About author(s): Chiara Pasqualetti Johnson is a journalist who writes on travel, art and lifestyle for the magazines "Dove" and "Bell\'Italia", and for specialist publications.
She revolutionized the concept of feminine elegance with straight dresses and inventions that would later become icons: these were the little black dress, Chanel N 5, costume jewelry, the suit with gold buttons, and the quilted bag.
With her grit and tenacity, she made her fortune and restored freedom to women.

Coco Chanel was founder and queen of a fashion empire, and her name is forever linked to an unmistakable style.
