHANEL

Coco Chanel is a part of fashion history and has been consecrated in the Olympus of fashion designers.

This year marks 50 years since the death of the woman that changed fashion forever, becoming one of the most important couturiers of 20th century, and creating a brand new style for women, still appreciated all over the world.

During the years, she introduced many important style innovations, changing women’s fashion as never before. Chanel, for example, popularized women’s trousers as a fashion garment, then she turned stripes into fashion, by creating the nautical look that became a hit among stylish women. Coco also introduced costume jewellery to her collections and made history by inventing the “little black dress,” look and the Chanel suit, which popularity continues through the years.
