A designer I admire.

The designer I admire most, for not only her strength and independance, but also her revolution for womens clothing. Coco Chanel, a woman that changed the look of her time, is not only innovative, but creative as well. From her start with the not-so-contemporary little black dress, to her perfume No. 9, she inspired me, among other designers, to become a fashion designer myself.

With her debut, the little black dress, many thought of her design as revealing and innapropriate. However in reality, she did what every designer tries to do, change the fashion industry to satisfy the fashion of tomorrow. Coco Chanel was indeed innovative and did not let anyone tell her otherwise. She indeed revolutionized women's fashion whether the men of that time liked it or not.

She was also strong and independant, something I am still trying so hard to be, so naturally, as a person also going into such a competitive industry, i look up to her. I don't really believe in myself that much as it is. I have not gotten the chance to. So when I see what she could do, I want to believe that I can too. Something i suppose most female designers want in their lives.
