Chanel S.A. is a French fashion house founded by the couturier
Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, well established in haute couture, specializing
in luxury goods (haute couture, ready-to-wear, handbags, perfumery, and
cosmetics among others)
She gained the name "Coco" while maintaining a career as a singer at a
café in France. Chanel has catered to tastes in items such as simple
suits, dresses, women's pants, and costume jewelry. Coco Chanel's vision
was to replace such opulent, 'sexy' pieces with items which conveyed casual elegance. Today, Chanel is most famous for the "little black dress".
