French fashion designer. One of the most representative designers of the 20th century. Nicknamed Coco Chanel. Starting out as a hat designer, she introduced functional and simple jersey clothing that reflected the social changes after World War I, and introduced a new concept of femininity. She was active from the 1920s to the 1930s, and is known for her diverse friendships, from artists such as Picasso and Cocteau to aristocrats. After World War II, she took a break from creative activities, but when she returned in 1954, she started the worldwide Chanel suit boom of the 1960s, and reigned as the queen of Parisian fashion until just before her death. Her consistent fashion philosophy of "clothes for working women" gave birth to the cardigan-type so-called "Chanel suit," which is highly regarded as the prototype of 20th century women's clothing. Her achievements also include the idea of costume jewelry that emphasizes decorativeness, and the launch of the perfume "Chanel No. 5," named after haute couture. Karl Lagerfeld (1933-2019), who was appointed designer for Chanel stores in 1983, once again sparked a worldwide boom in Chanel suits.

フランスの服飾デザイナー。20世紀を代表するデザイナーの一人。愛称ココ・シャネル。帽子デザイナーから出発し、第一次世界大戦後の社会変化を反映した、機能的でシンプルなジャージーの服を発表し、新しい女性らしさの概念を打ち出した。1920年から1930年代にかけて活躍し、ピカソ、コクトーら芸術家から、貴族までの多彩な交友は有名。第二次世界大戦後、創作活動を休んでいたが、1954年カムバックすると、1960年代の世界的なシャネル・スーツのブームを起こし、死の直前まで、パリ・モード界の女王として君臨した。彼女の一貫した「働く女性のための服」というファッション哲学は、カーディガン・タイプのいわゆる「シャネル・スーツ」を生み、これは20世紀女性服のプロトタイプとして高く評価される。装飾性を重視したコスチューム・ジュエリーの発想、オートクチュールの名をつけた香水「シャネル5番」の発売なども彼女の業績である。1983年以来シャネル店のデザイナーに任命された、カール・ラガーフェルドKarl Lagerfeld(1933―2019)により、ふたたび世界的にシャネル・スーツ・ブームが起こった。 [深井晃子] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
