One of the greatest things to ever happen to the fashion world.

Huge suporter of woman's rights, and spent her early years designing clothes to free women of the stiff and uncomfortable clothes worn at the end of the 19th century.

Died at the age of 87.

Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel (August 19, 1883 – January 10, 1971)was a pioneering French fashion designer whose modernist philosophy, menswear-inspired fashions, and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her arguably the most important figure in the history of 20th-century fashion. Her history of providing comfort to the Nazis, probably providing access to her mouth and anus, just so she could continue to make money is largely forgotten by today's bubblegum heads. Or is deemed somehow forgivable while French Resistance died trying to remove their invaders.
"Would you ever buy products from someone who provided comfort to the Nazis just for profit?"
"Who did that?"

Her influence on haute couture was such that she was the only person in the field to be named on TIME Magazine's 100 most influential people of the 20th century.
A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.
