Some people may wonder why give so much importance to a person that the character was in fact only some clothes and this, without going into all that Coco Chanel has been or is not I will say was: she was responsible for the introduction of pants in women's wardrobe, she was responsible for the use of jersey (poor material hitherto used only for work clothes of the workers), she was responsible for the suit . His genius produced the little black dress Saving women from many situations, called "petite robe noire" little black dress or English. Thank you series of value, such as those worthless beads and chains are worn together. All these innovations are born from women's apparel during the First World War ... ... if this is genius!
