Artist Statement
Style arbiter Gabrielle Chanel, or Coco, made the world more beautiful with her iconic fashion designs. Born into poverty, she lost her mother as a young child and was sent to live in an orphanage. Committed to self-invention, she famously said, "My life didn't please me, so I created my life." Her timeless aesthetic that "luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury" revolutionized fashion with her iconic suits and the simple elegance of the "Little Black Dress." This is a fashionable reminder that no matter what age we are, we are beautiful and therefore, timeless.
