Ahead of the upcoming Chanel exhibition at the V&A, revisit five style signatures that Coco Chanel invented.
’s Edward Enninful once said of the Chanel tweed jacket, “It’s the ultimate sign of luxury – it has never gone out of fashion, and it never will.” In the ’20s, Chanel was inspired by the men’s tweed fishing and hunting jackets she saw her lover, the Duke of Westminster, wear in the Highlands. However, it wasn’t until 1954 that the tweed jacket was officially launched.
Instead of a classic coarse tweed, Chanel reworked the traditional Scottish fabric, creating a soft bucked tweed , which enabled more movement.Gabrielle Chanel was first seen wearing two-tone pumps in the ’20s, but it wasn’t until 1957 that the first monochrome slingback by Chanel officially launched.
