Coco Chanel really lived a glorious life. Maybe that is the secret to her successful fashion brand. By creating some of the most iconic fashion pieces, she will always have a special place in the fashion industry. Her whole life had been an unbelievable adventure, full with ups and downs, but somehow she always managed to find her way back to the top.
Whenever someone mentions her name, there are many things that are coming to our mind. For some that is the little black dress, for others is the best-selling perfume of all times ‘Chanel No.5‘. Despite her rough childhood, Coco Chanel raised like phoenix and became one of the most influential designers of the past century.
Coco Chanel lost her mother while she was very young and she ended up in an orphanage. There she learned how to sew from the nuns, so despite her tough time, she stepped into the world of fashion without even knowing. After leaving the orphanage, Coco Chanel started living a glamorous life that sounds like an unbelievable story written in a drama romance book.
