When was she around? She was born on 19 August 1883 and died on the 10 January 1971 at the age of 87. (At least most sources say so, but Coco wasn't keen on revealing her birth date.)
Where was she? She was born in Saumur, France. She lived in a number of places, but France in general.
What did she do that made a difference? Coco Chanel introduced a completely new "page" on the fashion history front during the 1920s. Up until the first world war, women's clothing had been rather restricted, involving full length skirts which were impractical for many activities and the corset - what else is there to say about that one! Coco Chanel helped create women's clothing that was more simpler and more practical when it came to everyday jobs and chores. She also introduced pants/trousers and suits for women; something that had never been done before. Coco introduced so many styles, and fashions, that are still big here in the 21st century.
Why did she feel inspired to lead change? Women's clothing was becoming rather restricted, with long skirts and the corset etc. Women were beginning to get the vote, and more and more were seen in professions and jobs, therefore a lot of the clothes that women were wearing at the time weren't appropriate and practical.
How did she go about leading change? Coco's first post war collection was actually not received well by critics, but immensely popular with the general public. She was obviously determined and dedicated to keep going. She was ambitious to introduce such change to fashion, but in the end it didn't matter. Coco Chanel changed the way we dress.

I think your Who/When/What/Where/Why/How was very good and factual.
ReplyDeleteI think Coco Chanel is a very important person because without her we would still have to wear full length skirts and corset
