Chanel is a prestigious French luxury fashion house founded in 1910 by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel. It’s celebrated for revolutionizing women’s fashion by introducing more comfortable, casual designs that replaced the structured, corseted silhouettes of the time. Among Chanel’s timeless creations are the Chanel suit, the quilted purse, costume jewelry, and the iconic “little black dress.” The brand is also famous for its Chanel No. 5 perfume.
