\nHistory of The Little Black Jacket<\/strong>
\nThe history of the jacket began in 1916 when it was designed, produced and even worn by its founder\u00a0Gabrielle \u2018Coco\u2019 Chanel<\/strong><\/a>. Gabrielle \u2018Coco\u2019 Chanel was born in the nineteenth century and was an important figure of the twentieth century.

\nDefying the trends of her time, Chanel was the first one to design luxury womenswear without the tight cinched waists. She defied prevailing trends and created garments with shorter hemlines where women could wear haute couture and still go about their work with ease. She wore menswear inspired shirts and trousers herself and created items which were simple and timeless.
\n\u201cI always make the first design for me\u201d<\/em> said the petite Coco who believed that women could be elegant while wearing clothes that didn\u2019t trap the body into an unnatural form.
\nA savvy business woman and creator, Coco Chanel is still remembered for the iconic products like the Chanel No.5<\/a> perfume, tweed suit, pearl costume jewellery, quilted handbag, to name a few.The black jacket, also part of the tweed suit, was at the time of its creation a revelation in womenswear.

\nCoco Chanel\u2019s original black tweed jacket had some very defined details: overcast and topstitched seams for an even surface, a gilt chain weighing down the inside hem of the jacket so as to take the shape of the body of the wearer instead of the other way around. The stitching and quality of the fabric made this a unique buy.

\nWhen designer\u00a0Karl Lagerfeld<\/strong>\u00a0joined Chanel as the Artistic Director in 1983, he stepped into the shoes of Coco Chanel with ease by following a similar working style of creating for tomorrow while deriving from the past. His style paid tribute to the founder but never copied or imitated Coco Chanel\u2019s designs. Karl\u2019s first collection for Chanel was for the same muse Gabrielle Chanel designed for, and even included the black tweed jacket with chain details.

\n\u201cThe Chanel jacket is a man\u2019s jacket which has become a typically feminine piece. It has crossed that boundary. I love that. It has become the symbol of a certain feminine elegance, nonchalant and timeless, which means for all time, \u201c<\/i> says Karl Lagerfeld in the behind the scenes film shot during the photo shoot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
