Coco Chanel and Fashion

Merchandise
(An Imaginary Showcase of Coco Chanel's Work)

You are now visiting an imaginary House of Chanel virtual "store" where you can view a few samples from the vast array of products offered by the Chanel line. Scroll down the "cases" to view the items, and see for yourself why the Chanel name remains one of the most prominent names in the world of fashion today. . . .

One of Coco Chanel's main trademarks is her scent Chanel No. 5 [image]. Introduced in 1921, the classic fragrance instantly attracted tremendous attention and remains one of the most revered perfumes today.





The enormously famous "Chanel Suit" gained immense popularity following Coco's return to fashion design in 1954




Beginning a radical trend with her use of black clothing, Coco also designed the "little black dress." This was a concept way ahead of the times, and hers was the first black dress not designed for a funeral.
