Coco Chanel: The History

coco-chanelFor the first time in the company’s history, Chanel has created a public  domain which shares the story of the company’s history, as well as the biography  of its founder and namesake, Coco Chanel.

The site is divided into a timeline of  the biography of Coco and a history of the Chanel company, as well as a video  history of its famous perfume, Chanel No. 5, entitled ‘For The First Time.’

The company will continue to supplement the site with additional information  and videos, but for now there’s a collection of interesting photographs,  historical tidbits, and commercials. The video history of Chanel No. 5 reveals  that the perfume was the first to combine multiple fragrances (a total of 80 for  this particular scent) and shares the celebrities that lent their image to the  famous fragrance, including Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman and Audrey Tautou.

The archives come on the heel of popularity and interest sparked by the film ‘Coco Before Chanel‘, starring Audrey Tautou, in addition to other micro-sites launched by high  fashion companies, including Burberry  and Valentino.
