Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel is a seminal figure in 20th-century fashion, credited with revolutionizing women's attire. She liberated women from corsets, popularized tanned skin, introduced the iconic little black dress, and brought trousers and costume jewelry into mainstream fashion. Her signature comfortable suit remains a timeless design. In the early 1920s, Chanel launched the first couture perfume, Chanel No. 5, housed in a distinctive square bottle inspired by Cubism.
