Coco

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”
― Coco Chanel

I believe many would agree with me that Coco Chanel is one of the most influential designers. For me, it is more than just her designs. It's the spirit that she has, the passion towards fashion and her determination and pursuit towards her love of passion.

Chanel had no formal fashion training and mastered her skills in sewing during her days in the orphanage. Despite her difficult younger years it did not stop her from pursuing her dreams. Her hard work, her eye for details and her superb sense of style got people to notice her work. Unlike many designers, she never drew sketches but worked directly on models for long hours.

This incredulous lady of style chased her passion and worked on even till the last of her years. What she left behind was a legacy of style and a fiery passion to inspire and ignite others.

“My life didn't please me, so I created my life.”
― Coco Chanel

Besides her passionate life, here are a few of favourites of Coco style (in no order...cause I love em all!!!)

Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony.” Coco Chanel
