About Chanel, By NYMag:

Chanel is one of today’s best known and most highly sought-after fashion brands, and has been one practically since it was founded by Coco (Gabrielle) Chanel in 1909. Her big break hit when she opened a small shop in Paris in 1910 where she sold her hats. And by 1913, after asserting disdain for resort wear, she launched sportswear: Her take was simpler — flannel blazers, jersey sweaters, and women in trousers, all of which were decidedly against twentieth-century culture memes. Chanel was trendsetting before there were trends.

Coco Chanel Quotes:

“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.”

“Fashion fades, only style remains the same.”

“Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.”

“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.”

“Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.”

“Fashion is made to become unfashionable.”
