Chanel

"May my legend thrive and flourish. I wish her a long and happy life!"*

Gabrielle Chanel lived her life as only she wanted. The trials of a childhood as an orphan and the successes of a consummate businesswoman gave birth to an extraordinary character; daring, free, and ahead of her time. Loyal friendships and passionate love affairs, but also a thirst for culture, discovery and travel helped shape her personality. A wardrobe freed from constraints and superfluities, with masculine accents, created a visionary allure that is timeless and yet fiercely modern. Pearls and diamonds casually combined with iconic perfumes have created a signature style… That of an avant-garde woman, a pioneer whose lifestyle and multiple facets have created the values ​​of the House she founded, and who remains an inspiration to all women.
