The Fashion Icons I’m Thankful For

Published by

 In the spirit of Thanksgiving let’s give thanks to the fashion icons who have paved the way for all of the inspiring designers, fashion bloggers and lovers of fashion world wide. Let’s say a big thank you for paving the way, giving us inspiration, hope and a fierce passion for all things fashion.  With that said I want to offer you a list of some of the people who I feel have truly made an impact in both fashion and my life: Coco Chanel– No fashion list would be complete without mentioning the woman who completely reinvented women’s fashion as a whole. Before Coco Chanel women had to be slaves to fashion, wearing things that didn’t flatter their bodies, and didn’t show the amazing female form. She is quoted as saying “I gave women’s bodies their freedom back; their bodies sweated under their corsets, their underwear, their padding.” Through her clothing and design she essentially gave birth to the new modern woman.  Even today Coco Chanel lives on her iconic designs are some of the …
