Coco Chanel Signature Look

Coco Chanel dazzled the fashion world in the 1920s with her signature “little black dress”. It caused a stir, and went on to become a fashion staple for women everywhere. She revolutionized fashion by liberating women from confining corsets by introducing a freer, more casual elegance.The designer wanted to design for women who wanted to “laugh and eat, without necessarily having to faint”. In 1983 when Karl Lagerfeld took over as Chanel’s designer, he followed up by producing more accessories, which became the order of the day for the fashion house.
“A girl should be two things: Classy and Fabulous!”

Totally ahead of her time, Chanel set a trend and popularized large costume jewellery in the 1930s. (In the 1990s, Karl Lagerfeld brought them back, along with clean, tailored lines.)
She continued that trend by developing an array of trinkets inspired by the Art Deco movement of the 1930s.
