Today, we are going to share the history of the Chanel tweed jacket. This is one of the most iconic fashion pieces that withstood the test of time and left a mark on the fashion industry forever, so as an insider, you must know about its history.
The first Chanel tweed suit, which we also call “The Chanel tweed jacket” today, was created by Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel in 1925. Just as with everything she designed, this item was born with the desire to liberate women from the conventional norms of dressing up and offer practical, yet feminine clothes. Indeed, the French designer sought to dress women “in suits that make them feel at ease, but that still emphasize femininity.”
