About Coco Chanel
Fashion entrepreneur
Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel built a fashion business from a Paris millinery shop into an international house spanning couture, ready-to-wear, accessories and fragrance. Her practical silhouettes and Chanel No. 5 became lasting parts of the company's identity and of modern fashion history.
A lasting house
Chanel returned to fashion in 1954 and continued designing until the final years of her life. The company she founded remains a global luxury business; her birth certificate supports the target curator's existing 16:00 Saumur entry at Astro-Databank's AA rating.
