Coco Chanel...
When I hear the name Coco Chanel I instantly picture a woman dressed in a little black dress with strings of pearls. Not only a designer but a fashion icon, Chanel known for her little black dresses, classic timeless suits, shoes, purses, jewellery and No 5 perfume, her designs helped define women's fashion and made women feel independent and powerful.
Chanel’s Famous style tweed skirt suit and her classic simple little black dress design.
Extremely Popular No 5 perfume...
I found similar high street inspired chanel designs..
The tweed check shift-style dress similar to Chanels garments is from Matalan £28 for the jacket and £20 for the dress. The LBD is from Topshop priced at £48..
I dont think any woman should be without a simple LBD in their wardrobe as it is a classic piece which can be worn time and time again and can be accessorised to suit any occasion.
Coco Chanel’s legacy will most definitely last forever, as the woman who was known for creating elegant, uncluttered silhouettes and exquisite fabrics.

Lady Gaga..
Has Lady Gaga pushed the fashion boundaries too far? I don’t think so. I think her intention is to shock and push the boundaries of fashion. She once said “Fashion is everything to me. It's just as important as the music. I don't want to exist to the British people as just one song. I want to be a true artist who affects their culture.”
Although relatively new to the music and fashion seen, Lady gaga has millions of fashion followers. I think people enjoy watching and waiting for her next eccentric and iconic fashion looks, whether it be a dress made of bubbles or raw meat!
Some people argue she has not been in the spotlight long enough to be named as a fashion icon however she has millions of people who embrace her art and love of fashion and she has brought back futuristic, pvc and influenced millions to wear the iconic bow hair piece.
Here is an example of Christina Aguilera copying one of Gagas famous pvc outfits and Paris Hilton copying Gagas futuristic look.
