Marilyn Monroe (1950s Chanel No. 5 spokesmodel) pictured splashing herself with Chanel No. 5. The image is certainly the most famous of all Chanel advertisements.
While she failed to get steady work as a singer, it was at Moulins that she met rich, young French textile（织纺继承人） heir Étienne Balsan, to whom she soon became an acknowledged mistress（公 开的情人）, keeping her day job in a tailoring shop（裁缝店）. Balsan lavished on her the beauties of "the rich life": diamonds, dresses, and pearls. While living with Balsan, Chanel began designing hats as a hobby, which soon became a deeper interest of hers. In 1909 Chanel met and began an affair （恋爱） with one of Balsan's friends, Captain Arthur Edward 'Boy' Capel.[4] Capel financed（出资） Chanel's first shops and his own clothing style, notably his jersey blazers, inspired（启示） her creation of the Chanel look. The couple spent time together at fashionable resorts such as Deauville, but he was never faithful（忠于） to Chanel.

Coco and her Chanel
Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel (19 August 1883 – 10 January 1971) was a pioneering（先驱） French fashion designer whose modernist philosophy（思想体 系）, menswear-inspired fashions, and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her an important figure in 20thcentury fashion. She was the founder of the famous fashion brand Chanel. Her extraordinary influence on fashion was such that she was the only person in the couturier field to be named on Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century.
She says. A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous. 每个女孩都该做到两点：有品位并光芒四射。 Fashion passes, style. remains. 时尚会过去，但风格永存 Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity. 有些人认为奢侈的反义词是贫穷。事实上不是这样。奢侈的反义词是粗俗。 I love luxury. And luxury lies not in richness and ornateness but in the absence of vulgarity. Vulgarity is the ugliest word in our language. I stay in the game to fight it. 我爱奢侈。奢侈并不意味着贵重与装饰华丽，奢侈就是屏除粗俗。粗俗是我们语言中最丑 的一个词。我从事设计就是为了对抗粗俗。 Innovation! One cannot be forever innovating. I want to create classics. 创造！人不能永远创造。我想做的是制作经典。 A woman who doesn't wear perfume has no future. 不用香水的女人没有未来。
The company has had many high-profile celebrities as spokesmodels,
Vanessa Paradis (spokesmodel for Coco Perfume),
Keira Knightley (current spokesmodel for Coco Mademoiselle), and most famously
Carole Bouquet (1990s Chanel No. 5 spokesmodel),

Chanel has always specialized in items such as simple suits, dresses, women's pants, and costume jewelry. Coco Chanel's vision was to replace such opulent, sexy pieces with items which conveyed casual elegance（取代这种华丽，与 项目的休闲优雅的性感转达件）. Her designs and creations are timeless, considering that the basic silhouettes（基调） have remained consistent （保持一致） from generation to generation（一代又一代）. Today, Chanel is most famous for the "little black dress" which has become a key item in most women's closets.（大多数女性的壁橱的一个关键部分）
