CASE STUDY ON CHANEL
Chanel is a French luxury fashion house founded in 1910 by Coco Chanel in Paris. Chanel specializes in women's ready-to-wear, luxury goods, and accessories and licenses its name and branding to Luxottica for eyewear. Chanel is well known for its No. 5 perfume and "Chanel Suit". Chanel is credited for revolutionizing haute couture and ready-to-wear by replacing structured, corseted silhouettes with more functional garments that women still found flattering.
Origins and the market for women’s luxury fashion
The market for women’s fashion was rising in x. The power of a woman with nothing to lose. Power relations were more important, in who was wearing what to define a fashion. How Chanel varied according to the decades. She did not force people to want her clothes but made what she did not like unfashionable. Market position.
Her efficacy did not depend on her personality but on the clothes themselves and what they came to symbolise. Societally it distanced itself from women and leisure all the more from playing with men’s clothes. She was sovereign in her overview of the times, the clients, the new era. The clothes worked automatically to herald in a new age as part of the fashion system. The radical nature was the contrast. Societal class.
She was strategic like being at war. Her morals come through more than the realism of making money. It was the convergence of what she wanted with the business she had to run. Historically, the compromise was then the haute couture. Always, however, it was an eliciting of desire, the essence of luxury. Management desire.
First products of fashion couture and later developments
She locked into fashion as its inherent abilities for women the way that women move and how it actualises in their life. It was the era of dandysme and noticing the flourish of style and what it could mean - and what it could criticise. Her force of form, what was her configuration that made her successful. Particular configuration that was her key to success. The tension at its heart, the classical and baroque but overall classical that tore with Poiret’s. The aesthetic set up of fashion and how it made a comment and moved forward. It lent itself to a propensity of effect, for the new women who had seen it liked it and wore it. The diffeerence became with not just a product but a fact of style, it came from her hand and identity. So how did she do it with the materials. Product category.
She locked into the potential of materials such as jersey, faux pearls. Stepping back, they were a magnificent beautiful creation, but it reduced what everyone knew - men and work - in women’s clothing. She tapped into the beauty of the movement of the era. It concentrated a world where women could work, move freely and heralded that movement. The effect of distance was brought forward and the world dreamed of a little closer. Materials and concentration.
