"Coco Chanel ha creato la nuova uniforme della donna moderna."
- Vogue, 1926 -
Sull'infanzia di Gabrielle Bonheur si sa davvero molto poco di certo, soprattutto for the different versions that she was used to give its first years of life: born August 19, 1883 from a family of street vendors penniless, orphaned at 12, brought up strictly by the nuns (where he learned to sew) in a convent, the young Gabrielle seemed destined for a small-town life.
come of age he began working in a lingerie store and knitting activities accompanied by the singing at a coffee (and it seems that here began to call her Coco because of the title of a piece in which she used to perform), where met his first lover, Etienne de Balsan, who loves horses and racing, who had transferred to his castle in the country. Coco then passed his days in the stables and probably it was this kind of life "horse" that will inspire some of his later creations.
Gabrielle began to develop a certain anxiety towards life and guests of the castle and began to create hats, Balsan despite not understanding his creative desire and his desire to work, allowed Chanel to move to one of his apartments in Paris. The knowledge network of Etienne and Gabrielle allowed to form their own customers, then opening a shop of hair (which shocked, as were simple straw hats decorated with simple flowers in satin or individual feathers) to Deuville, with funding of his great love Chapel, known thanks to Balsan, who was never able to marry and who died in a road accident in the Twenties, marking indelibly Chanel. After a year of opening
Coco began selling in his store some of the other item of clothing and the outbreak of World War I "Chanel Modes" took off, thanks to its strategic location, in a vacation spot frequented by people wealthy and in view of French society.
In the '20s, Chanel launched the fashion for short hair, was inevitable: having accidentally burned the hair on a stove, cut the rest. After a short tempo le giovani donne alla moda imitarono il suo taglio, dando il via alla cosiddetta pettinatura "alla garconne".

Il 1926 fu l'anno di debutto del piccolo nero, petit robe noir, un corto abito nero con polsini e colletto bianco, semplice ma sempre di gran eleganza, che venne subito elogiato da tutti; negli anni '30 Chanel era all'apice del successo, aprì infatti un atelier in Rue de Cambon 31 a Parigi e propose i suoi celeberrimi tailleur , diventati simbolo di sobrietà ed eleganza.
In questo periodo Coco lanciò anche quello che, negli anni successivi, sarebbe diventato praticamente un'icona: il profumo N°5, che secondo the directions of the designer had to embody a concept of femininity timeless, unique and fascinating. The No. 5 was not only for the innovative structure of synthetic fragrance, but for the novelty of the name (the essence of choice was the fact that the fifth was proposed) and the essentiality of the bottle, became famous for its clean the cap and cut like an emerald.
In the thirties, he devoted himself to the creation of Chanel jewelry, but until that time the stylist had proposed, in addition to its leaders, pieces of jewelry, such as jewelry, crystal stones, faux, pearl necklaces false and chains of gold, jewelry that could afford many of the ladies belonging to its customers and become part of the unique style of Coco.
