"A woman can always be overdressed,

but never over elegant."

-Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel

While writing a research paper in my college Fashion Design class, I learned many things about one of my favorite designers, Coco Chanel. This information came back to mind this weekend while watching the very anticipated, World Premiere movie on Lifetime about her life! Coco Chanel was a pioneering fashion designer who revolutionized women's fashion in the mid-twentieth century, and yet still has a major influence on the modern fashion world today. Many of her fashions are timeless, lasting from generation to generation, including her signature "Little Black Dress". Her thought process on trends remained the same throughout her designing years: No matter what the fashion trend, style and elegance should always remain. This is one of the many beliefs Chanel stood for and is also a large part of my thinking with Bridal and Bridesmaid's fashion. Different fashions come and go, but a woman's elegance should always shine through.

"A woman's body is what defines the shape of the dress she should wear."
