Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel (19 August 1883 – 10 January 1971) was a French fashion designer and founder of the Chanel brand. She is the only fashion designer listed on Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. Along with Paul Poiret, Chanel was credited with liberating women from the constraints of the "corsetedsilhouette" and popularizing the acceptance of a sportive, casual chic as the feminine standard in the post - World War Iera. A prolific fashion creator, Chanel's influence extended beyond couture clothing. Her design aesthetic was realized injewelry, handbags, and fragrance. Her signature scent, Chanel No. 5, has become an iconic product.
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. These included many artists and craftspeople to whom she became a patron. However, Chanel's life choices generated controversy, particularly her behaviour during the German occupation of France in World War II.

There are people who have money and people who are rich.
"I don’t do fashion. I am fashion.” - Coco Chanel.
'A woman can be overdressed, never over-elegant'
"i don’t care what you think about me.
i don’t think of you at all.”
—Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel
Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.
I am not young but I feel young. The day I feel old, I will go to bed and stay there. J'aime la vie! I feel that to live is a wonderful thing.
Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.
Women must tell men always that they are the strong ones. They are the big, the strong, the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion, I am not a professor.
A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.
Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.
Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.
