A-Z: Coco channel

^{Gabrielle Chanel was a French fashion designer who founded the world famous Chanel brand. Chanel has been credited for releasing women from the fashion usual’s of the time, such as corsets, and giving fashion a more casual and sporty style. Chanel’s style and visions were so popular that they have been made into various ranges of handbags, accessory and fragrances, which the Chanel No. 5 fragrance becoming the most iconic. She has become that iconic that she is the only fashion designer to be listed on Time magazine's top 100 influential people of the 20th century.} 

^{I admire Chanel because of how she managed to over write the traditional style of corsets and women only wearing what was acceptable, and give women a new sense of freedom to express themselves in their fashion, which at the time was maybe the only was women were able to express themselves due to what was socially acceptable.}
