Topic: What qualities in Coco Chanel do you think have helped to mark her out as an outstanding fashion designer for women's clothing and accessories in her times?
I am so glad that teacher that us saw the movie. Before watching the movie, in summer, I also watch a movie about Coco Chanel; the movie is ‘Coco before Chanel.’ After watching the movie ‘Coco before Chanel’ all I want is to know this brand more. How a homeless girl could became a famous designer and knows by us until now? Why Chanel can be the guide in every seasons of fashion world? What are special for this brand? Those question just what I wanted to know as our topic, so I want to know more about it.
Coco Chanel was born on August 19, 1883. At the age of twelve, her mother died and her father disappeared. So, she was forced into an orphanage with her sister. She learned dressmaking in the orphanage. At the age of 17, Coco found work in a dressmaker’s shop and began her life’s career. Coco Chanel said that “people make fun of what I wear, but this is my secret of success- it’s because I am different from others.” The forte of Chanel designs was finding inspiration in everyday life. Fluid lines and a unique logo show its special taste and different from others. The class black and white tones are all in elegance just like from old movies. Coco Chanel created the “little boy” collarless chemise with its open front, the bathing suit and women’s slacks. These are all still mainstream fashion today.
Good clothes need perfect designers. The premier designer, Karl Lagerfeld, he started to be the designer of Chanel since 1983. His personal trademarks include a fan, a long ponytail for his powdered-white hair, and sunglasses. Coco Chanel imparted the Chanel brand with a unique spirit, then there’s no doubt that Karl Lagerfeld has raised this spirit to top of the fashion world. His signature line, which is developed from sketches, features very structural and dramatic women's wear, mostly in black and white.
I found out some unique elements for Chanel. Those are ‘Double C’, ‘Diamond pattern’, ‘Camellia flower’.
As a unique logo, Coco Chanel; you can see double c put on every single item.
Coco Chanel drew inspiration from the diamond check pattern on the jackets that wore by the jockeys at the racetrack. She used this idea to achieve a special hard and soft quality.
Coco Chanel was fond of camellia, so she made the flower the classic logo for her brand. She was very well known for minimal accessories, but was often photographed wearing a white Camellia. It could be the most fashionable flower in the world.
When we talk about the brand of perfume, what will come to your mind? I think there’s no doubt the answer is Chanel. I am going to talk about the best sell perfume in the world, Chanel N°5. When the perfumer took lots of perfume to Coco Chanel and she chose the fifth one, the perfume were named perfume N°5. With so many coincidences, five became coco’s lucky number. She also likes to sit on the fifth stair to watch her fashion shows. When Coco was living in her suite at the Paris Ritz, she looked down over the Place Vendome. She discovered the beauty of the octagon, so she created the classic octagon-shaped bottle for Chanel number five; and it also rose to a legend lasting decades.
Some classic sentences had been talked to show the perfume is really awesome. Coco Chanel said that “A woman should wear fragrance wherever she expects to be kissed.” So she created fabulous perfume to make women more attractive. One famous star Marilyn Monroe once said that “I wear nothing, just a few of Chanel N°5！” This was said when she was shot for advertisement for Chanel. She use Chanel N°5 as her pajamas; we can see the importance of perfume and Chanel N°5 is the product that make yourself fresh and you will feel at ease.
With those unique concepts of design, I will love this brand for good. Although it costs a lot, I still love fervently with Chanel. Chanel make women not only be a good housewife but also be a female tycoon. Their simple and subtle designs will move you while the first glance. If you want to learn more, you could go to blockbuster and borrow the movie “Coco before Chanel” or wait for the new coming movie named “Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky.” You will love and know deeper about Chanel.
