Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel (19 August 1883 – 10 January 1971) was a pioneering French fashion designer whose modernist philosophy, menswear-inspired fashions, and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her an important figure in 20th-century fashion.
She was the founder of the famous fashion brand Chanel. Her extraordinary influence on fashion was such that she was the only person in the field to be named on Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century.
Without a shadow of a doubt the single most influential female fashion designer of the 20th century, Coco remains to this day adored. She basically revolutionized the fashion industry, liberating women from the frills and tight corsets of the Edwardian era.
What Miss Chanel did was reshape our concept of 'elegance'. And in doing all these things, she basically achieved something precious for the women: freedom, although she was not exactly a feminist.
