Vintage Coco CHANEL

 CHANEL

Style Philosophy:  Respect for the individual should dominate design.  The clothes must be more important on the woman, than on the designer’s drawing boards.

Chanel’s clothing was movable, wearable, and alluring.

How to achieve a classic Chanel look?

Vintage Chanel suits

Chanel’s clothing was very nonchalance.  Wear the clothing, don’t let the clothing wear you. 

Start with a classic two-piece suit, preferably in tweed,  This suit should have two deep pleats in the skirt.  Preferably this suit should have brass buttons.  Add a white crepe blouse.  Top the look off with a felt sailor hat (Chanel loved hats) and bottom the look off with a pair of low-heeled pumps.
