Waiting for the Movie:
Coco Chanel’s influence can found in each season’s “new” trends. Coco herself popularized many of the looks we covet each year.
From the little black dress to big bold cuffs…Chanel understood what it took to create a truly timeless piece.
And you know I love Chanel!
In the following example, the fitted green suit and bold cuffs are unmistakably Chanel. Everything else came from designers obviously influenced by her designs.
Examples of this season’s Chanel Influence (as seen below):
- Quilted accessories (handbag and pumps)
- Little black dress
- Ballet flats
- Tassels (necklace)
- Use of flowers on jewelry (necklace)
- And of course -bold cuffs and fitted suit as seen on model.
Where did Chanel hone her keen sense of timeless style? Perhaps this fall’s release of the movie “Coco Before Chanel” will help explain. It will delve into the more unknown portion of her life…before she became the great designer we know and love.
Are you a fan of Coco Chanel? Do you plan to see the movie? We love to hear from you.

I’m reading the book at the moment and LOVING it. It’s so different to other biographies I have read on her, which simple reiterated the myths that she spun herself.
She’s such an incredibly tough woman.
