Chanel: Designs for the Modern Woman September 2, 2011

Harold Koda, Curator-in-Charge of the Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, once stated: "In creating a wardrobe for herself, Chanel invented the idea of the modern woman...it is her work, which transcended class barriers and revolutionized the ideals of dress, that is the ultimate testament of her life." And thus the name of Chanel has long been recognized as one associated with elegance, refinement, and fashionable flair.
