The Revolutionary Spirit that became Chanel
An Icon behind the Fashion House whose life perfectly depicts this year’s message “Be Bold for Change.”
Background: Gabrielle Chanel
Why Gabrielle this International Women’s Day?
She dared … to emancipate women from social restrictions at the time
freeing women from corsets & adopting men’s designs
She created… freedom from restrictive impractical clothing for men’s gazes, gone were the hourglasses, replaced with sleek elegant lines
Practicality became paramount
In a world… where she was disadvantaged by her sex & background, she was the rebellious woman who built a fashion house
