10 FUN FACTS ABOUT COCO CHANEL..............

• She was born in France in 1883 and was part of a big family, as one of five children.
• When Coco was 12, her mother passed away from tuberculosis and her father left the family; she spent the next six years in an orphanage.
• She became a licensed hat-maker and owned her first shop in 1910.
• She introduced her first perfume, Chanel No. 5, in 1922, and it was one of the first perfumes ever to mix natural and artificial essences.
• She invented the “Little Black Dress” in 1926, which French Vogue dubbed “Chanel’s Ford”, for its practicality and marketability.
• She is credited with popularizing the concept of “costume jewelry” in the 1920s, creating seasonal jewelry that mixed fake pearls with real stones.
• She introduced the idea of using jersey fabric to create clothing, which had prior been used only for men’s undergarments.
• She and her brand are most well known for costume jewelry, two-toned shoes, quilted bags, and simple suits made of tweed or jersey.
• Her classic Chanel suit became famous for its flattering cut, simple fabric, and specially weighted lining, to give it that perfect hang.

SHOE FACTOIDS

Footwear Facts

• 
  Sandals originated in warm climates where the soles of the feet needed protection but the top of the foot needed to be cool.
• 4,000 years ago the first shoes were made of a single piece of rawhide that enveloped the foot for both warmth and protection.
• In Europe pointed toes on shoes were fashionable from the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries.
• In the Middle East heels were added to shoes to lift the foot from the burning sand.
• In Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries heels on shoes were always colored red.
• Shoes all over the world were identical until the nineteenth century, when left- and right-footed shoes were first made in Philadelphia.
• In Europe it wasn't until the eighteenth century that women's shoes were different from men's.
• Six-inch-high heels were worn by the upper classes in seventeenth-century Europe. Two servants, one on either side, were needed to hold up the person wearing the high heels.
• 
  Sneakers were first made in America in 1916. They were originally called keds.
• Boots were first worn in cold, mountainous regions and hot, sandy deserts where horse-riding communities lived. Heels on boots kept feet secure in the stirrups.
• The first lady's boot was designed for Queen Victoria in 1840.
