Coco Chanel – The Modernist

No. 05 – THE MODERNIST
The Woman Who Invented the 20th Century

She arrived from an orphanage with nothing but a needle, a scandalous past, and an unshakable conviction that women deserved to breathe. Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel did not follow fashion; she detonated it. In 1926 she introduced the little black dress—so radical, so democratic, so perfectly modern that Vogue compared it to the Ford automobile. She borrowed from men's wardrobes, from fishermen's sweaters, from jersey fabric that the elite had previously considered fit only for undergarments. Her Rue Cambon salon became the center of a new universe where comfort was luxury and simplicity was the ultimate sophistication. This Art Deco homage captures her at the absolute zenith of her power: surrounded by geometric sunburst motifs, lacquered black and gold, the constellation of camellia flowers, and the interlocking C's that would become the most recognized logo in fashion history. The year reads 1926—when a woman proved that the future wore trousers.
