About Coco Chanel
Chanel’s designs after World War I introduced a sporty, casual chic that became a standard for women’s style. She expanded the brand into jewellery, handbags, and fragrance, and her interlocked‑CC monogram has been used since the 1920s. She is the only fashion designer on Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century.
