Chanel
Coco. Couture. Chic. Three words to describe the iconic Chanel brand. Dedicated to haute couture, perfume, cosmetics and ready-to-wear fashion design, Chanel has dressed many equally epic spokesmodels. It was Marilyn Monroe herself who made Chanel’s fragrance, Chanel No. 5, a household name.
This is a brand that was built on the basics, bringing together charm, class and creative spirit. Started in Paris – which at the time yet to be one the greatest fashion empires of the world – Coco Chanel began by selling elaborate hats to the mistresses of the Parisian hunting elite. To spite the popular resort fashions of the day, Coco created a line of women’s sportswear to both voice her contempt for the current styles and make a name for herself. As the years went on, she continued this trendsetting tendency, establishing a solid reputation and expanding her empire, item by item.
Today Coco Chanel can be found in Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, Macy*s and other high-end retailers across the globe. As Coco Chanel once said: “There is only one Chanel”.
