Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel. Chanel S. A. is a high fashion house that specializes in haute couture and ready- to- wear clothes, luxury goods and fashion accessories.[3] In her youth, Gabrielle Chanel gained the nickname Coco from her time as a chanteuse. As a fashion designer, Coco Chanel catered to women’s taste for elegance in dress, with blouses and suits, trousers and dresses, and jewellry (gemstone and bijouterie) of simple design, that replaced the opulent, over- designed, and constrictive clothes and accessories of 1.

An example of such haute couture techniques is the woolen Chanel suit — a knee- length skirt and a cardigan- style jacket, trimmed and decorated with black embroidery and gold- coloured buttons.
