問題詳情:
Chanel’s work is without question part of the liberation of women.She threw out a jacket design to women twice during two distinct periods apart:the 1920s and the 1950s.She focused on styles, materials and articles of clothing that were worn by men and also, made sports clothes part of the language of fashion.She couldn’t afford the fashionable clothes of the period — so she made her own, using, say, the sports jackets and ties that were typically male style, where she was climbing her first social ladders.
Throughout the 1920s, Chanel’s social and professional progress continued, and her success grew to the status of legend.Probably the single element that most ensured Chanel’s being remembered is not a piece of clothing but a form of liquid gold — Chanel N°5, which was launched in 1923.It was the first perfume to bear a designer’s name.By the early 1930s she had almost married one of the richest men in Europe, the Duke of Westminster; when she didn’t, her explanation was, “there have been several Duchesses of Westminster.There is only one Chanel.”
It’s not by accident that she became associated with the modern movement that included Picasso, Stravinsky and Cocteau.Like those artists, she was determined to break the convention and invent a way of expressing herself.Cocteau once said of her that “she has, by a kind of miracle, worked in fashion according to rules that would seem to have value only for painters, musicians and poets.”
In the late 1960s, Chanel began her fashion revolution (變革) against society by aiming at the head, with hats.Her boyish “flapper (輕佻女郎)” creations were in sharp contrast to the “Belle Epoque” hats that were in fashion at the time, about which she asked, “How can a brain function under those things?” Actually, her sharp mind is clear in everything she did.She was always commenting:“Fashion is not simply a matter of clothes.Fashion is in the air, born upon the wind.One senses it.It is in the sky and on the road.”
