  Coco Chanel (19 August 1883—10 January 1971) was a French fashion designer and founder of the Chanel brand. From her first millinery shop, opened in 1912, to the 1920s, Coco Chanel rose to become one of the premier fashion designers in Paris, France. Her fashion themes included simple suits and dresses, women’s trousers, costume jewelry, perfume and textiles.
  可可·香奈尔(1883年8月19日—1971年1月10日)是法国时装设计师及香奈尔品牌的创始人。从她1912年开了第一家女帽店开始,到20世纪20年代,可可·香奈尔跃居成为法国巴黎驰名时装设计师之一。她的时尚设计主题包括简约的套装和裙子、女裤、人造珠宝、香水和针织品。
  Coco Chanel’s chemise set a fashion trend with its “little boy” look. Her relaxed fashions and short skirts were in sharp contrast to the corset fashions popular in the previous decades. Chanel herself dressed in mannish clothes, and adapted these more comfortable fashions which other women also found liberating.
  可可·香奈尔的女衬衣以其“中性风”引领了时尚潮流。她设计出来的宽松服装和短裙与过去几十年一直流行的束身服装截然相反。香奈尔自己也穿上男子似的服装,以及那些舒适度更高的衣服,这些服装使妇女不再受束缚。
  Named as one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century, legendary designer Coco Chanel was a pioneer in the world of fashion. She believed in simple yet highly expensive designs. Not only did she make “black” the black it is today, but she also created the wardrobe staple that none of us can live without—the little black dress!
  可可·香奈儿被誉为20世纪最具影响力的百位名人之一,这位颇具传奇色彩的设计师是时尚界的先锋。她推崇简洁但高贵的设计风格。她不仅使“黑色”拥有了今天的地位,还创造出我们衣橱中不可缺少的服饰——小黑裙!
  Here are some little-known facts about her:
  以下是可可·香奈儿鲜为人知的七件事:
  Coco Chanel was so enchanted with pockets that this would prove to be the main focus of her designs in handbags for women!
  可可·香奈儿非常喜欢口袋,她的女包设计的重点就是口袋!
  Chanel started her career by designing hats which later became a bit hit with aristocratic Parisians. It was her innovative and fancy hat designs that attracted plenty of attention.
  香奈儿的设计事业是从设计帽子开始的,她所设计的帽子后来成为巴黎贵族的挚爱。新颖并具有想象力的帽子设计为她带来了大量的关注。
  Did you know that before she became a fashion legend, Coco Chanel used to work as a clerk in a small hosiery shop? Legends do start small! From humble beginnings to grandeur!
  你知道可可·香奈儿在成为时尚传奇人物之前,曾在一家小袜子店里做过店员吗?传奇人物总是从小人物开始的!从渺小开始走向伟大!
  If you thought tanning became fashionable by accident, think again! It was Coco Chanel who made it seem fashionable when she got burnt by sun rays way back in 1923 on a cruise towards Cannes!
  如果你认为“美黑”是偶然形成的时尚,请你再好好想想!1923年,可可·香奈儿在去戛纳巡游的途中皮肤被阳光晒伤,是她让“美黑”看起来非常时髦!
  For more than 30 years Coco Chanel made the mighty hotel Ritz in Paris her home! It was rumored that German officer Dincklage (with whom she was having an affair) made arrangements for her to stay in the hotel!
  可可·香奈儿在巴黎著名的里茨酒店居住了30多年!据传是德国军官丁克拉格(与可可·香奈儿有暧昧关系)安排她住在这个酒店里的!
  Maybe there was something special in the number 5—enough to have Coco Chanel superstitious and in awe of it. It was no coincidence that Chanel No. 5 was introduced on 5th May 1921!
  也许数字“5”有些特别之处而足以让可可·香奈儿迷信并敬畏它。“香奈儿5 号”香水于1921 年5 月5日推出,这绝非巧合!
  Coco Chanel might have dated and had affairs with plenty of men but she never got married. Maybe she thought it would take away from her dedication to the fashion world.
  可可·香奈儿可能与许多男人约会过并与他们有过风流韵事,但她却从未结过婚。也许她认为婚姻会阻碍她对时尚界的贡献。
