I chose my topic on Coco Chanel because I enjoy reading
Vogue and watching runway shows. My mom gave me the idea to do something on a
designer who changed the style of fashion and I found Chanel. She not only gave
the world new styles but she gave the women of the world new opportunities. I
found this fascinating and decided to do my NHD project on her.
I conducted my research through books and going online. I mostly used online sources for quotes, pictures, and information, but the books helped to verify some of that info.
Having done NHD before, I decided to do a website again because I liked the technology. It was fun to learn how to create a website that other people could view and how to move things around to make them look the way that you want to. Because I did a website for NHD before, I thought it would be a bit easier to do it again rather than learning the new criteria for a different kind of project and I could do a better job because I am older now.
My project on Gabrielle Coco Chanel relates to the topic because Chanel was a leader in the fashion world along with the women who bought her clothes and she left a lasting legacy. As I said before, she gave women new opportunities with the clothes that she made. She made pants and suits that women could wear to work. This shows leadership through the following that she accumulated with her clothes and the legacy through the revolution to women’s rights she had. Also, many of Chanel’s ideas such as the little black dress or the chain strap for handbags have continued onto present day. Chanel has affected the world beyond fashion and I thought that she was a perfect example of leadership and legacy that didn’t have to do with someone in a war (although there were some conflicts with the war).
