Even those who know nothing about Coco Chanel's life have likely heard of the "little black dress" and "Chanel No. 5" perfume. However, these iconic creations are just a small part of her contributions. In short, Chanel changed the status of women in the world. Can this be achieved with hats and dresses? It turns out, yes. Why did a woman who sewed dresses inspire musicians and poets? And not just as a woman, but as a designer. Do hats and dresses relate to art? Chanel herself did not want to be called an artist, but others disagreed. Another painful question: Can all that Chanel did for fashion and for women in general outweigh her collaboration with the fascists? There is no single answer to this question.
