Brand/Designer Info:
Chanel is one of today’s best known and most highly sought-after fashion brands, and has been one practically since it was founded by Coco (Gabrielle) Chanel in 1909. Coco can be credited with some of the most influential designs in fashion history, but modern front man Karl Lagerfeld who was appointed in 1983 has definitely made the fashion house a global phenomenon. Karl Lagerfeld (born 1938) took over the haute cotoure design in 1983 and ready-to-wear in 1984.
Lagerfeld, like Chanel at the time of her comeback, looked to past designs for the secret to his success. His designs incorporated signature Chanel details, tweed fabrics, colours, gold chains, quilt-stitched leather, and the linked “CC” logo. In later collections, Lagerfeld became more irreverent, deconstructing some of the ladylike polish of Chanel’s 1960s looks. Karl Lagerfeld extended this irreverence to bags, designing styles that maintained true to the Chanel heritage of quality elevation, and chic, while introducing a more light hearted aesthetic. This included using untraditional materials such as vinyl, rubber, and various textiles such as denim.
