This is a black and white picture, probably from the 50s, of the famous stylist Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, better known as Coco Chanel.
She is sitting on a bench, looking over her shoulder.
She is posing, and seems to be proud of what she has become.
She is wearing black with white jewels, several long pearl necklaces and big bracelets.
She behaves like a man as she is wearing a hat and she is smoking. This is typical of Chanel.
This self-made woman - from rural Auvergne! - revolutionized the fashion world by cutting her hair, and her skirt, short.
She's a fashion icon, and she knows it...

We find this article really interesting. Coco Chanel was a very good person who marked her century with her strong personality and her ability to forecast the next generation’s tastes. She was always against her society and was in advance on her time. She remained strong-minded despite stupid criticism. This picture is a good choice since it represents her double personality: a strong and sweet woman.
It’s a smart idea to remind us of this famous icon who deserves no to be forgotten.
