Coco Chanel

She was given credit in the post-World War I era for popularizing a casual, chic, and sporty look as the feminine standard of style. She was seen as a rebel of the fashion world for creating a new sartorial style that freed women from lace frills and corsets, offering them instead sailor shirts and wide-legged pants. She isn't only well known for her clothes; she's also known for her purses and fragrances.
