Coco Chanel was born on August19,1883 in France. Her trade mark is black dress. Her designs are still very much alive today also. She herself is a fashion and style icon. She stood apart by her style, sophisticated outfits, great accessories and strands of pearls. She believed in ‘Luxury must be comfortable otherwise it is not luxury.’
Coco Chanel has been a person of glamour right from the beginning. Chanel was in the orphanage because of her mother’s death. Father was a peddler. Nuns took care of her and taught her how to sew. May be this skill became her profession afterwards. Her nickname came from another occupation entirely. During her brief career as a singer, Chanel performed in clubs in Vichy and Moulins where she was called “Coco.” Some say that the name comes from one of the songs she used to sing, and Chanel herself said that it was a “shortened version of cocotte, the French word for ‘kept woman,” according to an article in The Atlantic.
Coco sold hats on opening her first shop in Paris. Then she began making clothes. Her first taste of clothing success came from a dress she fashioned out of an old jersey on a chilly day.
In 1920,she launched her first perfume Chanel No.5.Till the date it has been unforgettable and ultimate accessory in fashion industry.
