Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel (19 August 1883 – 10 January 1971) was a French fashion designer and businesswoman who revolutionized women's fashion in the early 20th century. She is renowned for her timeless designs, trademark suits, and little black dresses. Chanel's influence extended beyond couture clothing; her design aesthetic was realized in jewelry, handbags, and fragrance. Her signature scent, Chanel No. 5, has become an iconic product.

Before achieving fame as a fashion designer, Coco Chanel began her career as a milliner, or hat maker. In the work "Le Grand Mode à l'Envers" from 1919, the caricaturist Georges Goursat, known as Sem, captured the essence of Chanel's early foray into the fashion world. This illustration, which translates to "High Fashion Upside Down," reflects the transformative period in fashion and society post-World War I, where Chanel's designs played a pivotal role in redefining women's fashion.

Chanel's millinery shop, "Chanel Modes," opened in 1910 at 21 rue Cambon in Paris, marking the beginning of her illustrious career in fashion. Her hats were known for their simplicity and elegance, eschewing the excessive ornamentation that was popular at the time. Chanel's approach to millinery was a precursor to her later work in fashion, where she emphasized comfort, practicality, and a departure from the corseted silhouette that dominated women's fashion.

The reference to "Le Grand Mode à l'Envers" in Chanel's biography is significant as it highlights the period when Chanel was establishing her reputation in the fashion industry. Sem's portrayal of Chanel as a milliner underscores her role in the avant-garde movement of fashion, which sought to invert and challenge the traditional norms of the time. Chanel's work as a milliner set the stage for her later success as a couturier and her enduring impact on the fashion industry.

Coco Chanel's legacy as a milliner and fashion designer remains influential to this day, with the Chanel brand continuing to be synonymous with elegance, innovation, and timeless style.
