Chanel
Coco Chanel began her career as a fashion designer in 1909. She was one of the most powerful figure in the women's liberation movement after World War I. Chanel died in 1971 at the age of 88, but under the talented designer Philipppe Guiborge, her business continued producing clothes which reflect the classic look of Chanel. The famous numbered Chanel fragrances also continue to be produced, including the legendary No.5, named by Chanel for her lucky number. In 1977, the management of Chanel departed from Chanel's preference for numbers and introduced Cristalle. In 1983, Karl Lagerfeld took over the House of Chanel.
