Chanel (, French pronunciation: [ʃanɛl]) is a French luxury way house that was founded by couturière Coco Chanel in 1910. It focuses on women'south set up-to-clothing apparel, luxury goods and accessories.^[4] The company is currently endemic by Alain Wertheimer and Gérard Wertheimer, grandsons of Pierre Wertheimer, who was an early business partner of Coco Chanel.

In her youth, Gabrielle Chanel gained the nickname "Coco" from her time as a chanteuse. Every bit a fashion designer, Coco Chanel catered to women's gustation for elegance in dress, with blouses, suits, trousers, dresses, and jewellery (gemstone and bijouterie) of simple design, that replaced the opulent, over-designed, and constrictive clothes and accessories of 19th-century fashion. The Chanel product brands accept been personified by male and female style models, entertainers, and actresses, including Margot Robbie, Lily-Rose Depp, Nicole Kidman, Keira Knightley, Kristen Stewart, G-Dragon, Pharrell Williams, Cara Delevingne, Nana Komatsu, Jennie Kim, and Marilyn Monroe.^{[five] [6]}

Chanel is well known for the perfume Chanel No. 5 and the Chanel Suit. Chanel's use of jersey material produced garments that were comfortable and affordable.^[7] Chanel revolutionized fashion – both high fashion (haute couture) and everyday fashion (prêt-à-porter) – by replacing structured-silhouettes, based upon the corset and the bodice, with garments that were functional and at the same fourth dimension flattering to the adult female'due south effigy.

In the 1920s, the uncomplicated-line designs of Chanel couture made popular the 'apartment-chested' fashions that were the contrary of the hourglass figure achieved past the fashions of the late 19th century – the Belle Époque of France (c. 1890–1914), and the British Edwardian era (c. 1901–1919). Chanel used colors traditionally associated with masculinity in Europe, such as grey and navy blue, to denote feminine disrespect of character.^{[8] [nine]} The wearing apparel of the House of Chanel featured quilted textile and leather trimmings; the quilted construction reinforces the material, the design, and the finish, producing a garment that maintains its form and function while being worn. An example of such haute couture techniques is the woolen Chanel suit – a knee-length skirt and a cardigan-way jacket, trimmed and decorated with black embroidery and gold-coloured buttons. The complementary accessories were 2-tone pump shoes and jewellery, unremarkably a necklace of pearls, and a leather handbag.^{[4] [eight] [10]}

History [edit]

The Coco Chanel [edit]

Establishment and recognition – 1909–1920s

Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel in 1920

The House of Chanel (Chanel South.A.) originated in 1909 when Gabrielle Chanel opened a millinery store at 160 Boulevard Malesherbes, the ground floor of the Parisian flat of the socialite and fabric businessman Étienne Balsan, of whom she was the mistress.^[4] Because the Balsan apartment as well was a salon for the French hunting and sporting élite, Chanel had the opportunity to see their demi-mondaine mistresses who, as such, were women of mode, upon whom the rich men displayed their wealth – as ornate clothes, jewelry, and hats.

Coco Chanel thus could sell to them the hats she designed and made; she thus earned a living independent of Balsan. In the form of those salons, Coco Chanel befriended Arthur "Boy" Capel, an English socialite and polo thespian friend of Étienne Balsan; per the upper grade social custom. Chanel likewise became mistress to Boy Capel. Despite that social circumstance, Boy Capel perceived the baron innate to Coco Chanel. And in 1910, Boy Capel financed her first independent millinery store, Chanel Modes, at 21 rue Cambon in Paris. Because that locale already housed a dress shop, the business-lease express Chanel to selling only millinery products, not couture. 2 years subsequently 1913, the Deauville and Biarritz couture shops of Coco Chanel offered for sale prêt-à-porter sports dress for women, the applied designs of which immune the wearer to play sports.^{[iv] [8]}

The First World War (1914–xviii) afflicted European fashion through scarcity of materials, and the mobilisation of women. By that fourth dimension, Chanel had opened a large dress shop at 31 Rue Cambon, well-nigh the Hôtel Ritz, in Paris. Among the clothes for sale were flannel blazers, direct-line skirts of linen, crewman blouses, long sweaters fabricated of bailiwick of jersey fabric, and skirt-and-jacket suits.

Coco Chanel used jersey cloth because of its physical properties as a garment, such as its drapery – how information technology falls upon and falls from the body of the adult female – and how well it adapted to a simple garment-blueprint. Sartorially, some of Chanel's designs derived from the armed forces uniforms made prevalent past the War; and, by 1915, the designs and the clothes produced by the House of Chanel were known throughout France.^[iv]

In 1915 and in 1917, Harper's Bazaar mag reported that the garments of La Maison Chanel were "on the listing of every buyer" for the habiliment factories of Europe.^[4] The Chanel dress shop at 31 rue Cambon presented day-habiliment dress-and-coat ensembles of simple pattern, and black evening dresses trimmed with lace; and tulle-fabric dresses busy with jet, a minor gemstone cloth.^[4]

Afterwards the First World War, La Maison Chanel, following the mode trends of the 1920s, produced beaded dresses, made particularly popular by the Flapper woman.^[four] Past 1920, Chanel had designed and presented a woman's suit of clothes – composed either of two garments or of three garments – which allowed a adult female to have a modern, feminine appearance, whilst being comfortable and applied to maintain; advocated as the "new uniform for afternoon and evening", information technology became known as the Chanel Conform.

In 1921, to complement the suit of clothes, Coco Chanel commissioned the perfumer Ernest Beaux to create a perfume for La Maison Chanel. His perfumes included the perfume No.five, named after the number of the sample Chanel liked best. Originally, a bottle of No. 5 de Chanel was a gift to clients of Chanel. The popularity of the perfume prompted La Maison Chanel to offering it for retail auction in 1922.

In 1923, to explain the success of her clothes, Coco Chanel told Harper's Bazaar mag that design "simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance."^{[4] [11]}

Business partners – late 1920s

The success of the No. v encouraged Coco Chanel to expand perfume sales beyond French republic and Europe and to develop other perfumes – for which she required investment uppercase, business concern acumen, and access to the Northward American market. To that cease, the businessman Théophile Bader (founder of Galeries Lafayette) introduced the venture backer Pierre Wertheimer to Coco Chanel. Their business deal established the Parfums Chanel company, a parfumerie of which Wertheimer endemic 70 per cent, Bader owned 20 per cent, and Chanel owned 10 per cent; commercial success of the joint enterprise was assured past the Chanel name, and past the cachet of la "Maison Chanel", which remained the sole business province of Coco Chanel.^[x]

Nonetheless, despite the success of the Chanel couture and parfumerie, the personal relations between Coco and her capitalist partner deteriorated, considering, Coco said that Pierre Wertheimer was exploiting her talents as a manner designer and as a businesswoman.^[ten] Wertheimer reminded Chanel that he had made her a very rich woman; and that his venture capital had funded Chanel's productive expansion of the parfumerie which created the wealth they enjoyed, all from the success of No. 5 de Chanel.

Nevertheless, unsatisfied, the businesswoman Gabrielle Chanel hired the attorney René de Chambrun to renegotiate the 10-per-cent partnership she entered, in 1924, with the Parfums Chanel visitor; the lawyer-to-lawyer negotiations failed, and the partnership-percentages remained as established in the original business bargain amid Wertheimer, Badel, and Chanel.^[10]

Elegance and the war – 1930s–1940s

From the gamine fashions of the 1920s, Coco Chanel progressed to womanly fashions in the 1930s: evening-apparel designs were characterised by an elongated feminine style, and summer dresses featured contrasts such equally silver eyelets, and shoulder straps busy with rhinestones – drawing from Renaissance-time manner stylings. In 1932, Chanel presented an exhibition of jewelry dedicated to the diamond as a fashion accessory; it featured the Comet and Fountain necklaces of diamonds, which were of such original design, that Chanel Southward.A. re-presented them in 1993. Moreover, by 1937, the Business firm of Chanel had expanded the range of its apparel to more women and presented prêt-à-porter clothes designed and cut for the petite adult female.^[4] Among fashion designers, just the clothes created past Elsa Schiaparelli could compete with the clothes of Chanel.^[4]

Chanel'south spymaster:
General Walter Schellenberg
Chief of the Sicherheitsdienst.

During the Second World War (1939–45), Coco Chanel closed store at Maison Chanel – leaving only jewellery and parfumerie for sale – and moved to the Hôtel Ritz Paris, where she lived with her boyfriend, Hans Günther von Dincklage, a Nazi intelligence officer.^{[4] [8] [10]} Upon conquering French republic in June 1940, the Nazis established a Parisian occupation-headquarters in the Hôtel Meurice, on the rue de la Rivoli, reverse the Louvre Museum, and just around the corner from the stylish Maison Chanel S.A., at 31 rue Cambon.^[4]

Meanwhile, because of the Nazi occupation's official anti-Semitism, Pierre Wertheimer and family, had fled France to the U.Due south., in mid-1940. Afterwards, in 1941, Coco Chanel attempted to assume business concern control of Parfums Chanel just was thwarted by an administrative delegation that disallowed her sole disposition of the parfumerie. Having foreseen the Nazi occupation policy of the seizure-and-expropriation to Germany of Jewish business and avails in France, Pierre Wertheimer, the majority partner, had before, in May 1940, designated Felix Amiot, a Christian French industrialist, as the "Aryan" proxy whose legal control of the Parfums Chanel business proved politically acceptable to the Nazis, who then allowed the perfume company to go along as an operating business.^{[10] [12]}

Occupied France abounded with rumours that Coco Chanel was a Nazi collaborator; her clandestine identity was hole-and-corner agent 7124 of the Abwehr, code-named "Westminster".^[13] Equally such, by order of General Walter Schellenberg, of the Sicherheitsdienst, Chanel was despatched to London on a mission to communicate to British Prime Minister Winston Churchill the particulars of a "separate peace" programme proposed by Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, who sought to avoid surrendering to the Red Army of the Soviet Russians.

At State of war's end, upon the Centrolineal liberation of French republic, Chanel was arrested for having collaborated with the Nazis. In September 1944, the Free French Purge Committee, the épuration, summoned Chanel for interrogation about her collaborationism, yet, without documentary show of or witnesses to her collaboration with the Nazis, and considering of Churchill's secret intervention in her behalf, the épuration released Coco Chanel from arrest as a traitor to France.^{[10] [xiv]} Despite having been freed by the political grace of Churchill, the strength of the rumours of Chanel's Nazi collaboration had fabricated information technology not possible for her to remain in France; so Coco Chanel and her German lover, Hans Günther von Dincklage, went into an eight-year exile to Switzerland.^{[iv] [ten]}

In the post–war menstruation, during Coco Chanel's Swiss exile from France, Pierre Wertheimer returned to Paris and regained formal authoritative command of his family unit's business holdings – including control of Parfums Chanel, the parfumerie established with his venture capital, and successful because of the Chanel name.^[10]

In Switzerland, the news revived Coco Chanel's resentment at having been exploited by her business partner, for only ten per cent of the coin. And so she established a rival Swiss parfumerie to create, produce, and sell her "Chanel perfumes". In turn, Wertheimer, the majority capital stock possessor of Parfums Chanel, saw his business concern interests threatened, and his commercial rights infringed because he did not possess legally exclusive rights to the Chanel name. Nonetheless, Wertheimer avoided a trademark infringement lawsuit against Coco Chanel, lest information technology damage the commercial reputation and the creative credibility of his Chanel-brand parfumerie.

Wisely, Pierre Wertheimer settled his business- and commercial-rights quarrel with Chanel, and, in May 1947, they renegotiated the 1924 contract that had established Parfums Chanel – she was paid $400,000 in cash (wartime profits from the sales of perfume No. 5 de Chanel); assigned a 2.0 per cent running royalty from the sales of No. 5 parfumerie; assigned limited commercial rights to sell her "Chanel perfumes" in Switzerland; and granted a perpetual monthly stipend that paid all of her expenses. In commutation, Gabrielle Chanel closed her Swiss parfumerie enterprise, and sold to Parfums Chanel the full rights to the proper name "Coco Chanel".^{[10] [15]}

Resurgence – 1950s–1970s

A archetype Chanel adjust, 1965

In 1953, upon returning to France from Switzerland, Coco Chanel found the fashion business enamoured of the "New Look" (1947), by Christian Dior; the signature shape featured a below-mid-calf-length, full-skirt, a narrow waist, and a big bust (stylistically absent since 1912). As a post–War way that used some 20 yards of fabric, the House of Dior couture renounced wartime rationing of fabric for apparel.^[ten]

In 1947 – subsequently the six-yr austerities of the Second World War (1939–45) – the New Expect was welcomed by the fashion business of Western Europe because sales of the pretty clothes would revive concern and the economy.^[iv]

To regain the concern primacy of the House of Chanel, in the style fields of haute couture, prêt-à-porter, costume jewelry, and parfumerie, would be expensive; so Chanel approached Pierre Wertheimer for concern advice and capital.^[10] Having decided to do business with Coco Chanel, Wertheimer'southward negotiations to fund the resurgence of the House of Chanel, granted him commercial rights to all Chanel-brand products.^[10]

In 1953, Chanel collaborated with jeweler Robert Goossens; he was to blueprint jewelry (bijouterie and gemstone) to complement the fashions of the House of Chanel; notably, long-strand necklaces of black pearls and of white pearls, which high contrast softened the severe design of the knitted-wool Chanel Adapt (brim and cardigan jacket).^[eight]

The House of Chanel also presented leather handbags with either gold-colour bondage or metal-and-leather bondage, which allowed carrying the purse from the shoulder or in mitt. The quilted-leather purse was presented to the public in February 1955. In-business firm, the numeric version of the launching date "2.55" for that line of handbags became the internal "appellation" for that model of the quilted-leather bag.^[four]

Throughout the 1950s, the sense of style of Chanel continued undeterred; the firm's initial venture into masculine parfumerie, Cascade Monsieur was a successful eau de toilette for men. Chanel and her spring collection received the Style Oscar at the 1957 Fashion Awards in Dallas. Pierre Wertheimer bought Bader's xx per cent share of the Parfums Chanel, which increased the Wertheimer percent to ninety per cent.^[10]

Later, in 1965, Pierre's son, Jacques Wertheimer, assumed his begetter's management of the parfumerie.^[ten] Almost the past business relationship, between Pierre Wertheimer and Coco Chanel, the Chanel chaser, Chambrun said that it had been "one based on a businessman'southward passion, despite her misplaced feelings of exploitation . . . [thus] when Pierre returned to Paris, full of pride and excitement [after one of his horses won the 1956 English language Derby]. He rushed to Coco, expecting congratulations and praise. Only she refused to osculation him. She resented him, you see, all her life."^[x]

Coco Chanel died on ten January 1971, at the age of 87.^[iv] She was even so designing at the time of her death.^[4] For instance, in the (1966–1969) period, she designed the air hostess uniforms for Olympic Airways, the designer who followed her was Pierre Cardin. In that time, Olympic Airways was a luxury airline, endemic past the send magnate Aristotle Onassis. Afterwards her death, the leadership of the company was handed downwards to Yvonne Dudel, Jean Cazaubon and Philippe Guibourgé.^[iv] Then far, the bags designed by Chanel are still very pop in the vintage market.^[16]

Subsequently a period of time, Jacques Wertheimer bought the controlling involvement of the House of Chanel.^{[4] [10]} Critics stated that during his leadership, he never paid much attention to the company, equally he was more interested in horse convenance.^[10] In 1974, the Business firm of Chanel launched Cristalle eau de toilette, which was designed when Coco Chanel was alive. 1978 saw the launch of the get-go non-couture, prêt-à-porter line and worldwide distribution of accessories.

Alain Wertheimer, son of Jacques Wertheimer, causeless control of Chanel S.A. in 1974.^{[4] [10]} In the U.South., No. v de Chanel was not selling well.^[10] Alain revamped Chanel No.5 sales by reducing the number of outlets carrying the fragrance from xviii,000 to 12,000. He removed the perfume from drugstore shelves and invested millions of dollars in advertisement for Chanel cosmetics. This ensured a greater sense of scarcity and exclusivity for No.v, and sales rocketed back up every bit demand for the fragrance increased.^[ten] He used famous people to endorse the perfume – from Marilyn Monroe to Audrey Tautou. Looking for a designer who could bring the label to new heights, he persuaded Karl Lagerfeld to end his contract with fashion firm Chloé.
