Coco Chanel

The third designer i want to talk about is Coco Chanel.Coco Chanel is very differnt from the other two brands iv talked about.Many people may just say this is because of the time difference but looking into her history she and her brand seem very different from the start.
She was born in 1883 in a French charity hospital .at her birth registration her name was mixed up with Chasnel and was written as Chanel.At twelve years old her mother died and her father sent her and her sisters to a convent.Having leart alot of sewing at the convent she went and worked as a semstress.She met Etienne Balsen who was very wealthy and later funded for her own shop and its safe to say the brand has grown since.
Since Chanel's death the Wertheimer family have taken over the brand Chanel.The headquarters is found in Paris another main fashion city of the world.
The original Chanel brand was famous for suits,blouses,trousers and dresses.The Chanel house is preticulary famous for 'the little black dress',the perfumeNo.5 de Chanel and the suit.
I would like to credit the Chanel website and wikipedia
