Gabrielle Chanel presented her creation to the public back in 1954, when she was 71 years old. All the fashionistas of that time were in love with Christian Dior's dresses, but Coco turned their vision upside down with her bold appearance after almost a decade of absence from the fashion world. Her jacket instantly gained worldwide popularity and subsequently became a cult item of clothing in the women's wardrobe. The Chanel jacket is still relevant and in demand.
