Coco Chanel
''Luxury must be comfortable otherwise it is not luxury''
Early Life
Getting Involved
Choices and Results
She chose to change fashion into a more casual and chic style. She opened her first shop on in 1910 selling hats. She extended her influence beyond couture clothing and created a signature scent, Chanel No. 5. Chanel chose the name of the perfume by selecting the 5th sample of produced scents. Her perfume was a massive source of revenue.
During World War II, Chanel decided to close down most of her business. She didn't feel that it was right to focus on fashion during the war. By doing this, Chanel lost 90% of her business at the time. She did make a comeback in later years.
