Chanel was famous for her simple, yet elegant designs - tweed suits and little black dresses were among the looks she pioneered. Now, the name and designs of Chanel are currently under the Karl Lagerfeld label in Paris. Alice Mackrell is the assistant curator of a private art collection in London and is the author of The Macmillan Dictionary of Art.
