*MIZSPECIAL* 100 Years of Chanel {Part 1: Coco Chanel}

It was 1913 in Deauville when Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel opened her first boutique and began her sartorial legacy. She inspired women to dress freely and taught them everything about elegance & class. Chanel is celebrating 100 years and I just couldn't pass the chance to create a MizSpecial on Coco Chanel. Click past the break and you'll find a pictorial featuring Daria Werbowy posing as Coco Chanel. Then, I picked out my favorite quotes by Chanel. Lastly, I put together items that are inspired by Chanel's style. Stay tuned for the second part of this MizSpecial: 100 Years of Chanel.

Just like a Chanel jacket that never falls out of style, Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel's iconic style lasts forever. Here's to another stylish century of Chanel!
