Coco Chanel and Designs

The iconic brand ‘Chanel' boasts of jackets having several distinguishing designs. They are made a little bit differently from the traditionally tailored jackets. For instance, Coco Chanel's original pieces contain lining of silk quilted directly to the fabric. This is in stark contrast to the usual inner structure of a pad stitching. Additionally, Coco Chanel jackets also feature machine sewn as well as hand-stitched fabric. This provides these clothes with more durability. Chanel's distinctive three-piece sleeve is also made similarly before being sewn by hand to the jacket's body. It was in 1925 that Coco Chanel introduced her long-anticipated unique cardigan jacket. The long lines of heavy trims, metallic button, and the curbed chains sewn to these clothes give a functional purpose as well to these clothes. All of these factors combine together to form a finished product which is a highly comfortable garment. Coco Chanel's inventive fashions, including her signature jacket, have not undergone many changes since their original introduction. This simply proves that Coco Chanel's integrative styles were the product of a brilliant mind of a woman who had her imaginations beyond her time. A man named Pierre Wertheimer was Coco's partner in Coco Chanel's perfume business. In 1924, the new fragrance quickly became a hit. It still remains one of the most popular products of the Coco Chanel Empire. Wertheimer could have been yet another one in the line of lovers Coco had in her lifetime. Still, Pierre Wertheimer remained a close confidante of Coco. His family continues to control a major part of the shares of Chanel's perfume company today. Simplicity was the keynote of the true elegance which was displayed by the product. In 1923, Coco Chanel applied this statement to each and every product of her company. The clothing lines she designed were always considered simple, comfortable, and satisfying. One of Coco's greatest talents included her ability to upgrade fabrics that were considered 'poor' such as the one called ‘jersey'. Coco Chanel was also very much influential in helping design the iconic flapper of the 1920's. Two years later, a woman called as Vera Bate Lombardi became Chanel's official public relations liaison. She had good connections with several of the European royal families. Lombardi was reported to have been instrumental in building the House of Chanel Empire. It was interestingly true that it was Lombardi's personality on which Coco's English Look was based. Lombardi introduced the iconic Coco to her aristocratic family members. This included her uncle, the Duke of Westminster and one of her cousins, the Duke of Windsor. Her strong relations with many other royal family members only added to Chanel's creative rule of the world of fashion. The year 1926 brought in its wake what is now considered to be the staple piece found in every woman's closet, the unique little black dress. Commonly referred to as "LBD", this little black dress was a runaway success at Chanel. The dress was an immediate hit and it was made available everywhere in Europe.
