Friday marks Coco Chanel's birthday. The famed French fashion designer, who passed away in 1971, would have been 133 years old today.
Chanel is one of the most well-known fashion designers of all time, and even decades after her death, her brand - which Karl Lagerfeld has been at the helm of since 1983 - continues to dominate the industry.
From her Chanel No. 5 perfume — still the best selling fragrance in the world — to her stylish suits or perfect little black dresses, Chanel's influence on fashion is unwavering.
