Coco Chanel (1883-1971) led a revolution in womenswear that rejected the oppressive constraints of male-dominated couture in favor of fluid silhouettes and understated elegance. She believed that a shift toward simplicity would facilitate the evolving role of women. She reshaped the landscape of fashion by creating a lexicon of must-have items that still resonates today. This workshop with Marie Agnès Sourieau will look at Chanel’s philosophy of fashion through the remarkable episodes of her life from her humble beginnings, early fame and fortune, friendships in the elitist Parisian society and artistic circles to the notable men in her life. OLLI membership ($25) required.
