加布里埃·香奈兒(Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel)，1883年出生于法國的索米爾(Saumur)。法國時裝設計師，香奈爾品牌的創(chuàng)始人。[1-2]

加布里埃·香奈兒，6歲時母親離世，父親更丟下她和4個兄弟姐妹，由她的姨媽撫養(yǎng)成人。1914年，Coco開設了兩家時裝店，影響后世深遠的時裝品牌Chanel宣告正式誕生。1954年，Coco重返法國，以她一貫的簡潔自然的女裝風格，迅速再俘虜一眾巴黎仕女。1983年，香奈兒逝世后，香奈兒集團由Karl Lagerfeld接班出任時尚總監(jiān)，但至今每一季新品仍以香奈兒精神為設計理念。[1]

加布里埃·香奈兒，現(xiàn)代主義的見解，男裝化的風格，簡單設計之中見昂貴，成為20世紀時尚界重要人物之一。她倡導女權，品牌經(jīng)典的2.55手袋就起源于香奈兒決心用細鏈條來解放女性拿包的雙手。她對高級定制女裝的影響令她被時代雜志評為20世紀影響最大的100人之一。[2-4]

加布里埃·香奈兒的個人名言——“愿我的傳奇常留世人心中，永遠鮮明如新“。

Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel was born in France in 1883 and died in 1971. She was a pioneering fashion designer who revolutionized women’s fashion. She designed modern and simple clothes that were often based on menswear. She was so important that she was the only designer named in ‘Time’ magazine's list of the 100 most influential1 people of the 20th century.

Chanel had a very poor upbringing. Her mother worked in the poorhouse where Gabrielle was born. She died when Gabrielle was six and then her father abandoned her. She adopted the name Coco while she was a cafe singer in 1905. Two lovers funded her first store in Paris in 1910. They also helped her hats become popular with rich women.

In the 1920s, Chanel rose to become Paris’ top fashion designer. Her comfortable, yet elegant clothes were popular across Europe. Women found her mannish clothes to be liberating. In 1922 Chanel introduced her perfume, Chanel No. 5, which is still highly profitable. Her famous Chanel suit has also stood the test of time and is part of the modern woman’s wardrobe.

At the beginning of World War II she moved into the Ritz Hotel in Paris, which became her home for 30 years. During the Nazi occupation of Paris she had a lover, a German spy. This relationship made her unpopular for a decade after the war. Her 1954 collection did badly in France. Today, however, her name is the biggest in fashion.
