Born as Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel in Saumur, Southern France in 1883, the origins of the name "Coco" was rather vague.
She started her designer career by designing hats. From her first shop in 1910 at 21 rue Cambon, she rose to become a famous and pioneering French fashion designer.
She's well-known for inspiring practical wear for women and she was a great influence on haute couture. Coco also popularized the "little black dress". Coco was probably most remembered for her Chanel No. 5 perfume which was and still is a popular perfume for women today.
Her style was about simplicity and comfort and she told Harper's Bazaar in 1923 that "simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance."
