My Style Icon: Coco Chanel


Coco Chanel (1883-1971) one of the most colorful woman of the 20th century belongs to my list of Style Icons. Gabrielle Bonheuer Chanel aka Coco, is the epitome of elegant style. I like how she pulls everything together from a simple black dress to a tailored suit.

Her signature hairstyle, her hat, her beads and pearls, her scarf and the unhealthy cigarette is such a trademark of how the woman styled herself consistently. Coco's personal style is always and even today an inspiration in her collections.

Coco's style is definitely eternal. All styles come and go but Madame Chanel's fashion and attitude will never go out of style.
