Coco Chanel, Michael Kors, Tory Burch, and more—explore who has influenced the world of fashion the most, and who might be the next big name.
Coco Chanel
Coco Chanel was born Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel on August 19, 1883 in Saumur, France. Her early years were anything but glamorous. At age 12, after her mother died, Chanel was taken to an orphanage by her father, who worked as a street vendor. Chanel was raised by nuns who taught her to sew, a skill that would lead to her life's work. Her nickname comes from another occupation entirely. During her brief singing career, Chanel performed at clubs in Vichy and Moulins, where she was called "Coco." Some say the name comes from one of the songs she used to sing, and Chanel herself said it was a "shortened version of cocotte, the French word for 'kept woman,'" according to an article in The Atlantic. Among all her works purses remain a prime attraction to the fans of Chanel. One can view the Coco Chanel purses sale online for a wide range of varieties.

One can never go wrong with a saree
Abstract The initial project focus intended to break down cultural barriers through the designing of fashion, inspired by both Indian and Western culture. However, whilst the concept of cultural fusion remained, the project began to shift as research led to an awareness and interest in the need for sustainable fashion. This project examines zero-waste pattern-making techniques along with the recycling and repurposing of used Indian saree cloth. Recycling practices are not a new trend in Indian culture, and zero-waste practices are embedded in the history of garment making. Such practices could be seen through the draping of the saree.

These kids are my happy place
My life hasn’t always gone to plan. In fact it never really has. I’m 32, single, broke and have a heart condition that stops me from living up to my full potential. One thing has been a constant in my life. Marching. Now known as DrillDance.

My Creative Refuge. Top Story - June 2021.
Since I was a kid, I wanted to be a fashion designer. My Mom always says I had my own mind about clothes even before I could speak. When I was a toddler, my Mom and I were passing by a clothing shop and I kept reaching towards the window at this peach velour outfit. She took me into the shop and I was almost possessed by this outfit. She tried to get me to like the navy version instead but I was sure I wanted the peach. Throughout my childhood and teenage years I dreamed of becoming a fashion designer in a big city and having my own brand. After years of dreaming, I ended up getting into Parsons in New York City to study Fashion Design. I was enamoured with the fashion world and New York. While I was there I did countless internships for brands and magazines, school was fun and creative but by the end of my four years I felt a little bit burned out. I decided to move to London to try something new.

Share moments, share Ecoafriq’s handmade.
I started ecoafriq in 2016. I grew up around African crafts and love the colours, creativity and culture. The materials I favour to weave hats and bags are raffia straw, sugarcane, sisal fibres and vines. These materials are biodegradable, easy to dye, weave and are sourced in Africa.

How To Be a Diva
I love fashion, I love designing and the transformative power that clothes can have on an individual. For me creativity has always been something that has been an integral part of my life. Growing up my mother, who is an artist and classically trained pianist, would teach my sister and I the importance of the arts. I began designing clothes at the age of five and by seven years old I knew I wanted to be a fashion designer.

Sew Up
The photo you see for the thumbnail was taken at 6 am on the top of the old garage found in my backyard in Vancouver using my iPhone propped next to a dead branch. This was because I couldn't sleep due to having just finished a project that I had been working on for about a month: A floral vest I made out of an old curtain.

A Fashion Of Sorts.
Creativity can come fast or slow much like the world of fashion. I worked for a few years for a high fashion house learning the ropes and assisting to design the ready to wear collections. Because we were removed from the world of fast fashion, time was in our favour. With only four seasonal collections a year to produce there was more emphasis given to fleshing out the context of our inspiration and developing a complex story with nuances from light and shade, to cut, colour and fabrication. I would spend hours researching the history of our chosen theme and looking for clues to ignite the creative process.
