6 Classic CHANEL Chanel Symbols, Each Is Worth Treasuring!

In the world of Gabrielle Chanel, everything in the world symbolizes something meaningful to Beryl Chane. The woman, who always has new ideas, said without hesitation, "I have created the most recognized style in the world". She has designed a unique symbol that will never be confused, and is a very skillful summary of her elegant style. Ms. Chanel, with her own brevity, integrated a sense of intuition, experience and individualization in the few parts that she considered most important.
If these products have passed the test of time and fashion without losing a hint of originality or showing any signs of obsolescence, it is because: when Chanel women create them, they are thinking with their own mindset, and have practical consideration behind their aesthetic and elegant design, so they can meet many modern functional requirements.
Since Karl Lagerfeld took over as a fashion designer in 1983, he has been seeking to cultivate the traditional spirit of CHANEL: "not to let people feel too high, but to have a hint of humor in it", which is consistent with the motto of Ms. Chanel: "the popular and pleasurable gadget should be fleeting". Carle Therefore, the accessories she designs can always be integrated into the most fashionable ideas, sometimes with inspiring deep meaning. They are constantly being modified or changed, and appear in all the product lines and serve as spokesmen. They always keep pace with the times and interpret the times. Therefore, this myth has become the latest phenomenon, making Chanel's "wish to become one of the pioneers of the times" wish every season to come true.
　　 Chain CHAINS
Whenever Ms. Chanel's male friends choose gifts from her boutique, she always suggests: "I know women, give them metal chains, and they will love them." It is unbelievable that this idea came from a woman struggling to get rid of bondage and strive for freedom, but this striking contradiction also points to her extremely complicated personality. She is a woman who never wishes to owe anyone anything, but is eager to pursue love.
Her taste for clothes and chains could have been shaped in childhood. At that time, women working in the orphanage of Obasin (Aubazine) were wearing "sweeping skirts" towed to the floor. They will pull the skirt up and use the chain to fix it, so that the skirt will be dirty by the wax on the floor. The daily spectacle, coupled with the brilliance of the metal chain on the clothes, fascinated the young Chanel.
In the way of Chanel, the chain appears in necklace, bracelet, waist chain / belt design. These chains are made of hollow copper chains and are entirely hand-made. Another chain, made of solid brass, is a shoulder strap for Chanel leather bags. In order to make the coat she designed can be flawlessly hung and make the people wear more free activities, when other contemporary designers still preferred to use small shot bearing, she took the lead to slide the chain into the seam of the coat. The Chanel set has been recognized globally by women. In some cases, it will also be woven into a chain with a leather, a tussah, or a fabric that is woven with clothing. Its hook is characterized by a theme hook, usually by the sun, lion head, double C shape, four leaf lucky grass and other CHANEL symbols.
The chain is still an important part of the modern product line. In order to conform to the trend of the times, the materials used are more abundant, such as synthetic gemstones and synthetic resins, and even become an interesting foot chain. When they are paired with super mini suits or shorts and continue to appear in various designs, they seem to add some relaxing elements to the timeless femininity.
　 Rhombus leather bag THE BAGS
"I'm tired of having to run around with my hands and bags, and I often lose them, so I put them on thin straps. "Ms. Chanel always takes the lead in trying out her own ideas, and is especially good at borrowing the creativity of men's clothing to add elegance to the modern life of women's lives. A soldier's backpack is one of the sources of inspiration, because it was originally equipped with a strap to allow the user's hand to empty. So from that point of view, she devised a feminine, more detailed knapsack style in 1929, which was made of black or navy blue woolen cloth and lined with red or blue tussah, just like the uniforms she wore in church boarding schools in her childhood.
The design of the CHANEL leather bag is not only beautiful, but also practical, so it immediately gets echoes from many consumers, and now it has been sold globally and widely recognized. In the face of fashion circulation, CHANEL leather bags have many different faces. However, its popularity has not diminished.
The classic CHANEL leather bag itself has two layers of flip cover, and there is another inner bag inside the cover to accommodate more private items, such as love letters or tips for small change. After all, as MS. Chanel often said, "tipping is a comfortable investment." The inner cover is split into three parts and the middle is designed for lipstick. When it was listed in February 1955, the leather bag was linked by a metal ring and linked to a chain. So the legend of an insider named "2.55" in its "birth" period was born. Leather is used during the day, and dinner is made with Jersey or silk fabric. In order to give her the unique form and texture of her purse, Chanel, from the jackets worn by male runners, weaves diamond faces on the surface of a leather bag or Diamond Cross patterns, seams double C marks on the lining, plus gold-plated rectangular torsion locks, and the famous leather chains to complete the unique classic design.
Since the age of Chanel, Carle Lagrange has taken over as the chief designer of CHANEL. So far, this leather bag has undergone a variety of material designs, and has presented many amazing colors. It has been transformed into a large handbag, backpack, cosmetic bag and small leather bag, but no matter what shape it has, it has never lost its dignity or deviated from the one hundred and eighty procedures that must be passed in manufacturing. Today, CHANEL bag can still exist, thanks to the unique skills of traditional professional craftsmen.
　　 Button BUTTONS
In the past centuries, buttons have been regarded as symbols of wealth. Only the king or aristocratic people can use it. The princes and nobles usually decorate buttons with family badges. And in sixteenth Century, before the buttonhole appeared, small buttons made of gold or gemstones had to be sewn onto their sleeves every day and then removed. It is said that French I had asked for 13600 gold buttons on a simple black velvet dress. Civilian buttons are much simpler. During the American Civil War, many people had buttons on the acorns (oak fruit) because of material difficulties. By the year twentieth Century, the popularity of plastics had made mass production of buttons. The decorative meaning of "social class" had almost completely disappeared, mainly because of its practical existence.
The Chanel lady, who often finds inspiration in Renaissance paintings, recreates the decorative meaning of buttons, but because she always focuses on comfort, she also gives buttons a practical role. In the era of Chanel, there are six to ten new buttons in different product lines. The classic gold round button is no doubt drawn from an army uniform worn by MS Chanel when she was young in the streets of Moulin or Vichy. She liked the buttons that glitter on the suits and demanded to change buttons that were not classified. These buttons are able to express the fact that Chanel is decorating the world. They have tortoise shells and lion heads (her constellation symbol), Camellia or lucky grass, or the double C interlacing of her name abbreviation. She gave them an old sense, so the degree of glint was just right. Later, she began to use buttons wrapped in cloth, her name abbreviation appeared in its center, sometimes surrounded by a thin circle of gold. Then we developed various materials such as Pinctada Pinctada and enamel.
Nowadays, there are new buttons coming out every season, and according to the specific requirements of Chanel, each of them has corresponding buttonholes (no ornamental fake buttons). The buttons of advanced order dress are individually made by hand. Some of them are Pinctada shells or steel, or follow the ancient European law, plus milk coloring to match cloth (so the color can be very close, soft, and not easy to fade), from big to small, with tortoise shells, small bags, or famous women's shoes. These buttons, which are exquisitely designed like architectural accessories, always reflect the original spirit of Chanel style.
　　 Camellia CAMELLIA
"You have one hundred ways to wear a flower," Femme Magazine announced in 1927. And miss Chanel has tried everything. Even after seventy years, camellia, which belongs to the CHANEL logo and has many colors, is still closely related to the spirit of the brand.
The perfect simplicity of Camellia: Chanel is deeply fascinated by its close circular geometry, pure color and regular flower petals in traditional order. No one knows for sure why Chanel chose Camellia as the "national flower" of her fashion kingdom. In the imperial court of nineteenth Century, when the nobility attended a dinner party, they always used to have a white camellia on their chest. The Russian lover, dimethyl tri Dagong of Chanel, told her. Maybe she was moved by Xiao Zhong Ma's tragedy, the camellia girl, or maybe because it had no fragrance, and it would not affect the smell of her perfume. The mysterious camellia is not attractive, just like the female it symbolizes.
It is used for decoration, worn on evening dress or sweater, placed in waist, hair band, cap or hair. Camellia is presented in a variety of colors and materials, including silk, silk, velvet, leather and chemical fiber materials.
At the beginning, Chanel lady YISHION white camellia made up her little black dress, and she noticed the contrast that the camellia gave her. White is everywhere, and black is indispensable. "Black and white represent absolute beauty and perfect harmony," she said. Her camellia is still the focus of the classics and the public's attention. The rich collocation of Camellia and Chanel's unique technology distinguish genuine Chanel from other works. Its petals are heart-shaped and pressed with petals of special petals, with stamens in the center. No matter what material is used, skilled craftsmen will take forty minutes to make a Chanel camellia.
Today camellia is also on the earrings and buttons, making patterns on cloth, and even woven into colored sweaters. It is also an important theme of jewelry. Chanel always stands at the forefront of popularity, seeking new material to bring this classic flower to the future.
　 Women's shoes THE TWO-TONE SHOES
Ms. Chanel said shoes are the most important part of elegance. "Her view is similar to that of Thelemann Deho Tallemant des Reaux," he once said. "Women who wear shoes can never be ugly. "
In order to achieve the overall aesthetic appeal she wanted, Ms. Chanel wanted to find shoes that could match all her clothes, elegant styles, and sooner or later, and more importantly, it had to be comfortable to wear and fit for modern women's busy lifestyle. "Shoes should fit like a hat," said Ms. Chanel. "And you must wear it everywhere. Because of all these considerations, she created a square sandal with a five inch high heel and a rear tripping. Although all the shoes were monochromatic and matched with the color of the suit, Ms. Chanel once again set the rules behind her, designing black shoes and beige bicolor shoes (and Slingbacks) to suit the needs of all the costumes.
This time, her inspiration was inspired by men's clothing. At that time, gentlemen wore two colored shoes, which on the one hand made their legs look slender, and on the other hand, shoes could be protected. Ms. Chanel borrowed this idea: the brown shoes can make the legs look slender, and the black toe can not only provide more practical protection, but also make the feet look slender. It was nicknamed "Cinderella's new glass shoes" by the media, and became famous all over the world.
There are three kinds of shoes which are Chanel's "basic style":
1. double colored rear strap Two-tone Slingbacks.
2. ladies' shoes in Baotou (Classic Pumps)
3. balerina shoes (Ballet Slippers, or Ballerinas). (Ballerinas originally meant to play the leading role of ballet dancers).
Starting from the era of Haute Couture (advanced order uniform), Chanel has always insisted on making shoes by hand with skilled craftsmanship, so the output can not be compared with the brand of machine shoe making. At the same time, most of the classic styles use the lightest lambs, which make people wear for a long time without feeling tired. (each shoe is about one lamb, the lambs are only breastfed, yet not big enough to eat grass, so the leather is especially delicate).
Since Carle Karl began to design, he has constantly updated the style of women's shoes in a smart and lively way. No matter what shoes and design appear, Chanel's original spirit is inseparable from the Chanel spirit. The tide of fashion has gone back and forth, but the style is eternal.
Costume jewelry COSTUME JEWELRY
The writer Sharru (Edmonde Charles-Roux) defines Chanel as a "contradiction complex" woman. Her baroque style is comparable to the elegant and simple taste of CHANEL as always. The church decorations that Ms. Chanel saw in her childhood were undoubtedly impressed by her constant pursuit of the combination of luxurious exaggerated costume jewelry and her completely simple style. Ms. Chanel's interest in clothing and jewelry stems from the post-war period. Sometimes when she is boasting, the jewels are hard to distinguish. Her clothes and jewels mimic her real jewellery, even the same process. By the 1820s, women's dresses were inclined to be different. Lovely jewellery, as a good medicine to eliminate the wounds of war, made Chanel's jewelry and accessories very attractive.
Ms. Chanel regarded art and drama as her inspiration. Travel, unexpected discovery, and the people she met around her gave birth to new inspirations, and cultural diversity left traces of her unique creations.
In the company of the Duke of Dimitri, Ms. Chanel discovered the richness and luxury of the Russian court and imitated the crown and cross design of Ozar. After that, she was inspired by the precious jewels provided by Duke of Westminster, and began a new design of semi precious stones. She studied the Royal treasures of Munich and Vienna, and observed the collections of museums and palaces in Florence and Venice. In addition, ancient Egypt, the Medici and Renaissance styles were so fascinating to her.
In 1924, the count of Etienne de Beaumont opened her first CHANEL jewelry store. He created a necklace decorated with Baroque stones and colored artificial glass crosses. "There must be many, many jewels." Ms. Chanel affirmed that she herself wore pearls and jewels all over her body, sometimes arrogant, sometimes exaggerated, but always beautiful, and at any time during the day and night, brooches, necklaces, waist chains / belts and hair accessories were also perfect with simple blouses or fancy evening dresses.
In 1830s, Ms. Chanel's jewellery was influenced by Russian ballet, art deco style and Aztec art. She uses semi precious stones such as jadeite, lapis lazuli, corals, Onyx and amber, as well as crystal, enamel, green feldspar and sand stone. Frangois Hugo, Fulco di Verdum and Paul Iribe successfully created CHANEL imitation jewel jewelry. They insisted on using strict traditional techniques, such as molding, gilding, processing, granulation and gold and silver wire work. After World War II, Chanel commissioned her jewelry design work to a previous model Michele, Michele created a wide variety of strands and chains, and put them between 3 and 4 strands into waist chains / belts.
After the death of the great Chanel lady, the famous "costume jewellery" was gradually forgotten. In 1983, Carle Lagrange revived it. What is worth mentioning is that he once again invented the famous string chain, and again used Chanel's famous pearl pearl, and was characterized by the special frosting effect of Chanel. He restarted making costume jewelry, using Chanel ladies' favorite materials and creating different styles. In every series of clothing launches, Carle Lagrange is able to change the size and shape of bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Thanks to him, the secret technology that has been dug up for more than 50 years can continue to make the CHANEL Chanel jewelry and jewelry have unparalleled marks, so that it can be instantly identified anywhere in the world.
