Coco Chanel is memorable for many reasons. Not only was fashion revolutionized with her little black dress, but something a lot of people dont know is she is the reason being tan is considered a good thing. Back then having a lighter complection was a sign of beauty but one year when she took a trip to a tropical island, she became tan and when she arrived back home people began to look at being tan as attractive.
Gabrielle Chanel, in her youth, would frequent raucous parties, during which she would be urged to sing her signature tune, a popular song called "Coco." This became her nickname. Chanel had a keen eye and ear for the succinct and memorable. Coco was a better name for a brand (she, in fact, grew to see herself as a brand) than was Gabrielle.
