An autographed sketch by fashion designer Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel is a French fashion designer and the founder of the Chanel fashion house. She had a significant impact on the international fashion of the 20th century. Coco Chanel's name has long been synonymous with sophisticated style and excellent taste.

The sketch presented in the Stargift collection dates back to 1928. It was hand-signed by Coco Chanel.

It is known that Coco Chanel could not draw, so all the sketches were made by artists. The sketches of the future embroideries were first sent to Mademoiselle Chanel for approval, then they were carefully finalized for a long time before starting work. The fashion designer, who had amazing flair, immediately noted the great success of the first collection, and the orders that followed confirmed her confidence.

The sketch shows a girl in a hat for a reason, because it was with these hats that Coco Chanel's career began. It was she who proposed an alternative to large dusty structures on women's heads in the form of hats with elegant brims and one perky quivering feather. Interestingly, Coco Chanel wore a hat even while at home. She explained this as a simple and convenient way to quickly get rid of uninvited guests. As soon as someone came, Chanel immediately searched for her gloves and purse. Everyone understood the hint without exception.
