Coco Chanel
I am currently reading a biography of Coco Chanel – Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel – who, as I am sure you know, was a pioneering French fashion designer whose modernist philosophy, menswear-inspired fashions, and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her an important figure in 20th century fashion.
In 1922 Coco Chanel introduced a perfume, Chanel No. 5, which became and has remained exceptionally popular. I am fascinated by the many different depictions of the famous bottle – which is seemingly as popular as the perfume itself.

A little more than a decade after her death, designer Karl Lagerfeld took the reins at her company to continue the Chanel legacy.
