Coco Chanel defined modern fashion for women everywhere. Thanks to her innovative designs, women's fashions departed from the restrictive garb that was the norm before World War I to a more casual aesthetic in clothing. She started the conversation of what to wear and how to wear it—a conversation women all over the globe are still having today.
