71. COCO CHANEL 
Chanel is one of the most famous and loved brands in the world because of its stylish and timeless designs. 
The Chanel brand was created by a French fashion designer named Gabrielle “Coco” Bonheur Chanel. She is 
the only fashion designer on Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. 
Surprisingly, although Chanel made a brand that stands for elegance and luxury, she came from a poor 
background. When her mother died, her father put her in an orphanage, where she was raised by nuns. There, 
she learned to sew, a skill she would use throughout her life. And as she was discovering her talent as a 
clothing designer, she was also dreaming of starting her own business. 15 Her dreams came true when she 
opened a hat shop in Paris in 1910. Soon, she had three stores, and she started to sell clothes, too. Later, she 
also designed jewelry, handbags, and perfumes. She named her first perfume Chanel No. 5, and it was the first 
perfume to use a designer’s name. In 1925, she introduced a revolutionary suit. It took the idea of the 
collarless jacket from menswear in order to emphasize comfort. Called the Chanel suit, it set women free from 
corsets and other uncomfortable clothes. Another revolutionary design was the little black dress. Black used to 
be considered just a color of mourning. But Chanel showed people that black could look gorgeous. Coco 
Chanel was both a designer and an ambitious and energetic businesswoman. She didn’t just make beautiful 
clothes for women. She changed the concept of women’s clothes forever.
