Coco Chanel Culture

I recently saw a beautiful piece of Chanel street art and it made me think about the effect Chanel has had on modern culture. Chanel's iconic interlocking "C" logo is one of the most widely-recognized logos in the world.  In fact, many people who appreciate Chanel may not even own a piece of Chanel but they can appreciate the status and modern elegance it has come to represent.  It is no longer about the clothes, but more about admiring the visual creativity of Coco Chanel or Karl Lagerfeld. You don't have to wear Chanel to be a fan of Chanel. Chanel has permeated beauty, art, lifestyle- Coco's quotes are even famous, and has become synonymous with class and style.
