Coco Chanel thesis 12/18/08

Coco Chanel one of the worlds most famous female designers.She had such impact on not only women but men in the fashion world. She designed comfortable clothing for women, such as women trousers, suits,short skirts and dresses etc. She had replaced the corset with comfort and casual elegance, calling it the"little boy look".At first many women didn't buy her clothing because the men had to say about them. She had dressed Samuel Goldwin's stars such as Katherine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, etc. Women and men came to the likings of her work around the 1920's. I wonder how women would be dressing today if she didn't lead the path to women are following today.Would women still be wearing corsets if it wasn't for her liberal mind and such a great understanding of women and their comfortably. She opened the door for other women designers to design as they please. I personally admire not just for her stlye and fashion but because she created a whole new way for women.
