Coco Chanel Born Gabrielle“Coco” Bonheur Chanel was an excellent French fashion designer, founder of the well known Chanel brand, whose modernist thought, practical design, and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her an important and influential figure in 20th-century fashion. She was the only fashion designer to be named on Time 100:
The Most Important People of the Century.
Chanel was known for her lifelong determination, ambition, and energy which she applied to her professional and social life. She achieved both success as a businesswoman and social prominence thanks to the connections she made through her work.
The Chanel No.5 scent is the best selling in the world.

The seamlessness between clothing and feminism might indeed be what made Chanel designs so desirable and so timeless. But the potently quotable, ever-confident Chanel remarked on her legacy the best:
“I created the most well-known style in the world,” she said,
“because fashion is ephemeral, but style is eternal.”
COCO CHANEL is the subject of the new exhibition that opened at the London College of Fashion (LCF) in August 13. The display features portraits of the designer taken by her friend, Californian artist Marion Pike.
