My project, entitled From Corsets to Coco, delves into the life and legacy of Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, a trailblazer in the fashion industry during a time when it was dominated by men. Her designs were synonymous with simplicity and elegance, characterized by geometric lines and clean shapes, which were both functional and comfortable for everyday wear. Chanel's impact extends far beyond the realm of fashion, as her designs helped liberate the female form and empower women. Despite not explicitly identifying as a feminist, her contributions to the feminist movement through her designs are undeniable. In crafting this project, I was inspired to create silhouettes that are liberating and free-flowing, with a particular focus on the waistline as a symbol of femininity and strength. The release from the constrictive corsets of her time serves as a powerful metaphor for the liberation of women.
