A real fashion icon once said that “fashion fades, only style remains the same.” During the 1920’s, Coco Chanel’s designs and ideas have revolutionized the way women understood fashion. It was no longer about opulence, over-designed clothes and constrictive accessories, but about comfort, elegance and simplicity. How could these principles be accepted when women were still anchored in the idea of the perfect hour-glass silhouette? It seems that Coco Chanel has found the way to make herself heard and understood.
She started by designing hats but soon after her debut in the fashion industry she has grown to become a woman whose taste and elegance will become an emblem for the entire fashion world. Besides clothes and perfumes, Coco Chanel loved jewelry and accessories. It would have been impossible to see her without an elegant necklace, a brooch or some bold earrings. She believed that the clothes should provide comfort, while the jewelries should be the statement of true elegance. In November 1932, Chanel founded ‘High Jewelry’ and she debuted with 'Bijoux de Diamantes' exhibit.
