Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel was a French fashion designer who revolutionized women's clothing in the early 20th century. Born in 1883, she is best known for popularizing a more casual chic style that replaced the more formal, restrictive fashions of the time. Chanel introduced iconic pieces like the little black dress and the Chanel No. 5 perfume. Her emphasis on comfort, elegance, and simplicity in fashion allowed women greater freedom of movement. Chanel's influence extended beyond clothing to include accessories and luxury goods, establishing her brand as a symbol of sophistication and style that endures to this day.
