Beyond the Double-C: Honoring Coco

This month’s window display honoring Chanel was designed and installed by Kim Hayes, Rung Sales Associate & Summer Intern Lauren Kasperski.

Today, Chanel is easily recognized by the double C logo, but the meaning of Chanel is much more than a quilted leather handbag. Coco Chanel revolutionized the fashion industry by creating classic designs that are still around today. Rung’s new window display commemorates the women who ultimately changed women’s fashion with her simplistic, elegant designs.

One side of the display represents a designer’s workshop and the other is an inspiration board for the Chanel 2011 Fall Couture line. The workshop symbolizes the beginning of Chanel’s career, working as a seamstress. The second part of the display shows what Chanel represents as a brand today.

Chanel’s life demonstrates the classic rags to riches story. At a very early age, Chanel had big dreams to escape her orphan life. Chanel followed her dreams, opened her own business and made her work known with little experience.
