History of CHANEL

Gabriel Coco Chanel
When she was 26 years old(1909) she opened her own shop in Paris, France. And after that time, she was walking the way of pretty good succeed. And in 1912, She became to make ‘her’ item, it was a perfume. She did not named her perfume like other brands of perfume. Chanel named perfume to be in order. One of the famous item in Chanel is No.5, So this perfume is made for 5^th.

When her shop became famous, she designed her own logo, it is

These two logos are showing to us that Chanel’s pride from her own brand, and her passion for fashion.

And another one of the famous item in Chanel is handbags.

It is designed at 1955, But even more than 50 years passed, people loves this bag. Design from this bag is elegance, and perfect design.

Chanel made first shoulder strap, in that time, women should handle their bags. But it has thing that uncomfortable. So when this bag came out. it is the reason why that Women loved this bag so much. Also I can say that this bag is not just bag, it is piece of art and tradition thing.

Also Chanel made to women happy, more comfortable with their wearing things. She made Chanel suit. Also this suit was not only suit. It was one of the style. This suit saved women who lived in that time from corset and petticoat.

After Chanel died, Karl Lagerfeld
became new designer from Chanel. Even though he is very old, he is inspiring to other designers(he born in 1938) in 1938, he born between Swedish father and German mother. His father was very rich. And from that background, he raised with wealth life.

And he had a lots of interests in fashion major, so he went art school.

When he was 16 years old, he got prize from design contest. And from that time he became sub designer and started to working on fashion major.

He likes books than show and party, and models. Every 5 am he woke up and he reads art magazines or other history books for fashion major, and he designed Chanel clothes. He can speak English, French, German, and Italian. I think his fountain of youth is mind that always thinking about fashion and his boy friend. He is gay. And his boy friend is top model from France named, Baptiste Giabiconi.

Today, I will introduce about CHANEL. I think in South Korea, CHANEL is most famous brand. So I saved CHANEL for last week of blog project.

I really interested my blog. When I search information of different kinds of brands, I enjoyed it. And I could know the difference between Haute Coutre, and pretaporter. Haute Coutre is clothes that are so unique like kinds of art, and is not clothes that we are usually wearing. And pretaporter is clothes that are we usually wearing.
