Chanel glasses and Chanel sunglasses are at the very top of high fashion and the most premium range. Chanel is a Parisian fashion house in France founded by Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel. Chanel is owned by Luxottica. The perfume, accessory, and skin line divisions have been made public in recent years. The Chanel logo includes an overlapping double 'C' - one facing forward and the other facing backward. This comes from the name Coco Chanel. "Coco" is the nickname frequently used by Chanel founder, Gabrielle Chanel.
Chanel was founded in 1910, the small shop selling ladies headwear had moved to the up market Rue Cambon within a year. The Chanel house became very famous with the elegant little black dress and its signature Chanel No. 5 fragrance - so called because she was given a set of five samples by the perfumer Ernest Beaux. Chanel said that a fragrance should be "All about scent and nothing about the bottle". In fashion, Chanel revolutionized haute couture fashion by replacing the traditional corset with the comfort and casual elegance of simple suits and dresses. She introduced to the world her signature cardigan jacket in 1925 and signature "little black dress" in 1926, introducing a more sultry and seductive definition to "sexy".
Chanel reached the peak of business and fame in 1935 when she employed over 4,000 employees. She retired in 1939 from fashion to come back into it when she was 71. In 1955, Chanel introduced the quilted bag with the shoulder strap, a bag that shook the fashion world. It became so popular the first year that she had to decline numerous requests due to the lack of time to painstakingly manufacture each one by her skilled artisans. Chanel glasses and Chanel sunglasses grew and expanded under the Luxottica group in the same vein as the Chanel brand. |
