I know everyone loves her. There are fashion gospels that follow her style doctrines. There are books that villainize her. But to me, Gabrielle is the woman who came from nothing, not much of an education by today`s standards and created an empire with nothing but her style. Knowledge doesn`t always mean intelligence or talent. She has proved that quite well.

    Indeed she has! Not only did Mlle Coco pioneer the modern look for women ~ trousers, popularized the LBD, nautical inpsired clothing, popularized faux jewels, jersey clothing… she truly created everlasting style. “Fashion fades, only style remains the same.” ~ Coco Chanel
