There was another innovator who impacted the fashion industry. Her name was Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel. She started with a hat boutique in Paris in 1908. Chanel later created comfortable dresses that did not need corsets. Due to World War I, women in Paris needed clothes that would allow them to move with ease. Chanel’s “simple,” “comfortable,” and “useful” dresses gained popularity in Paris and had a strong influence on modern fashion.
Chanel was also the first to design shoulder bags for women by attaching leather straps to her bags so she could carry them on her shoulders. Chanel closed most of her shops and retired when World War II broke out. However, she returned to the fashion world in 1954, at age 70. Although her style has been criticized for being outdated in Europe, her jersey suits were a big hit in the United States. Her “Chanel Suit” is extremely popular with professional women.
Chanel had a great passion for producing what she needed and liked. That was the force that drove her work forward.
