Influences & Inspirations
Coco Chanel was very much influenced by the normal 'menswear' who was one of the first to do this to such an extent. This was very appreciated because of the ease and how comfortable it was. She also made sure she adapted all the best parts of the men's wardrobe to create practical, wearable and feminine clothing. |
Coco Chanel's process is very similar to other designer except for the fact that she has her own twist.
Coco Chanel was always focused on how women in her time should act, look and dress. The colour of her designs ranged from beiges, black and white as these were her favourite colours. Coco’s passionate interests like gender equity inspired her to create many of her designs.
One of Chanel’s quotes was “I wanted to cover women with constellations! With stars! Stars of all sizes!” This got her into the idea of diamonds.
