Happy Birthday Coco

Today is the iconic fashion designer Coco Chanel birthday. Coco Chanel bought us the little black dress, the Chanel suit jacket, bell bottoms and Chanel No.5 perfume. Coco passed in 1971 and Karl Lagerfeld took over as chief designer of the fashion house in 1983. So the next time you put on that sexy little black dress remember who 1st made it.
