Chanel's Inspiration To The World And Many Decades To Come ......

As you can see Coco Chanel and her revolutionized label has evolved from her humble beginnings to how head designer Karl Lagerfeld has still maintained her values and main designs in the 21st century.Every great idea starts from an intelligent human being,as in for Coco Chanel. She had the love and passion for what she did, which showed in her art pieces and  great intuition. She was never afraid to be the "outsider" because it seems to me that she believed in going against the trends and the "status-quo" to make a change. That change was not only seen in the fashion industries but also  in our everyday society. She was an inspiration for many well known individuals in our society such as ; Jackie Kennedy to Marilyn Monroe, who wore her art pieces daily.

Chanel as we know is known as an exclusive higher end brand name in the world. This is all in result to their marketing and quality selection of art they put out for the world to embrace. The one thing that stands Chanel out of the ball park from the rest of the designers is their timeless designs. That was one thing that Chanel wanted to do, was to create new pieces of style that you could make your own by mixing and matching and that never went out of style(little black dress). This indifference was the mix of practical and elegance in one, which in my opinion we, in the 21st century ,are still trying to do.

In my opinion, her main message that she wanted to convey through her fashion passion was to" take care of your appearance". She loved looking amazingly elegant in her own clothes but that wasn't the point of why she made such prestige ensembles. It was so that when women or men wore her clothes they would be presenting themselves in a way that people from the outside would respect them as powerful people(1).This has been a reality since day one for the label Chanel, as they design for only the best of the best in the industry.

After reading that last paragraph, most of you are probably thinking that yes Chanel is only made for the richest of the richest people in our society today. But in reality I believe you guys are missing the whole point of this exclusive label. I believe successful people like Coco were made as mentors for us middle class society to look up to and to thrive for that same success. Becoming an intelligent and classy person like Coco does not just happen over night. She worked very hard for what she believed in: HERSELF.That characteristic in itself was just an inspiration for Karl Lagerfeld to continue her hard work after she had passed and should also be an inspiration for us to follow our dreams.

 The One and Only; Coco Chanel

In conclusion ladies and gents, Coco Chanel will always be remembered as not only the one behind the iconic little black dress but more as a strong willed women who never gave up. Her designs are still evolving and inspiring the world in the labels extravagant fashion shows and new collections each season. I am very excited to see Lagerfelds's new thoughts for their spring collection. It has been a pleasure to read all of your comments and thoughts on each one of my posts. Until next time, my fashionistas!!

"May my legend prosper and thrive. I wish it a long and happy life.”- Chanel
