Coco Chanel opened a hat shop at 21 rue Cambon in Paris in 1909.
At a time when women wore tight corsets and voluminous clothing, she introduced simple and comfortable garments, revolutionizing the fashion industry.
From creating the “little black dress,” which used black (traditionally associated with mourning) as a fashion statement, to the tweed “suit”
her work expanded the boundaries of women's fashion and continues to be celebrated today.
