  • The fashion of Coco Chanel is one of the most iconic of the fashion world. In this video we will learn how Coco Chanel became the household name it its today, where her inspiration comes from and how she built a brand that lasted more than 100 years.
    Coco Chanel, the woman, has a fascinating story of rags to riches. The way she changed adversity into advantage is unbelievable. Chanel created a brand but also a personal brand, based on her attitude and looks.
    Coco Chanel is a great example of the modern woman of the 20th century, and perhaps for that reason, so many women today can still resonate to the brand.

    Since I discovered her, I loved her. I identify with her and her hard life as it has been mine. Her conquest for independence. Her free spirit. Her perseverance. Her designing lines. Her classy feminine/ masculine creations. Thanks for this great documentary and for your channel🌷

    Having read 4 books about her, I still learned more. She was a genius and the modern woman owes her thanks. She was also a cruel person who's politics are antithetical to higher ideals. Truly a thumbnail of paradox. Her art was and is sublime.

    Chanel is my favorite designer of her day. Ralph Lauren is my favorite modern day designer though his family run his business. Chanel was so ahead of her time & she thought outside the box. She was after comfort & style, which I love. I don't honestly care for her styles when she came back to Paris.

    She was very beautiful and I suppose she had to do what she had to do to keep her business. I love her rags to riches story and how she made hats and then went on to be one of the most successful fashion designers in history, she done it her way and her success was well deserved. Great video.

      Oh I wouldn't quite say that . How about Eleanor Roosevelt m Queen Elizabeth, both 1 and 2 , , Queen2 Victoria, many other women were influential. Chanel was soinfluentjial in fashion, but I think she'd hate all the skin tight pants women wear today, and the demise of underwear, hats, gloves , dresses , and refined sexuality. Just my opinion.

    Being a fiercely independent woman bought wealth to remain so until Coco Chanel's death in 1971...and the legacy carried thru with Karl Largerfeld until his death no so long ago..thankyou for this over view such a reminder to us all that hard work and a strong passion pays off.

      @@mariapasos7482 It actually does. Chanel opened the Deauville shop in 1913 and this is where she first made casual clothes. (She was forbidden by law to make clothing in her Paris shop because there was already a dressmaker in the building.) In 1915 she opened her third shop in Biarritz in southwestern France. It is here that she began to make haute couture clothing. So it is significant because it shows the timeline of Chanel going from being a milliner to being an haute couture designer.

    She may have become independent but the men in her life helped her a lot, financially and with contacts. And she was lucky to have acquired her sewing skills and hat-making knowledge from childhood. She was extremely chic but like the Duchess of WIndsor, no great beauty, and this is a great lesson in life, to make the most of what you've got. Being slim does help to look chick and good in clothes, I've noticed all the chic French ladies tend to be not just slim but very slim.

    Nice overview of one of the most influential designer's of Woman's💃👠👡👗 Fashion in modern History.
    Honestly, Coco Chanel's influence on Fashion cannot be fully covered in under 20 min, but this is a decent start.
    One major factor I'd like to mention and expand on slightly, is the (Nun's habit:black&white ensemble and Rosary beads📿) influence on Chanel's early and later designs. Coco Chanel revamped the Nuns look with chic close fitting tweed and sophisticated design.
    A similar early influence on later designs can be attributed to Architecture,🏛another visual and creative art genre.
    Frank Lloyd Wright for example, was heavily influenced by the first firm he was employed at, under the guidance of his mentor Louis Sullivan. Sullivan had a big influence on Frank Lloyd Wright's later signature "Prairie Style" Architecture design.
    No man or woman is an island unto themselves. Each generation is influenced and inspired by what came before them. There's nothing new under the sun!🌞 Some people are just more adept at paying attention and are more perceptive to taking information and knowledge and assimilating them to our own times.🕙 These people are the trend setters and trail blazers!🏞🏔🌌🕊
    Just food for thought! 🍽🥛
    Peace!✌👋

    She was not the most beautiful woman, not a natural beauty, but the hats and clothes she designed, along with her costume jewelry and perfume made her elegant and glamorous, with great sex appeal. Her clothes worked with a woman's body. I also love the color black. It's a great color to accessorize with. Also, her make up and hair coloring, deep brunette or black (natural when she was young and dyed when she was older) was very flattering. She will always reign Queen of the fashion world, even though she's dressing the angels now.
