FASHION REPORT: CHAPTER 8 "COCO BY KARL"

 

In 1954 Gabrielle Chanel re-opened her Couture House and presented her first
catwalk show on the rue Cambon in Paris. Once again she imposed her style
onto the entire world, devoting herself tirelessly to her work and inventing
the allure of CHANEL daily. The suit, the two-tone shoe and the quilted
handbag became her signature pieces. A legend in her own lifetime, she
passed away in her private apartment at the Ritz Hotel in 1971. Eternal
femininity would be embodied forever by the House of CHANEL.
