2Coco Chanel
Well, this is simple. There is nothing I can say to convince you that she deserves her spot in this list. Let’s just remember all the great stuff she did.
With her trademark suits and little black dresses, fashion designer Coco Chanel created timeless designs that are still popular today.
Opening her first shop on Paris’s Rue Cambon in 1910, Chanel started out selling hats. She later added stores in Deauville and Biarritz and began making clothes.
Her first taste of clothing success came from a dress she fashioned out of an old jersey on a chilly day. In response to the many people who asked about where she got the dress, she offered to make one for them.
“My fortune is built on that old jersey that I’d put on because it was cold in Deauville,” she once told author Paul Morand.
