Chanel’s designs were realization of women’s liberation. She was a designer for the aristocracy, but her designs slowly permeated to the streets and became a choice for thousands of women. Her designs were generally criticized by the fashion critics of her time as being too simple, too casual, too soft and not sensational enough. But she refused to heed their remarks. Chanel was an innovator and not a follower. She shed gaudy colors, frills, layered dresses and traditional hair styles. Her designs were modern and fresh. They were fit for the outdoors, so that women may feel comfortable while they look fabulous. Chanel designed everything that should and could have been known as fashion – from hats to clothes, from handbags to sunglasses, from perfumes to accessories – Chanel truly redefined fashion in the way she wanted.

“In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.”
